AP European History exam?

Question

Friday is my first ever AP exam and I am freaking out. I'm aiming for at least a 4 but I'm not sure that's going to happen. I need a way to remember all this information! We took a practice multiple choice and I got 42/80 right...but my main concern are the two FRQ's because I am just not confident that there will be one in each catagory that I know enough to write an entire paper on. I know to study, study, study but that is not going to embed everyone's name and what they did and I get the wars all mixed up...ugh. If anyone who has previously taken the test could help so that I know what to expect, that would be great.

Answer 1

There are 2 sections of FRQ, one that is pre industrial revolution, the other is after. They have out of 6/7 years asked one FRQ about post WWII era. (last year was the exception, i was quite mad.) There are definately going to be questions on french revolution, industrial revolution, and the agricultural revolution. (these are the things my euro class concentrated last year, and thankfully, the I. rev and A. rev was on the FRQ)



the question didnt follow the chronological order (like #1 starts in 1200, then #8 deals with 1900, then #9 goes back to dealing with 1200), its more of a general order now. question 1-10 deals with 1200s, and 70-80 deals with WWII and after, and only few times a question will be out of order. (like #68 dealing with the 1300s)



My euro teacher figured out that u need a D (68% of the MC question correct, and 6/9 points each on the FRQ and DBQ correct to get a 5, 53% and 6/9 for a 4) and for DBQ, u cannot follow the direction given. that only get u a 5/9, u must use almost all ur sources, provide quotes, insight, grammatically correct
