I really, really, really hope we get something on religion… then all that info from religious debates and history that mum makes me listen to will finally pay off…
@Ngzk07 I hope it was as easy as today’s AP Lang test too. Let’s “pray” together. Anyone care to join? ^:)^
anyone have some must know dates? I’m so bad at historical context I don’t even know where to start D:
@akgtdoskce My teacher gave our class a pdf on some important dates. http://d3jc3ahdjad7x7.■■■■■■■■■■■■■■/17OMGcGCH7I4Zmq2rDIak931Jhrck5dcaYtBsBHXuQX5sghw.pdf
Man looking at the statistics for score distributions makes me scared that I’m gonna get a 2 lol… I wish they reformatted the test this year instead of next year. Could’ve been 10x easier
@akgtdoskce I don’t think specific dates are required for the AP Exam. After all, the test isn’t on specifics but rathe r trends and patterns of a unit. Have a basic idea for the timespan of each unit however, and also have a general idea of the order events in World History happened.
From what I’ve heard, dates aren’t too essential, but I think it’s important to know when Han China, Rome, the Mongols, Ottomans, and maybe a few Islamic empires/sultanates existed. I’ll be so screwed if the essays are on China! Please let them be about Latin America or the Enlightenment revolutions!!
Yeah, looking at score distributions are scary, however looking at the scores needed on the MC and FR to get those scores makes it look way better. This makes me think that AP world is a very common class that is taken throughout everywhere in general, and that the majority of people simply don’t try hard enough to do well, which I can definitely see within my own school, though my school is decently strong academically, all sophomores have the choice between regular and AP and many that take AP aren’t hard working.
the answer was he was a scuba diver and if he ripped his shirt the water drowns him
That is also why a 28 on the ACT can be higher than over 90% of the students all over the country. And in my opinion it would be at most 80%
Yeah, exactly, when you think of it in these terms, the percentage score distribution isn’t that scary anymore
Good night everybody. Wish we all get what we want and deserve tomorrow!
Here comes from my final AP exam for the year. It’s finally going to be over. Yay! The other two had really easy multiple choice but confusing free response. I hope that World History won’t be like that this year. I’m scared of whatever trickery they pull up this year for the DBQ. Also, watch as they put a CCOT for something like Africa or SE Asia during the Classical Era; that would be scary.
Guys what do you usually need to get on each FRQ to get a 4 or a 5? I’m aiming for at least a 7 or 6 on the DBQ but idk about the ccot and compare/contrast…
Guys I took this class/exam last year (WORST THING EVER) and I’m here to give you soldiers some pieces of advice.
TAKE YOUR TIME READING THE ESSAYS.
TAKE YOUR TIME ANSWERING THE ESSAYS
DON’T UNDERESTIMATE THE ESSAYS*****
Seriously… I studied 2-3 hours a day for the 2 months leading up to the exam because it was my only test I needed to prepare for and I studied so much I could’ve recited almost all 5000 years of history. On the day of the exam, I completely crushed the multiple choice. However, I wasn’t careful in my essays and on one of them, wrote about the complete wrong thing. (0/9). On the DBQ, I blanked and forgot the essential components to a DBQ and got 3/9 MAX. So even though I knew my history inside and out, the essays killed my score and I ended up with a 4. A 4 isn’t bad at all, just extremely disappointing because it could’ve been a 5 if I put more effort in practicing the free response. I know tomorrow’s the exam and I wanted to say good luck to you all, but if any of you are cramming tonight/tomorrow morning, I suggest you stop with the history and REVIEW your essay formats, thesis formats, etc. It’ll help you more than any timeline will. Good luck 
@imbep49 It all depends on your multiple choice score. Assuming you get 45 multiple choice questions correct, using this handy dandy ap world history calculator, you can get a 4 with a 5 on each essay. If you bump that up to a 7 on the DBQ, then that bumps it up to a 5.
Good luck everyone! Have a good night sleep and let’s rock that exam tomorrow!
@picuberoot Thank you. I’m studying the essays right now. I’m just afraid that I’ll panic and get an amygdala hijack if I don’t understand the topic, so I’m mainly focusing on studying the comparison essay right now.
studying right now… with crash course
good luck everyone, wish me luck too, I just want a 4.
OK guys I checked on an that AP Pass Calculator, and it looks like you need a minimum of exactly 60% on multiple choice and 6’s on all three free response for a 5. That makes me feel a little better, but I’m still super nervous. I did this class as a self study, and while I put lots of effort into it, I’m not confident I have enough knowledge to pull the Change/Continuity essay off using only my own information!
On another positive note, one reason for the low frequency of 5’s is that tons of Sophomores take this exam after their Honors World history class, hoping to do well, only to realize that the test is all about analysis/interpretation, not route memorization.
I think I studied things that didnt really need to be studied LOL.
The FRQ were a breeze. I’m definitely predicting a five.
