<p>Omg skateme, we’re like HG twins!!! I used the same two examples for the bulk-reducing/bulk-gaining industries.</p>
<p>I used Panama and its canal for economic development for FRQ 2. Is that good? I feel like that was the simplest one yet I had no good examples.</p>
<p>lol Panama is iffy because the US controlled the canal until the late 1970s, but even then, it didn’t truly bind Panama together unless you mentioned something like, “they rallied together to get control.” It all depends on your explanation. What did you put?</p>
<p>I used Brasilia too xD.</p>
<p>What were some bulk-gaining industries? I put tires because I thought I saw it somewhere in Barrons, but I’m not sure =/. For bulk-reducing industries, logging was a safe bet. </p>
<p>For transportation infrastructure, I used Nepal as an example, as it can’t reach some of its population. I also used the Congo, as the jungle blocks people from coming together. Do you think it’ll be okay?</p>
<p>For bulk-gaining I said the furniture industry.</p>
<p>I didn’t talk about bulk-reducing/gaining at all. Haha is that bad?
I did, however, talk about wood [furniture] and silicon</p>
<p>Nahh my Panama example was clearly lacking. Ehh its alright, that’s just one point right?</p>
<p>And did nobody else use the US for transportation infrastructure? Like how the advent of the automobile and the lack of public transportation within many great cities led to “white flight” and segregation through suburbanization, serving as a centrifugal force. I thought that was the obvious one (especially given the post 1950s time frame)</p>
<p>I wish. I think that would definitely work though.</p>
<p>Dang. Yeah, definitely did not think of that. That sounds really good. I just have to hope mine works too.</p>
<p>Yes, I actually used a lot of US History and Civics information for a majority of the FRQs. For some reason, I remember tires as bulk-gaining too Isurus. What do you guys think?</p>
<p>1A - Tires
1B - Logging
1C - material based -> easier to move corn products then corn</p>
<p>2A1 - positive economic growth -> strong support of govt -> centripetal patriotism (gogo awesome BS :D)
2A2 - left blank
2B1 - Balkanization
2B2 - transportation -> more area to govern -> weaker central government/stronger regional governments</p>
<p>3A - A: stage 2/3, high birth rate primary/secondary economic activities. B: stage 3/4, low birth and death rate, industrialized/service based economy
3B - Young, strong workforce for active-based occupations. Perfect agerange for service based jobs/stagnant amount of jobs
3C - Plethora of young making jobs scarce. Increasing dependency ratio/strain on youth</p>
<p>MasterTTP: On FRQ number two you had to provide contemporary examples.
Also guys, for the bulk gaining industry I wrote soda, because it gains weight as water is added to the syrup when the soda reaches the market. Is this correct?</p>
<p>Yup.</p>
<p>10char</p>
<p>What I put:
1A Weight-gaining industries; Example = Furniture</p>
<p>1B Weight-losing industries; Example = Fishery</p>
<p>1C Weberian Theory of Industrial Location; The ethanol plants are near the natural resource to reduce transportation costs, and is a weight-losing industry.</p>
<p>2 Haha; No Idea</p>
<p>3A Country A = Stage 1, developing country, Example = Sierra Leone/ Philippines
Country B = Stage 3 or 4, very developed country, Example = US/ Germany</p>
<p>3B Strong level of workers for unskilled labor
Strong level of workers for skilled/service labor</p>
<p>3C Too many workers may cause strain on job availability
Too many dependents in coming years and strain on rest of population</p>
<p>took the late test. it was very easy, only a couple questions were random. but not difficult through contextual evidence. </p>
<p>how does the essay work? can you get partial credit for like A-3? and how does the essay work points wise because i heard you need a 70-80/120 for a 5?</p>
<p>What were the FRQs like on the late test? The normal test FRQs were really easy. Yes you may receive partial credit on the FRQ. The eassy is 50% of your grade and each section of every question is at least a point.</p>
<p>^ You’re never supposed to discuss FRQ’s on the late test.</p>
<p>Yea, I didn’t realize the word contemporary was there. Haha, owned.</p>
<p>i understand its 50/50 but basically what is the minimum for a 5?</p>
<p>i know i cant discuss the late test either(frq or mc i believe).</p>
<p>i have to say this was a pretty interesting and fun subject to self study though.</p>
<p>I took the class and I’m 100% sure I made above a 3, I think most likely I made a 5. I’m a freshman, so this was my first AP really. Doing Biology, Spanish Lang, and World History next year. Human Geo actually also has the lowest mean score of any exam!</p>
<p>Ya, I don’t see how. I mean just look at the 2006 curve:
70/120(58%)
54/120(45%)
39/120(33%)</p>
<p>What an easy curve!!</p>
<p>Hey puggly123, does that mean that if you got 54 points composite they raise it by 45%…I believe I got between 60 and 70 points composite. I killed the FRQ (got at least 90% of possible points) and got about 50 MCs right and 24 wrong. Left one blank. I’m thinking it’s either a 4 or 5.</p>
