World History-Let's Study

<p>Anyone taking the world history ap test this year? Ask stuff on this thread.
Any predictions for the essays?
I'm still working on learning 1914-present day stuff right now ;/</p>

<p>I'm still working on learning....
the whole ten thousand years. -sigh- My teacher sucks, in unimaginable ways.
But, yep, I'm taking it.</p>

<p>My teacher expects Islam to be one of the essays; its very topical, hasn't been on an essay in years.</p>

<p>Hi guys,</p>

<p>I am taking the AP World History exam this week too. I've been getting low to mid 50s on the MC section, is this good enough for a 5?</p>

<p>Assuming an average score of 5 for your essays, a 55 on the MC would barely be enough for a 5. However, if you know that you will do better than a 5 on the essays, then yes, it will put you squarely in 5 territory. </p>

<p>Does anyone know where to get sample responses to DBQs? For some reason, I'm having the hardest time trying to figure out exactly what DBQ graders want (I have the tendency of spending way too much time on the DBQs).</p>

<p>To ajkcorner1,</p>

<p>Acronyms to the Rescue!</p>

<p>Just remember this: TUESday The PGA is Outside</p>

<p>T - Thesis Statement
U - Uses all Documents
E - Evidence to Support Thesis
S - Shows understanding of documents
P - Point of View of the author of each document/how it is significant
G - Global Context (What else was going on in the world at this time?)
A - Additional Document (What kinds of documents would you WISH you had to include in your essay? Usually a unique Point of View; mention what you would want in your conclusion)
O - Outside Information - pretty important</p>

<p>If the acronym helps, great. If it doesn't...at least you can study from what the letters mean! :D</p>

<p>Helped me get a 5, anyway!</p>

<p>Im more worried about the comparitive and change over time essays. what if it is something COMPLETELY RANDOM! ugh at least you have everything in front of you for the dbq</p>

<p>I'm like you vin09--'cept I've never done a compare or COT essay before. I'm afraid they might be something I know nothing about.</p>

<p>Thanks omega!</p>

<p>2 more days till the test!</p>
