What did you get on your AP US History exam?
I got a 4. I didn't even think I'd pass. The whole year I put so much effort into that class but I persistently received a C. I never passed any of the practice exams, either. But I studied for hours on end. I guess it paid off! I'm still shocked though. I literally screamed and started crying when I received the score in the mail. I didn't call to get it early because I truly believed I didn't pass it and I didn't wanna ruin my Summer. So, I was wondering, what did you guys get on the exam? Not in the past, but from this year's.
Tips for a level polish exam?
Please note that I only know you from what you wrote in English above. My tips are to take note of the correct tenses of verbs. In English, your first sentence should have read, "I did my last year...." In addition, teachers look for specific verbs and a more advanced vocabulary, so that sentence could have read, " I completed my last year in Polish and received an A grade." Also note how I used capital letters. Your scorer will look for attention to detail, and conventions like capitalizing appropriately will matter. Here is some more on verbs: they need to agree in number and gender. So instead of "theres 3", you should have written "There are three...." If you are writing the word "there's" and using it appropriately, there should be an apostrophe where the letters are left out in the contraction. So you need an apostrophe in the word "don't." I know some of this will sound like I am being a smart-@$$ by correcting your English, but following the rules YOU KNOW ALREADY and paying attention to that kind of detail will improve your writing a lot. It is a mistake to get into bad habits, because you don't realize it when they continue automatically. As for a writing framework, you can probably write a four-paragraph essay and proof-read it in 25 minutes. You can practice and time yourself on this. So plan on an introduction, two main points, and a conclusion in that amount of time. In the introduction, have an attention-getter, and briefly refer to your main points. In the second paragraph, stick to only one main point, with a main idea sentence and about three details. The third paragraph should be about your second main point. Finally, your conclusion should wrap up by stating those main points briefly again and driving home the theme of your essay.
How do you prepare for A-level History?
I got an A in history A level. If you want an A* in A level history there is literally no shortcutsYou have to get a textbook and read it. Make notes on the what you have read. Remake notes on what you have read. Remake notes on what you have read. Keep making the same notes for each topic so that you are able to remember facts and use them in the exams. The only way to learn facts in history is to rewrite your notes from memory over and over again. It’s hard at first but over time it gets easier because you will have written the facts more times by the end.Start revision early so that you don’t have to cram. This isn’t like mathematics where you can quickly learn a method and reapply that method on a lot of questions. In History you either know the facts or you don’t so starting revision early is vital.Obviously history isn’t just about learning facts. To do well in the exam you have to be able to write well, be analytical and construct amazing arguments. Unfortunately the only way you can possibly do that is if you practice writing exam essays under timed conditions. Ask your teacher if he will mark them and if he doesn’t mark them yourself.In the case where you’re practice exam essays are really bad and you get a low mark in it, don’t just sit there and cry about it. Find out what you can do to improve it and then sit down and rewrite the essay under timed conditions from scratch. This essay practice will get you in the habit of being able to structure, organise and make arguments in strict time conditions which will really help you in the real thing.If you have a coursework element, the key is literally just to read as many different sources as you can, take quotes and chat shit your topic in detail.Hope that helps.
Should i take IB history higher level or standard level?
Take IB History HL, because if you take IB History SL, you still learn exactly the same stuff as IB History HL, except you get one less exam. Trust me, it's almost exactly the same thing, except with IB History HL, you can get credits for university. Also, the last exam isn't that tough, because you can use the information and style that you used in the previous history exams. If you already have three HL's, then you probably shouldn't take IB History HL, unless you're planning to do history in university because it would be too much of a course load. Good luck. I'm speaking from experience and knowledge about IB, by the way.
How do I write a source-based essay in AS History exam paper?
If your question is being interpreted correctly by this respondent, it is about an essay around whether one agrees or disagrees with a source being quoted about an event/movement in history. Usually the source in the exam question is one familiar with the students who have done their reading and studies. Unless the exam is 'open book' the marker/instructor will not anticipate direct quotations a student has gleaned from other source material and then mulling over it to develop their own insight (it depends sometimes whether a student is allowed free rein or has to have an opinion which agrees with the curriculum/marker - you will want to be careful). As part of the introduction to the response it is best to provide one's own interpretation of the question and base their response on that. ---- Under exam stress/duress, this respondent knowingly misinterpreted a question in terms of how it appeared on an exam; gave their own (lengthy) interpretation of the question and then proceeded with the response. They were last to receive their (university level) exam with the notation it had to go to a 'faculty committee' for validation and marking. The final outcome was the interpretation was valid and a mark was given. ---- As in any essay be certain your Conclusion follows up on what your Introduction proposed (hypothesized). Markers (should) realize a respondent working on such a question has to be doing some thinking while they are working on the question and therefore in an exam setting such a response is more akin to one's first draft of a more polished essay/piece of work.
I got a 2 on the AP World History :(?
Don't worry about it too much. Remember that you can always cancel that 2 on AP World History permanently for a couple of bucks. Also, a 2 isn't awful, just slightly below average (think of it as a C- and not as an F). The important thing is to learn from the mistakes and to do better the next time. For example, I did really well on AP World History exam but I did run out of time on my essays (1hr. on my 1st essay CCOT, 40mins on my 2nd DBQ, and 20mins on my 3rd Compare/Contrast). Now I know for the next AP exams to really practice in budgetting time for the free respons. What gave me my high score was that I knew almost every single multiple choice question, not my essays. That method may not work too well for AP English Lang. or APUSH next year. Also, don't worry about those Regents tests. Colleges will probably not care for them. What you should do is take the SAT Subject Test for Math (Level II is best) and get a good score on that. Don't waste your time trying to get a good score on a state test, colleges will care more for the nation-wide SAT II. P.S. Remember that if you cancel the score you probably will have to explain to the college why the course appears on your transcript but not on your AP scores (you could always just say you did not take the test, there wont be any collegeboard documentation to say other wise ;) Careful though, the school might still have a record that you did, better just be honest. You could also just include the score in your application and an explanation of why you did bad. Personally I would only cancel a score if it was a 1 or if it was going to interfere with an AP scholar award (they use the average score on the tests to give out awards)
How can I study for a math exam tomorrow (university level) if I wasted time and haven't started?
A2A - Check what will be covered on the exam. How much of it do you already know? If you know most of it, then spend the time going over the parts you don’t know or have trouble with.If you don’t know most or all of the topics that will be covered, then your choice is to quickly review everything and work some sample problems or to focus in on a few areas so that you get at least some questions right. Usually it’s best to focus on the topics that were taught first, as later topics tend to require knowledge of the earlier ones. You’ll get at least part of the test right this way.
If your level of test anxiety goes down as your time spent studying...?
These would be negatively correlated. Clearly there is a correlation because one changes in relationship to the other. A positive correlation would be if calmness went up as time spent studying also went up, so this is based on the definition of what you are measuring, anxiety or calmness.
