The AP World History Study Thread

<p>Definitely, on the PR test I got a 45/70, and on the released exam I got a 53/70. The PR one seemed a lot harder too, so don't worry.</p>

<p>The review books sometimes make the tests purposefully harder, so that when you take the REAL test it seems very easy. </p>

<p>The exception: Barron's Human Geo.</p>

<p>Nice, i also got a 45 on the PR test.</p>

<p>My friend got a 58 on the PR test!! he's a world history freak (aka my study partner! lol) I have yet to take the 2 practice tests this weekend!!</p>

<p>I got a 53-56/70 on Barrons yesterday, and when I took PR test last Monday, I got around a 47. So it seems to me that either PR is harder then Barrons, or that I have actually done better.</p>

<p>This is so overwhelming studying for this!!! I just have to not think about how much I'm actually studying.</p>

<p>On the cliffs practice test i got a 44/70.. but on practice tests my teacher gave me i scored much higher. I' m also relieved that the average essay score is like a 3. I am soooo relieved no ones getting like a 64/70. Gkilla2005, your friends a beast. LOL</p>

<p>on the PR test I scored a 50/70, but on the ones that my history teacher gives out, I only got a 23/70. He says his are "like the exam", but then he said that an APWH exam has never actually been released bc they haven't done it enough years... So i don't know. It is so overwhelming though!!</p>

<p>Q: What important event occured in Europe in the year 1517, and which name is most commonly associated with it?</p>

<p>Protestant reformation "starts". (Martin Luther gives a speech on the 95 Theses or gives it to the Catholic Church or something like that.)</p>

<p>He nailed the 95 (98?) theses to the door of the main catholic church.</p>

<p>Q: What name was given to the area of Russia during the Mongol rule?</p>

<p>Khanate of the Golden Horde</p>

<p>What was the common economic and political system between Japan and Europe before 1700?</p>

<p>The manorial system in Europe and feudal system in Japan</p>

<p>Wouldn't it be feudal system for both Europe and Japan? Because I would think that manoralism is a different category then feudal system, and manoralism was a large part about Europe.</p>

<p>I don't consider the system Europe had to be very "feudal" though... I think both systems are similar, and it's how they're used that is interesting. Japan developed literally on it's own because of their isolation policy, and Europe had all sorts of contact. Wouldn't the contact in itself defeat the idea of a feudal system?</p>

<p>feudal system=gov. form
manorial system=economic policy</p>

<p>i think.</p>

<p>A: Japan and Euro both w/ regionally divided areas. </p>

<p>Quote College Board: </p>

<p>"Q: Which of the following countries had the largest industrial capacity from 1000 CE - 1450 CE?
a. China
b. India
c. Russia
d. Western Europe
e. Japan "</p>

<p>{this question was on the 2003 released exam, I think}</p>

<p>A: D, Western Europe</p>

<p>No, it was China I believe, under the Sui Dynasty. They had iron production at levels comparable to England at its Industrial Revolution.</p>

<p>No...definitely China, remember Western Europe was feudal and very decentralized, and China was in the Song, then Mongol w/ Kublai Khan, and then with the Ming.</p>

<p>Song yes, ugg, why do I always get Sui and Song confused? Its probably because Sung is also Song, and Sung it like Sui. lol. :P</p>

<p>Question:</p>

<p>Who was the sailor and traveler for China?
People call him the Ibn Battuta of China.</p>
