A note from your teacher, Matt Allen:

The Advanced Placement World History Examination will cover material from 1200 - 1914 which represents the first seven units of the course. The exam will be a 45 minute Document Based Question that will present a thematic premise and a variety of documents across a wide span of time. It will consist of 5 documents where students will be asked to construct an essay that evaluates their ability to analyze the information, analyze the source's point of view along with a plethora of outside information that is not presented in the document. The examination is also an open notebook and open textbook test that is more geared towards the skill of writing than the memorization of material. This course will review the content involved, discuss strategies on how to write a DBQ in this new 10 point format and even review materials one should have next to them while taking the examination. The AP is still going to grade this examination with a stingy curve as college credit will be granted to those who score well on the test.
