Presentation transcript:

General Review Tips Prioritize - Focus on topics/areas of weakness first Avoid trying to memorize too much - Review “big picture” concepts first, specific terms/name/events later Look at old materials - Review in-class and reading notes, past essays & tests, study materials from Fall final Try different approaches - There is no “best” way to review (alone/group, on-line/book/flash cards, practice tests/packets – it depends on your learning style – try mixing it up). Find a “middle ground” - Some review better than no review. Too much review is counterproductive. Be positive – You have learned a lot this year & the AP exam is graded on a major curve.

AP Exam Multiple Choice Information 55 minutes for 80 questions Each question has 5 possible answers Multiple Choice counts for ½ of total score No points lost for wrong or skipped questions. Questions get progressively more challenging. BIG curve on multiple choice - Score over 40 likely earns a 3 (passing score) – over 50 likely earns a 4 and over 60 a 5. Chronology of Questions: –16 (20%) pre 1790; 36 (45%) ; 28 (35%) 1915 – 1990 Topic of Questions: –28 (35%) Politics; 28 (35%) Social/Cultural; 12 (15%) Foreign Policy; 8 (10%) Economics; 4 (5%) Cultural/Intellectual

AP Exam Essay Information There is 1 DBQ essay you must write on and 4 FRQ prompts of which you must write on 2. You will be required to write one FRQ on a topic prior to 1880 and one FRQ on a topic after that date. The 5 total essay prompts will range in their topics chronologically and thematically. AP Essay Writing Tips READ prompts multiple times Brainstorm & make a quick “plan of attack” Introduction needs some brief background on “big picture” followed by an on-topic thesis Body paragraphs need to BLEND details with analysis. (Facts & explanations). Grading is “holistic” – no points “taken away”, just earned. If in doubt, make a guess.
