So... my final exam is tomorrow, and I really can't believe it's already here.
Any tips on specific things to study? I'm feeling pretty good about the multiple choice.. I think I know random facts pretty well and am 100% confident of at least a 3 on that, feel a 4 is possible, and don't think a 5 is out of reach. If I get a 4 on that I'll be pretty satisfied. I've been taking a lot of online practice quizzes and such, and since all of those questions are taken from tests like these I'm not scared.
The DBQ is what scares me the most.. You have no choice on what you want to write about, and I'm just worried that I'll get some topic I don't know much about.
However, I'm feeling good about the FRQ's. I've really studied hard on the subject of slavery and the antebellum period and such, and I think that has to be at least one of the pre-Reconstruction choices. I'm not scared of the post-Reconstruction choices either.. but I can still touch up on stuff like that.
Any tips from people who have taken it before on here? What were some areas that were hit hard on the multiple choice / essays? Just wanted to see what others on here said, since I'm pretty sure at least some people have taken it.

I got a 2... I've heard it's considered the second hardest AP test.
The hardest part was the multiple choice, they go from the 1800s to the 1970s to the 1600s back to the 1920s so you can't really get your mind set on one time period. Also know your presidents and the general economic/social/political happenings in every decade. Last year we got extremely lucky on the DBQ it was on the Vietnam Conflict which we literally just studied. Also I wouldn't worry too much about it, you get documents on it which can spark your memory for a lot of things. The free response pre-Civil War (or however they're split) were hard too simply because we studied it in class so damn long ago, so I'd put some time in pre-1900s because a lot of stuff after that time period is easier to remember, you've studied it in class not as long ago and it's closer to our time period, and you can remember a lot of the time periods easier by what happened then i.e. WW1, WW2, Vietnam, Baby Boom, Great Depression, ect.
The reason I did so bad is I blew off most of the homework and never studied, you sound like you'll do just fine. History isn't my forte, I'm pretty confident in a 5 on the Calc AB test.
Lemme know if you have any other questions.

It doesn't really matter how hard it is since the scores are based on how well the entire test taking population does.
|
I got a 5 or a 4 I can't remember. The most important thing is to know the big events and the inventions of every time period. My 25 point essay questions were on rebellions in pre-colonial times (had to list 3 and explain what where why), on Jeffersonian Democrats, and my 50 point essay was on TECHNOLOGICAL/SOCIAL ADVANCEMENTS that helped prepare America for an industrial revolution. I nailed that essay but fucked up the rebellion one.
The multiple choice actually tends to go somewhat linearly from what I recall but of course it wasn't perfect. It was a safe bet that most of the questions in the end pertained to the mid-late 20th century though, for example.
|
My history teacher thinks the DBQ will be on the gilded age because college board likes to make questions that relate to the issues of today ie. the money crisis so you can take that or leave that. Last year it was Vietnam (when Iraq was a hot topic) so it probably won't be post WW2. I'm not really worried, on old AP tests I've been getting 67-70/80 so I feel pretty confident. I would definately check out APnotes.net, that site is awesome and if you have an Amsco book you should go thru that. If you just have the text, I would flip thru the book and make sure you understand/provide contextual information about the pictures. On the whole, its the most popular Ap Test so you'll have plenty of scrubs to fill the lower half of the curve. Have you taken over one year or two? If two then your already at an advantage! Gl hf!

I took it last year. The part that really screwed me was the first essay ... It was a choice between an essay on interactions between Native Americans and settlers, limited to the 1600s, and an essay on the market revolution. I had never heard of the market revolution, but neither did I know anything about interactions between Native Americans and settlers in the 1600s. I chose the second one hoping it was somewhat similar to the industrial revolution.
So in short, I wrote an essay on a revolution I had never heard of.
I ended up with a 4 ... I was hoping for a 5 but knew that wasn't gonna happen after that essay >_>
IIRC, the test is supposed to be half on pre-civil war and half on post-civil war. Considering not much happens until the 1770's, that's a pretty big focus on the pre-civil war era. Also, all obvious advice applies - sleep is invaluable. You can guess the answer to like half the mc questions even if you don't know the answer right off the bat - just think about time periods and chronology of events, etc. Common sense is your friend.
Best of luck.

I loved my American pageant book
:D

I got a 5 on it last year. It's an extremely easy AP, don't worry. My friend wrote one of his essays on Pocahontas(the Disney movie) and still got a 5. You'll be fine.
|
I'm not really concerned about tomorrow. I hope the essays don't fuck me over though.
|
i remember I got a 4 but it was mostly because my teacher printed out a baller study guide that pretty much covered everything we learned. There are a lot of these guides available online. Also don't stress about the essay question, you won't know what they are until you take the test. Just go over everything you've learned in that class and wing it. 3/4/5 makes no difference imo.
|
I got a 5 on it last year, make sure, first of all, that you do well on the multiple choice. Graders won't even read your essays if you bomb the multiple choice. For the essays, basicly spew out coherant information, but you must he able to connect it with the topic. For the DBQs, u needn't mention every one, attempt to connect them with your thesis, and don't forget to cite outside info. From what I've read, they want 50% of your info off the documents and the other 50% to be outside info.

oh my god, I took this exam in 2006 and I'm a history major and it was my strongest subject. but the DBQ was some women's shit in the 1700's, I ended up with a 4 some how though. AP tests never really seemed hard for some reason. Although, BC calc was a real bitch cause my AB teacher was awesome and my BC teacher blew(AB subscore:5, BC subscore:1 = 2, gg).
|
Don't worry about the DBQ. In my opinion, the best way to approach it is to think of it as a free response question.
Read the question (and only the question), formulate a topic/stance/argument and flesh out your ideas/evidence, then read through the documents to remind you of stuff you may have forgotten and clarify your argument.
And IMO the DBQ is the easiest of the essays, mostly because it's just a regular Free Response but with primary documents all laid out in front of you to guide and help you.

Can someone tell me if this is actually true? From my understanding you were given your score based on how well YOU did just like a regular percentage, but since a 5 is still like 60% they give it to you in another form.

Depending on the national average, the College board will curve scores up or something to raise more people to a 3 or something.

They do the grading based on a normal model, in theory you could get one question right on the whole test and still get a 5 as long as everyone else got 0. On average, 60-70% correct will get you a 5 based on the previous AP test outcomes but by itself, your score is meaningless, only in the context of the population does it matter.

wtf multiple choice history exam? Lucky, I have to write 100% essays :[

I got a 4, 5 years ago. Yeah the DBQ is totally random, I am pretty sure I rocked the multiple choice and the stupid DBQ screwed me.

Trust me man, the AP history exam is freaking difficult as all hell. You'll be hard pressed to find even a teacher that can score a five on that POS. The DBQ alone is nearly guaranteed to drop you down a whole number point unless you're really good at them.
As for most difficult AP exam? I found chemistry to be extraordinarily difficult and I don't suck at chemistry. I got a 5 on it but it nearly burned my brain out in the process.
Calculus BC(The class) was also extremely difficult. Getting a 5 on that required you only get about 40% correct. I didn't find the test so bad but other people do.
So general consensus is roughly
1-tie -> BC Calculus/Chemistry
3-tie -> Physics C/Any History
5-tie -> foreign languages.
It also depends HIGHLY on the teacher you get in high school. I was lucky enough to have freaking insane geniuses for US history and BC calculus so I was able to get a 5 on both of those because the teacher was so awesome.
I had to study my ASS off for chemistry though because the teacher was awful.

I don't think the DBQ will be much of a problem. Usually, the documents only allude to events and then u can cram in a lot of outside info. On multiple choice, they love to ask about the same things over and over again (Dawes Severalty Act, WWI/WWII stuff, cause of great depression, transcendentalist authors (waldo emerson), the "lost generation" of authors, cause of american revolution, compromise of 1850, and missouri compromise, to list some)
I'm worried about the FRE's too, however. I hope its something easy.

At our school, they say latin is the hardest AP exam. Hardly anyone passes at our school.
Computer Science AB i heard is pretty challenging too, but college board is going to ax that because they aren't earning enough money, i mean "not enough students are taking it" cough cough.
|
IMO the math and science APs are incredibly easy, especially given how they curve it
...that being said, i don't want to jinx the physics c ap on monday
it's all based on how well you've been prepared for it, though
the vast majority of my friends thought the chem AP was a joke, but comparatively tanked on the english AP
personally, i think english and the foreign languages are harder than u.s. history

Really? Latin is regarded as among the easiest at my school. The prep books for latin are extremely good, too. (comparatively speaking to the other languages)
I would argue Chinese is the hardest

lol, I had a 5 on US history.
Ask me now, and I can't even remember the teapot dome scandal or even 15 presidents.
LOLllllllllllll... T.T
Fuck.

i took ap us in my junior year, i didnt do shit all year because my school had some deal where if you pass the ap exam you get an autoamtic A so in the last two weeks i crammed my ass off and got a 4 lolwned.

They grade AP exams based on how other people preform and because of the curve if you answered around 40% right you got a five... unless i'm missing something GLARING or im reading something wrong.
Made it's 40% got a 5? I.. don't know.

yeah, some of my friends are saying that the latin MC section alone would nearly give them a 5
i heard that spanish, french, and CS AB were hard as well, but it might just be due to shitty teachers

what year did you take chemistry? i took it last year and it was probably the easiest test i have ever taken... and on physics c e&m you need 50% right to get a 5 on the mc... so it's pretty difficult i suppose.

Oh sweet i get to take my AP European History exam tomorrow as well oh the joy.

Good luck bro, but I didn't think it was that hard, its just a lot of material to know. Other than that, its fairly straightforward.
I just took my AP Government and AP Literature exams this week. Government was easier than I thought and AP Literature was about the same, excluding the FRQs. I hate writing based on analysis ><

The absolute worst high schools are in the great plains states. My teacher finished every single course his high school in Kansas had by junior year, so he went to college 1 year early. He never graduated high school but has a MBA from Harvard o.O.

i found the english language test to be challenging.
5 and 3 respectively

I suck so bad at writing essays -_-

...I took my APs (14 total) about 4-5 years ago, none of them were hard, at least ones I paid attention in class for. AP Psychology was total BS for me rofl, AP CS I was weird since nobody writes code out by hand anymore. AP Chem and Calc were like hai-memorize-how-to-do-problems-prz. AP English Lit, I didn't give shit about because no college takes that seriously (because there is no general consensus about it in the first place and why that class even exists is beyond me).
AP US History and European History for the DBQs and Open Response is very formulaic responding. If you did a fair amount of studying and/or paid attention in class, for any given question/document, you should be able to branch 3 things from when your brainstorm. The key thing a lot of people forget is perspective, as in who's POV you are referring to.

Hope you guys all did well.. so long to that DBQ being about the Gilded Age btw 
How do you guys think you did? I'm feeling good about the DBQ and first FRQ (I did British policies), but my second FRQ (Japanese and African Americans at home) was absolutely terrible
|
Yeah, same here, I did the same essays as you. I bsed alot about the African Americans and stuff like how their civil rights were delayed and the Japanese is just about their discrimination after Pearl Harbor, being forced into camps with no actual back up info.
|
well, it was lot easier than i though, especially the essays. But nobody told me they took points off for wrong answers. well, it doesn't really matter for me anyways since im taking IB.
Anyone here also take IB?

everyone did #2 and #5, with japanese and blacks for #5.
and yeah, it was a lot easier than i thought it would be.

Everyone where I took it did #2 and #5, but the majority of the kids I've talked to didn't know anything about African Americans. I did 2 and 5 and talked about japanese and blacks.
What the hell was with that map of a village. Seriously, how was I supposed to know if it was colonial virginia or colonial NE? I put NE, but it was a guess.

in virginia it probably would have had tobacco etc
for blacks i talked about the great migration and shit like that

Yeah, I did 2 & 5 too. One of my friends did 2 & 4 and we called him a commie for like 20 minutes every time he said something.

holy fuck. i just took ap euro
if ap euro was that fucking hard....

i've heard euro is harder than us

What about that picture early on in the test where there were a bunch of women and stuff? I have no clue what I put for the answer

Euro wasn't hard at all for me in sophomore year. I got a pretty easy 5.

For the DBQ, did any of you talk about how geography was the difference between African Americans gaining freedom and the expansion of slavery? (North vs south) And when was the Manifest Destiny, b/c I talked somewhat about it for a document.

yeah, i talked about the northwest ordinance and the missouri compromise and about banning slavery in new states in the north as well as northern states beginning to pass laws banning in their states. i'm not sure if manifest destiny was in the time period though, i think it was 1830s or 1840s.

But being relatively easy means that it will be graded harder right?
And I just realized I didn't even mention the Great Awakening...
EDIT: I meant since people (I know) seems to think that this AP was particularly easy.

Wow, that DBQ gave it to me hard. 1775-1830 for slavery...thats crap. The time period where people were like hey, lets not talk about slavery. I didn't even know the number of free slave's increased, I attributed that to natural population growth and the general disgard for what passed as the fugitive slave law. Same for the the slave population, I mean jesus christ how else would you attribute it, slaves stopped being imported in 1808 (give or take a year). It expanded cause in a growing agricultural based society, more people want more land to export more shit to make more money to do this they needed to rely heavier on slave power. P,lus the expansion of tech blah blah blah. And really, how did free blacks deal with a Northern society that didn't want to compete with them, I have no idea! I know people were like shit, I don't really like blacks as individuals, lets come up with bullshit schemes to fuck em over I just presume blacks were like this shit is really gay but we're an oppressed minority so we're fucked. Christ, I've never been so blindsided on a test in my life. Killed the multiple choice, brutalized 3,4 (don't ask me why but I know unions... like scarily well) but that DBQ fisted me. *sigh

I took this test last year. Right before we took the test, my teacher said, "after the test, we are going to review the vietnam war extensively." The DBQ was on Vietnam War.
I ended up getting a 4 without studying. But thats because I like history.
