<p>I would absolutely love to get a 5 on this exam… My first AP exam. I would be happy with a 4, not too dissatisfied with a 3 (although it seems a good majority of colleges dont seem to accept a 3), but anything lower than a 3, I’d be kind of ****ed. I just hope FRQ’s are graded very lenient :/. I’m trying to read PR. Thing is, I average like a 50-55% on tests we take in class that are supposedly AP test questions… kinda worried about that.</p>

<p>Hey! We used Western Civ and I got a 5 last year. Then again, my teacher was awesome… but the textbook in and of itself is fine.</p>
<p>And I read through Cliffs about two weeks before the test to study.</p>
<p>But the best thing I did was intensely study the 30 years war the night before b/c I realized i knew nothing about it. By the end of 2 hours of studying, i knew it very well and was actually hoping they’d ask an essay q about it. And, lo-and-behold, they had an FRQ on it! My advice would be when you’re cramming, or like the couple of nights before the test, study intensely three or four topics you know very little about. You might get lucky!</p>
<p>Just exactly how much information did you put into that essay? What did you score on it? Will simply having a good thesis as well as a few facts give a decent score? I’m honestly shooting for anything above a 5 lol.</p>
<p>on that 38 question test thing on the course description, i got a 30 out of 38, which turns into a 80%. I haven’t exactly started studying for the exam yet, but I do have a photographic memory, so I guess that helps.
I really want to get a 5. Eeks. I hate AP’s.
Anyways, I think i’m going to go buy the crashcourse thing.</p>
<p>If I remember right, a 50-55% on the MC was about a 4, assuming the essays were of equal quality.</p>
<p>Anyway, I had to update Acrobat Reader. I got it working, thanks though. As I said I took AP Euro last year and got a 5 on the exam.</p>
<p>I just went through those 38 questions really quickly and ended up getting 28/38 right. If you are pushing for a 5, you should be getting about 28 (or maybe a few more or less) right out of those 38 questions. Just a gauge for those of you who might be nervous. (Hopefully I didn’t make you more nervous. lol)</p>
<p>thanks for helping out, FallenAngel. Those questions seemed pretty hard to me, although I have yet to re-review everything, so hopefully that will help :)</p>
<p>Has anyone ever heard of “The Western Experience”? My US history teacher gave that for me to study from, and it’s been pretty good so far.</p>
<p>I’ll be honest with you, some of those questions were pretty hard. A couple I remember from taking the course and only got right because I got them wrong before. lol</p>
<p>^^I use Western Experience. It is a great, analytical textbook for European History, but it becomes unorganized in the later chapters.</p>
<p>Uh oh. Haven’t started my review for the test (finishing the last chapter tomorrow… THEN reviewing) and got a 28/38 on the quiz. Not gooooood. Does anybody know what that would translate to be approximately on the test?</p>
<p>This is speculative, but probably a high 4 or a low 5, assuming essays are of equal quality.</p>
<p>great… I got people on here worried about a 28/38, which comes out to about a 59/80. Just saying if they got a 59/80, and 21 wrong (they could have skipped these) they could get a 4 with getting 3s on FRQs and 4 on DBQ. Where I got a 10/38, which would come out to be about 21/80 and 59/80 wrong, would need about 7s on all my essays to maintain a 3… in fact, a 5 would be impossible…</p>
<p>^Try reading through Princeton Review. I’ve only read one of the chapters (the last one, which covers the last four chapters of my book) to study for my Unit Test on Tuesday and its REALLY easy to read. Unlike my textbook, I can read through it really fast and it has more information condensed. </p>
<p>I’ve heard that Crash Course book is good too!</p>
<p>But I’d advise you to read through the summaries of the entire European History in one of the books before you take another practice test, and then use the practice test to gauge how far you came.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>(And PS. I’m worried about a 28 because… missing 10 out of 38 is never good!)</p>
<p>You have plenty of time, HollaAtMeSon. You have almost two weeks to review for it. Don’t get too worked up about it yet.</p>
<p>I, on the other hand, have only a little over a week to go through almost all of Ethel Wood’s guide before my Comparative Gov exam. And I still have to review for AP Calc and AP U.S. Gov too… haha</p>
<p>Yeah, I know. I just feel like I should already know all this with 2 weeks left :/. I’m reading as we speak. lol.</p>
<p>Good plan!</p>
<p>Haha me too (but for Comparative Gov).</p>
<p>I might be pulling an all-nighter to get through at least Russia, maybe China too. If I can be through Ethel Wood’s guide by the middle of the week I should be in pretty good shape to review and take practice tests (while still reviewing for my other APs).</p>
<p>By the way, let me know if you have any questions on the material, etc. and I’ll see if I can help! I loved AP Euro; best class ever. lol</p>
<p>Explain Lenin rule… kinda vague but important ideas would be helpful :0</p>
<p>Lenin’s rule as in his regime?</p>
<p>Vladimir Lenin was a dedicated Marxist (although he varied slightly from Marx’s original ideas) who believed in a worldwide revolt of the proletariat. He led the Bolshevik revolution in 1917 and established a Communist government in what soon became the Soviet Union.</p>
<p>He had a few major policies/etc., including New Economic Policy (NEP), dictatorship of the proletariat, and the establishment of the Cheka. Make sure you are somewhat familiar with these concepts, particularly the NEP.</p>
<p>If I remember right, Lenin and the Bolshevik revolution was actually a very small amount of the test - at least when I took it.</p>
