The AP Exam... or something like that
To sum up how the AP exam went in a few words: What was that? My immediate opinion is that it is supposed to test knowledge of world history, not the ability to find the biases of an author and then ASSUME what they meant, I finished MCAS last year and I would have perferred not go back to opinion-based questions. After the test, my brain was melting out of my ears, and I don't think I have ever hand-written 10 1/2 pages in that little time in my life. The MC questions were deffinatly the harder of the two sections, with many of the questions ending in "Welp... haven't used B in a while." As far as the review goes, I think (judging by the disribution of material) we should focus on the fall of empires and the government systems more, and continue to analyze patterns throughout history, which I found helped alot on the exam. The snacks were wonderful, what a gesture! The essays... well let's not go there. They were easy, although the C/C was hard to find differences (I mean, really), the COT was a piece-o-cake (at least I think, maybe I bombed it... who knows) and the DBQ was, as always, a DBQ. Other than that, it was an experience I am excited I only have to handle once, and a 3 or above would be fantastic, although after that MC section I don't really know who optimistic that is... my head was too numb to make heads or tails after the exam. To finish... done with the AP exam and thrilled about it.
