theres a good game on History.com (so a classmate syas)

btw, a book put out by Princeton says "hint: we haven't had an essay on the AOC in a while"
One of my classmates bought the preparation book



Mark Twain coined the name gilded age becasue of the underlying corruption surrounded by oppulance
 
my teacher said that there is a good chance of the dbq being on the post wwII era

and be sure to checkout those websites, they are the only thing that prevented me from failing cuz that book is dreadfully boring lol
 
I must have wrote 100 practice essays before my AP European history exam. Knowing how to write a good essay in 30 minutes is an awesome skill.
 
American Pageant is pretty boring
My school just bought new books, so they gave me the one I have now

I used the highlighter extensively

hmmm
post ww2 isn't bad for me

Aced the review test today...
God I am worried about the DBQ
 
The Hudson River School is famous for what specific kind of painting?

What was the compromise of 1849?

Explain why the post civil war Reconstruction failed.

All of those were on the 2004 ap test which I got a 4 on. And then I went to college and the credit was useless.

don't be. my teacher kept stressing about how hard the dbq's are but they really aren't. Pretty much all you have to do is be able to name 2 things associated with each of the 5-6 documents that will be used. also not looking at the documents and simply barinstorming about the topic helps alot. Pretty much just treat it as a regular essay then slip in some references to the documents

Hudson River school was famous for landscapes... Realistics??


Compromise of 1849 was made by Senator Douglas from Illinois, and scraped the Missouri Compromise in favor of Popular Sovereignty for all territories, especially Kansas...

Is that right??


Reconstruction failed because the South didn't want anything to do with the North
After Lincoln was shot, it all fell apart
There was still segregation
There was loads of corruption
hmmm what is the answer they're looking for. Not one of those

The Union failed to execute the Confederate officer corps. Would have solved a lot of post war problems had they done so.

I feel your pain...

My teacher corrected my sole attempt in-class as a 2
Not good
 
I was homeschooled, and my mom was able to get a bunch of DBQs off of collegeboard's website. I would suggest trying some of the old ones, just for practice, and then seeing if your teacher or some smart person would grade them for you.
