<p>Yes, aquamarina, you are the only one. I hope you’re okay with that. Just kidding. I’m lightly freaking out, but since I’m pretty sure i got 5’s on my first 2 AP exams, I’m sure this one won’t be any different. I just need to review a little I guess and take a few more practice tests.</p>
<p>Aquamarina: I believe South Africa is industrialized, so it would be more better off. I can’t think of any reasons though, except for diamonds. But that’s in Sierra Leon, which is in West Africa XD</p>
<p>I am also freaking out. Look at page 6 and help me out :)</p>
<p>skateme- What did you get on the exam?</p>
<p>5</p>
<p>10charchar</p>
<p>S.Africa also experienced Apartheid, which i am sure caused an effect on the economy and general mindset of the country in cultural and economic development.</p>
<p>I don’t think Apartheid had anything to do with S. Africa becoming industrialized or caused much of an effect on the economy. If I remember correctly, Apartheid refers to South Africa being segregated, right? </p>
<p>And good job skateme. I wish I would’ve known what ap exams were my freshman year.</p>
<p>Yes it does, but deep done inside, I’m sure it played a role 
P.S. Don’t actually listen to me, i’m not taking this test… this just proves to show that if i took it tomorrow, i could probably get like a 2 or 3.</p>
<p>I think apartheid does, doesn’t it make the rich more rich and the poor more poor…and its effects are still vibrant today, so S. Africa is like a country of 2 completely different worlds.
Let’s study guys:
Here is a question in the practice exam I picked at random:
Umm, never mind, I can’t copy and paste since the pdf file is secured…
Any one knows a good question-and-review site?</p>
<p>Also, I am going to cram/review for this (I read the Barron once) starting tomorrow…do you think I could make it?</p>
<p>Haha, when I said those countries, I was just saying those for examples, you didn’t have to pick those exact ones xD.</p>
<p>I think everybody got the gist of it. What I was thinking: In India, the British had set up some industries, not too many, but more than in other countries. Also, India had a huge labor pool, so that’s why it’s growth is pretty high. In S. Africa, the British didn’t directly control it (more busy with India), and so let the industries grow by themselves (slowly). However, S. Africa got more freedom before India, so it had time to develop those as well. It’s doing okay right now. For the Kongo and Nigeria, their colonial days were concentrated on the slave trade, so the economy never developed. The United States… yeah. </p>
<p>Ummm… What is the difference between forced and voluntary migration, and name 3 examples of each. Zionism to Israel - is it forced or voluntary? Can one movement be both, depending on the sources of migration? Discuss.</p>
<p>Wouldn’t it be because the the British had highly developed infrastructure in their colonies, developed much more than the other colonizers, which is why these places thrived? For example, railroads in India, previously constructed mines in Africa; so it didn’t take a whole lot of capital to start off fresh for these countries</p>
<p>Make sense?</p>
<p>Alright, took my other 5. Time to actually study this and be done with APs until next May.</p>

Make sense. Other British colonies in Africa: they didn’t thrive and the economy is bad right now plus political stability. The British did not build any infrastructure in those places (I think). They just extract resources (natural + labor) from those places.
But let’s talk theoretically, even if the British did build some infrastructure in those countries during their colonization, do you think those places still result in what they are today?</p>
<p>I think the difference between the African/Indian colonies and the U.S. colony was that Britain just extracted resources in Africa/India without building much infrastructure and investing in the country while the U.S. was never really a colony under direct control of the British (read Salutary neglect), so it was able to thrive and build itself up as an independent nation much earlier than the other British colonies were.</p>
<p>edit: the British did build some infrastructure in India and even some in Africa, but most of it was built to help Britain, not the colonies themselves.</p>
<p>Wait I thought the British did build infrastructure in India but not in Africa…
Let’s move on to another question:
Let’s talk about the Industrial Revolution and its impacts/history:</p>
<p>I’ve heard that Princeton Review is the company that actually makes the test? Is this true?</p>
<p>^idts, im pretty sure ETS makes all of them.</p>
<p>Sorry, ETS being??</p>
<p>Educational Testing Service, or something like that. I think they hire like high school teachers in each subject to make the APs. They make the SATs too I think.</p>
<p>Oh, okay. Thanks.
Does anyone know if the practice tests in Barrons or PR or more similar to the actual exam?</p>
<p>They’re both good I think.</p>
<p>Can we go back to asking and answering questions? The thread seems to have digressed. I’ll start it up again: </p>
<p>Differentiate between the sector, concentric zone, and the multiple nuclei models of urban layout.</p>
