[AP</a> Central - The AP World History Exam](<a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board)</p>

<p>so tired… still studying. PR is way too general. i went to [The</a> Earth and Its Peoples, 4th Edition Outlines | Course-Notes.Org - Outlines, Notes, Vocabulary, Essays, DBQs, Practice Quizzes and much more!](<a href=“http://www.course-notes.org/World_History/Outlines/The_Earth_and_Its_Peoples_4th_Edition_Outlines]The”>The Earth and Its Peoples, 4th Edition Outlines | CourseNotes) to read the outlines from my APWH textbook. It’s shorter than reading PR.</p>

<p>Going to sleep when I’m done with Chap. 10 Outline. Then wake up at 4 a.m. :(</p>

<p>TOOK IT!!! (GMT+7)
MC was A LOT easier than Barron’s or PR’s, though there were some questions that I havent seen before from the review books (I self studied)
FRQ was reasonable, quite open ended compare to the released FRQs form past years. was easy enough for me to write 17 pages for the 3 essays… and I’m not close to an English nerd by CC standards.</p>

<p>good luck guys, it’s not as tough as you think.</p>

<p>Took the exam. MCQs were pretty easy. DBQ wasn’t hard either. Change Over Time and Comparative were tough for me, initially. Like, I panicked hard. But I think I mixed a good amount of knowledge with BS that I think I can get like, 4’s or 5’s on those two. Hoping for a score of at least a 7 on the DBQ. I think I could get a 4 on the AP exam for sure. 5 will be tough, but not impossible. These essays are mechanical, so just satisfying the criteria for points is good enough technically. The quality of the essays don’t matter as much. It’s a positive system. They want to reward you as many points as they can. Mentioned a similarity? Check. Mentioned a difference? Mentioned all docs? Check. Mentioned a change and continuity? Check. So, I think there’s a very good chance of me getting a 4 or a 5 on the exam.</p>

<p>Finished an hour ago. Did not study at all. MC was pretty easy. Skipped a few, but the rest I narrowed it down to 2 answer choices most of the time. DBQ was simple enough. BSed the CCOT, but I’m sure I’ll receive a few points. Wasn’t too comfortable with the CC, but hopefully I’ll get at least a few points. Personally, I skipped a lot of chapters and did not want to study so I did not care at all. Seeing how much easier it was, I’m hoping for a 4 now.</p>

<p>Does anybody know the scoring scale for World History?</p>

<p>DBQ and Comp essays were little too tough. MC was so easy.</p>

<p>I took it too. The MC was really easy and the DBQ was (don’t know how that could be hard) but the Change and Continuity was odd because I felt that it was more like a comparison essay rather than a CAC. Some parts of the Comparison was weird but it was better than the CAC for the most part.</p>

<p>I thought the entire test was easy, thanks because of the PR AP World History review book. Best part was that, I killed the MC by finishing in half the time.</p>

<p>Multiple choice was overall pretty easy, though it was tougher than the released 2007 version. DBQ wasn’t too bad but I thought the CCOT and the comparative were much harder than previous years.</p>

<p>Agreed MC was pretty easy… quite a bit easier than the PR practice test, and I got a five on that. So, I’m feeling pretty confident.</p>

<p>I def rushed it a little bit thinking I wouldn’t have time to finish, but then I still had ten minutes left after checking it over twice. haha.</p>

<p>Yeah. MC was fairly easy. I had 20 minutes left and I used that to check it again. </p>

<p>DBQ and COT were really easy. However all i have to say is Compare and Contrast=w.t.f. I was able to bs it but still…</p>

<p>multiple choice was great.
but damn, the compare and contrast was horrible for me.</p>

<p>Do you know what your score would be if you skipped the comparative essay, but you think you did really well on the multiple choice and the other two essays, the change over time and the dbq.</p>

<p>MCs were really easy. Dbq was a blessing because that’s the exact essay our teacher went over last night! The COT was very long for me cause it well it was a long time period. The second essay was easy but that’s cause I already took AP American. I’m feeling possibly a 5!</p>

<p>Well that was a very weird experience. I am self studying WH with PR.</p>

<p>If it wasn’t for American and Euro history along with regular and comparative gov. It would have been a slaughter.</p>

<p>Multiple Choice = ridiculously easy
DBQ = ridiculously easy
CCOT = easy, but it required thinking b/c the question said “interactions ALONG the Silk Roads,” so you had to discuss those changes and continuities
C/C = it was okay – I messed up by not mentioning the Creoles, Peninsulares, etc. b/c I focused on the Haitian and Latin American Revolutions and how they led to anti-slavery laws in Europe…for North American I was thrown off because the time period ended in 1830–so I couldn’t mention the whole civil war ordeal…but I thought it was easy.</p>

<p>the mc wasn’t bad at all, all the questions were fair.
the frq werent too bad either, the dbq was alright, except for a couple documents
for the COT and CC i just pulled stuff out of my behind, for the most part at least.
im hoping for a 3.
2 if im unlucky, 4 if im lucky.</p>

<p>LOL.</p>

<p>DBQ was the same one as the Euro History essay, just from the opposite position.</p>

<p>So easy.</p>
