<p>well at least it was only one sentence. i doubt its gonna kill my grade. it was an event that affected the society and changed the outlook of that sociey from the world point of view. it was a change throughout the time tho! heheh</p>
<p>The MC were easier than I thought, some of the questions were a little random though, made me go ***...</p>
<p>The essays though... I totally failed the second one, I couldn't think of anything the one two of the options... (and I can't even remember what the third place was...). So I got like a 2 maybe. The DBQ was fun though, got that, and same with last one... So I'm hoping for a three, considering I bombed the essay... Is that horrible?</p>
<p>oh if you only did bad on one essay im sure you did better than a 3. if you had a perfect multiple choice you could leave your essays blank and get a 3. so one bad essay wont kill your grade.</p>
<p>That's a relief, Although I know I wasn't perfect on the MC.</p>
<p>i thougth it was same um..like word roots or wtv you call it.</p>
<p>... So I've taken the time to see what kind of scores you would need in order to at least get a 3 on the AP World History Exam, TOMORROW. Based on scores in the past and stuff, if you get a... let's say 35/70 right on the Multiple choice, a 3, 4, and a 4 on the DBQ, COT, and CAC you'll pretty much get a 3 on the test. </p>
<p>So yeah, tomorrow is the BIG DAY... how is everyone feeling about the test?! I'm sooo Psyched, I think I'll get a 5, minimum 4.</p>
<p>At least tomorrow will be gone the day after it.</p>
<p>:-)</p>
<p>you seem a little bit overconfident there Charlemagne.</p>
<p>so like what score do u need RAW (including .25 off for each wrong answer) on the multiple choice out of 70?? i need to know so i can decide how many i should leave blank and guess on</p>
<p>Bit late but whatever.</p>
<p>Way I see it, there's never a point to guessing if you have no clue. If you know that some of the answers aren't right, then you're not guessing, you're making an educated estimation. ^_^</p>
<p>this thread is a year old lol... how did anyone find it</p>
<p>searching i guess. haha reading my old answers from last year.....i realized that i have forgotten EVERYTHING about this class.</p>
<p>will I be prepared to take world history AP test if I just take regular world history class?</p>
<p>you would probably have to study a review book.</p>
<p>I'm scared, I haven't studied nearly as much as I wanted (needed) to.</p>
<p>My class this year was pretty rigorous so I fell I'm prepared. Just gotta memorize the cores for the FRQs and I'm good to go. I'll probably read a bit of Barrons the week before to refresh my memory though.</p>
<p>im using PR as a refresher</p>
<p>Anyone know if PR or Barrons are similar to the real tests? </p>
<p>In any case, I need to keep reviewing for WH. Anyone want to do the Q&A thing that they were doing at the beginning of the thread (years ago)?</p>
<p>People consider PR harder than the actual test. I don't know about Barrons.</p>
<p>i took this ap test last year and got a five. here are some things i want to clear up:</p>
<p>1) it's not that bad. if you paid attention in class and took decent notes, you should be fine. If not, don't even study: you're hopeless.
2) you can't self study and get a five. you'll get crushed on the essay. unless you're amazingly efficient at writing essays.
3) Don't just memorize details; you have to apply them too. You won't find questions like "Who was Machiavelli?" Rather, they'll give you a quote or a famous event and have you identify who it's associated with.
4) When writing the essay, dates can make or break your grade: if you don't know that he lightbulb was invented in 1879, just write the late 19th century. However, if you can hit the nail on the head, that'll look really good. This goes the same for geography.
5) You can somewhat BS your way through the DBQ, but do not, i repeat, do not, rant through the two other ones. You will get creamed, i repeat, creamed, for inaccurate information.
6) write neatly and concisely. Redundant material is boring and detrimental to your essay. Also, don't use sophisticated words if you don't know what they mean, that's just noob.
Here are some helpful words you should use though:
verbs- impede, spur, advocate, preclude, precipitate, ramified, instill, highlight, epitomize
nouns- impetus, ramifications, apex, influence,
adjectives- indelible, thorny, affluent, detrimental, controversial, expedient
*conjunctions- although, however, despite, nonwithstanding, nevertheless, yet, unlike, in contrast, similarly, but, etc.
idioms (they're fun but not necessary, be careful when using these, make sure you know how to use them effectively)- by the same token, the flip side of the coin, throw down the gauntlet, put the cart before the horse, make brick without the straws, etc.</p>
<p>That's all i can think of right now. Questions? pm me</p>
<p>I disagree somewhat with Luber43's post about self-study. My AP World teacher last year was a total joke, and 10 out of 13 people didn't pass it. However, I studied PR day in and day out for two weeks or so before the exam, and I got a 5. </p>
<p>The history AP exams are special in the sense that all you have to know are the facts. In AP English Language, for example, memorizing hardly gets you anywhere. If you aren't good at memorizing things, you probably won't do well on this exam. So try and memorize as much as you can, but keep in mind the overall picture and the themes.</p>
<p>Also, make sure you spend the most time on the DBQ. This is where you can rack up the most points because it's so easy to get bonus points on this section. The two easiest options for bonus points are (1) analyzing all the documents and (2) suggesting an additional document. Remember that you have to get all 7 points before you can get the extra two, but it shouldn't be too hard to get the seven if you know what you need to write.</p>
<p>Take a deep breath. This exam is not as hard and you think it will be. I took PR practice tests and got 60% correct and managed a five. Once you take the exam, you will be surprised at how much you know.</p>
