<p>For those of you who have taken AP Art history, were there any slide pictures which you did not cover in class, or in your experience were all the slides covered?
For those who hadn’t had the slide pictures covered in class, how did you cope and what did you get on the exam?
BTW does anyone know the curve for a 5 on the exam(the raw score needed)?
Thanks</p>
<p>There were a few slides we hadn’t covered in class (2005-2006). One was a fur covered plate/bowl thing, but a friend in another school covered it in her class. Then there was a Vermeer, that I got since I studied him before I actually took the class (I like his work), and I recognized his style (the question was to identify the work with an artist because of the similarities with another work). But, as for the bowl one, I made some stuff up and ended up being totally incorrect, maybe got a couple points. </p>
<p>Overall I felt very prepared, the MC took me offguard because there was way more non-European art than I expected and it was very detailed. </p>
<p>I got a 4, I know I didn’t do my best because during the test they were replacing the roof above my classroom and it was impossible to concentrate. I probably should have complained about it, but whatever. I’m sure the exam was easier if one could concentrate =). If you have a good teacher you should be good. I don’t really know anything about the curve. They might have something like that on collegeboard if you haven’t checked it yet.</p>
<p>There were a lot of slides that were not covered that were on the AP exam. I got a 3.</p>
<p>does anybody have a general idea what the MC curve is? like what % do you need to get right to get a 3/4/5?</p>
<p>this class is so pointless…I’m in it and I am barely getting a B- because it’s so stupid to memorize all the slides/names of artists…I shouldn’t have taken this class.</p>
<p>Thought it would be an easy A. but no, you have to listen to your boring teacher talk about stupid hundred-year-old art in stupid slide shows that take forever to end.</p>
<p>Is it easy to self-study? I really like Art and go to musems frequently and was wondering about self-studying it.</p>
<p>if u like the subject, then you would definitely find it interesting</p>
<p>Someone told me it would be very hard to self study, especially in a semester, because of all of the slides/info you need to know. I did an Art History independent study, which sounds so much more interesting.</p>
<p>self studying is sorta difficult
i mean i took it and got a 5 but if yur gonna self study
the book i recommend to do hard reading is Gardner’s 10 or 11th edition
Art through the Ages.
The major thing is to really understand the movements and what major aspect they had</p>
<p>I got a 2 on the exam, which didn’t surprise me. It was my eating and sleeping class; we didn’t learn much at all. I tried to self study before the exam, but it did not help any. There were slides I had never seen before on the test, such as the fur bowl LifeUnfolding mentioned. They will purposely put a few slides you probably have never seen to see what you know versus what you have simply memorized. I would suggest getting a book to help review, but I wouldn’t stress too much on this exam. I think you either know the different periods and styles or you don’t.</p>
<p>ok, here is my question, where can you get access to any of these slides or anything that can be tested online? please help me?
Also how good is the anotated mona lisa book for the ap test, could you even get a 3 with only that book???</p>
