no matter which of the schedules you decide to adopt

1 You have a definite love of world history.

2 You are certain that history will be your major in college.

4 You like detailed planning and everything in its place.

5 You feel you must be thoroughly prepared.

3 You feel more comfortable when you know what to expect, but a

surprise or two does not floor you

You are a 4- to 6-week prep student (Approach C) if

prepared you fairly well for the AP test

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

What is the Advanced Placement Program?

The Advanced Placement program was begun by the College Board in

1955 to construct standard achievement exams that would allow highlymotivated high school students the opportunity to be awarded advancedplacement as freshmen in colleges and universities in the United States.Today, there are 34 courses and exams with well over a million studentstaking the annual exams in May

There are numerous AP courses in the social studies besides WorldHistory, including United States History, European History, Government,Economics, and Psychology The majority of students who take AP testsare juniors and seniors; however, some schools offer AP courses to fresh-men and sophomores, especially in World History

Who Writes the AP World History Exam?

Who Corrects the Exams?

Like all AP exams, the World History exam is written by college and highschool instructors of world history This group is called the AP WorldHistory Test Development Committee It constantly evaluates the test,analyzing the test as a whole and on an item-by-item basis All questions

on the World History exam are field-tested before they actually appear

on an AP exam

A much larger group of college and secondary teachers meets at a tral location in early June to correct the exams that were completed bystudents the previous month The scoring procedure of each grader (or

cen-“reader”) during this procedure is carefully analyzed to ensure thatexams are being evaluated on a fair and consistent basis

How are Exams Graded?

Sometime in July the grade you receive on your AP exam is reported.You, your high school, and the colleges you listed on your initial appli-cation will receive scores

There are five possible scores that you may receive on your exams:

• 5 indicates that you are extremely well qualified This is the highestpossible grade

• 4 indicates that you are well qualified

• 3 indicates that you are qualified

• 2 indicates that you are possibly qualified

• 1 indicates that you are not qualified to receive college credit

REASONS FOR TAKING THE ADVANCED

PLACEMENT EXAMINATION

There are several very practical reasons for enrolling in an AP WorldHistory course and taking the AP World History exam in May In the firstplace, during the application process colleges look very favorably on stu-dents who have challenged themselves by taking Advanced Placementcourses Although few would recommend this, it is possible to take any

AP exam without taking a preparatory course for that exam

Most important, most colleges will reward you for doing well on your

AP exams Although the goal of this manual is to help you achieve a 5,

if you get a 3 or better on your AP World History exam, many collegeswill either give you actual credit for a required introductory world his-tory course or allow you to receive elective credit You should definitelycheck beforehand with the colleges you are interested in to find out theirpolicy on AP scores and credit They will vary

Taking a year of AP World History (or any AP) course will be a veryexacting and challenging experience If you have the capabilities, allowyourself to be challenged! Many students feel a great personal satisfac-tion after completing an AP course, regardless of the score they eventu-ally receive on the actual exam

“The higher order thinking skills that characterize the AP World History course provide an excellent preparation for college and uni- versity studies.”—College professor

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT THE AP WORLD

HISTORY EXAMINATION

The AP World History exam consists of both multiple-choice and essayquestions The multiple-choice portion is worth 50 percent of the totalexam grade, whereas the three essays together count equally for the other

50 percent On the multiple-choice section, you will be penalized onefourth of a point for each incorrect answer

The Multiple-Choice Questions

This section consists of 70 questions Each question has five possibleanswers You will have 55 minutes to complete this section

The College Board annually publishes material on the breakdown ofquestions on the multiple-choice test According to their most recentlypublished information, the multiple-choice section is broken down asfollows:

4

Trang 35

• 19–20 percent of the questions deal with the period from 8000 B.C.E

to 600 C.E

• 22 percent of the questions deal with the period from 600 C.E to 1450

• 19–20 percent of the questions deal with the period from 1450 to1750

• 19–20 percent of the questions deal with the period from 1750 to 1914

• 19–20 percent of the questions deal with the period from 1914 to thepresent

The information provided above is extremely valuable as you preparefor the multiple-choice section of the test As you study, you should obvi-ously concentrate your efforts on the period since 600 C.E

An Introduction to the AP World History Examination • 17

“For DBQs, group your information and then analyze all the details Find what will actually be useful for your essay Be clear, concise, and

to the point.”—AP student

The Essay Questions

During the remaining 2 hours and 10 minutes of the test you will beasked to write three essays: a document-based essay (DBQ), a change-over-time essay, and a comparative essay The essays will be based on thebroad themes that form the background of the AP World History course.According to the College Board description of the AP World Historycourse, these themes include:

• Interactions among major societies, such as war, trade, and internationaldiplomacy

• Change and continuity across the time periods covered by the course

• The influence of technology and demography (population studies)

on societies and the environment

• Social and gender history

• Cultural and intellectual developments

• Changes in political structures of states and in attitudes toward thosestructures

Also essential to success on the essays is the ability to visualize global terns and the reactions of societies to global processes The ability to inter-pret the context of a document as well as to analyze point of view and bias

pat-is necessary to compose a satpat-isfactory response to the document-basedquestion

For further information on the multiple-choice and essay questions,refer to Part IV of this manual
