[ g u i d e ] - whap 0.1 

This is the 1st part (intro) of a 5 part series in conjunction with ap euro. I will list the rest as I finish them, please follow + reblog as the 2017 exam is different from past years (most of my knowledge stems from ap euro which implemented these changes last year + follow the same format/rubrics along with apush)

from college board (x) the given course description is surprisingly useful - i'll go in depth in a later post  

  [ test format ] 

Section I    

Part A: Multiple Choice | 55 Questions, 55 Min | 40%                 

in sets of 2 to 5 based on a stimulus (primary, secondary source, pictures, graphs, maps, etc)    

Part B: Short Answer | 4 Questions, 50 Min | 20% 

Questions provide opportunities for students to explain the historical examples that they know best.

Some include texts, images, graphs, or maps.

Section II

Part A: Document Based | 1 Question, 55 Min (include 15-min reading period) | 25%

Analyze and synthesize historical data.

Assess written, quantitative, or visual materials as historical evidence.

[ summer prep ]

for when you happen to be bored + want to get ahead. videos are great to get an idea of what to expect. do your summer homework if applicable. crashcourse is a given but there’s another amazing channel.

[ prep books ]

i recommend buying these over the summer // when school starts so that you can use them as you study for unit tests. please check to buy 2016 as older prep books will contain the information but not the correct essay rubrics. 

kaplan: (x) not too bad but i didn’t really use it as much

5 steps to a 5: (x) bit more concise + to the point, thin book so excellent if you don’t want to lug heavy books around 

rea crash course: (x) overall favourite, it’s a smaller book but in outline form + organised by themes; not many people talk about it but it’s great!

[ final thoughts ]

compared to the older format, the new test is harder (ap euro killed) - the multiple choice questions are completely different, new short answers, new long essay that include 4 different types, and a harder DBQ. 

this is reflected in score distribution for euro 2015 - 10.3% 5, 17.4% 4 2016 - 7.9% 5, 16.2% 4). however, because this coming years are relatively still in testing mode, changes may come (so many complaints about euro /rages/)

the remaining 4 parts may take a while bc i want to use examples to break them down and walk you through. the ap euro version of this post will probably be done after this series b/c it seems like ap euro isn’t as popular

I FINALLY CHECKED MY AP SCORES

5 on World History 4 on European History Not gonna lie I was really hoping for a 5 on Euro, but it's okay because I got a 5 on World which was totally unexpected, so overall I'm proud of my scores.

I think I took more time on APpass.com last night than I did actually studying for the AP exam.
