what up i'm ben freeman from
freemanpedia.com and if you're watching
this video you're going to be taking ap
world history modern this school year or
you're trapped on the first day of ap
world modern and your teacher is
force-feeding you all of these videos
all at once
in some soviet gulag style nightmare
scenario
that's the case you're probably thinking
i've made a huge mistake
but hopefully you're seeing this in the
summer and prepping for your first ap
course and unlike any course you've
probably had before there's a ton of
emphasis
on the exam at the end of the course so
for today's episode let's focus
on the exam itself
[Music]
okay don't focus too much on the exam
itself right now but i figured you
should have some sort of an idea as to
what you're up against
the ap world history modern exam will be
held in the first half of maine it takes
about three and a half hours to complete
this bad boy now luckily for you
your teacher will be teaching you all of
the stuff i'm about to mention
throughout the year
but i thought you should know up front
so here's how the exam breaks down
first 55 stimulus-based multiple choice
questions in 55 minutes
they will give you a stimulus a quote an
excerpt from a historian some art a map
something meant to stimulate your brain
and help you in answering three to four
questions
that follow that stimulus so you'll have
around 15 of these stimuli
on the multiple choice section alone but
each one
comes with multiple questions next three
short answer questions these are exactly
what they sound like
each saq that's what we call it here in
ap world will have
three questions so the first one will
have an a
part a b part and a c part the next one
will have an a part a b part and a c
part and the final one will have an a
part a b part and a c part these aren't
super fancy no crazy rubric
just answer the prompt you'll have 40
minutes to do about three of them so
that's about 13 minutes each
then you'll have a break ah that's nice
then you get 100 minutes that's one hour
and 40 minutes to answer
two long essay questions one is the
document based question or the dbq
you will hear a ton about this
throughout the year this is my favorite
part but this is probably not going to
be your favorite part the last one is
the long essay question or the laq
this one doesn't have a stimuli or
documents necessarily but just requires
you to answer
a question with a long essay response so
that's it that's the exam
obviously there's way more to it than
that the rubric for the dbq is pretty
complex
but i'm just here to introduce the
course so your teacher has some work to
do
but it's good to know what the big bad
exam is like
now so that you know what you're
building towards throughout the school
year
why are your unit exams full of
stimulus-based questions because the
exam is full of stimulus-based questions
why do i have to answer these dumb saq
prompts with a b
and c because the exam is full of short
answer questions with parts a
b and c why do i have to read seven
documents come up with the thesis
context and like 50 other things for one
stupid essay because the dbq is the
largest single prompt on the entire exam
wait are you not enthralled with my
description of an exam that is months
away
well don't worry i got you
you're gonna spend all year preparing
for an exam in may the exam is almost
four hours long you will need to learn
how to answer different types of
questions
throughout the year to be successful
okay you now know
what the course covers you know why you
should take the course
and you know what to expect from the ap
exam in may
but how can you be successful in ap
world history
find out in part four of the five things
to know before taking
ap world history mud
