Many students ask me this question. 

This is a good reference:

Yeah, don't do that!

Fall 2017 Mock AP Test High Scores (Multiple Choice)

Each of these students should be proud of their work. Although we have only gone through one semester and the first three units, they have mastered the work to this point. Their performance on the multiple choice was excellent. 

However, it is only 40% of the AP Test score. The Short Answer Questions (20%) and the Document-Based Question (25%) & Long Essay Question (15%) account for the majority of the score.

Still the Multiple Choice is the largest percentage portion of the test with 40% going to your overall score. So it is important. These questions are not just rote memorization questions any longer. They involve skills (comparison, causation, continuity & change over time, understand time periods of world history, map, chart, graphic, passages to understand).

Chapter 13 - The Worlds of the Fifteenth Century
Learning Targets:
• Consider the variety of human experience in the fifteenth century and compare those experiences across cultures.
• Contrast the political and cultural conditions in China’s Ming Dynasty and Europe’s “Renaissance Period” on the cusp of the modern world and analyze why Europe came to dominate the world in the modern era.
• Determine the factors that bring about change in the Islamic world (Middle East and West Africa) in the fifteenth century and analyze the differences between the four Muslim Empires.
• Contrast Aztec and Inca thinking about political administration and culture.

Essential Questions:
1. Assume for the moment that the Chinese had not ended their maritime voyages in 1433. How might the subsequent development of world history have been different? What value is there in asking this kind of “what if ” or counter-factual question?
2. How would you define the major achievements of Ming dynasty China?
3. What political and cultural differences stand out in the histories of fifteenth-century China and Western Europe? What similarities are apparent?
4. In what ways did European maritime voyaging in the fifteenth century differ from that of China? What accounts for these differences?
5. What differences can you identify among the four major empires in the Islamic world of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries?
Although not a huge part of the test, Chapter 13 is very diverse. Don't forget about Paleolithic Persistence.
