Continuing a Look at the Layout, Structure & Point Value Across the AP Exam
Lesson Outline
We reviewed the Short Answer Question Section, the 2nd section (this comes after the 55 minute M/C section) on the AP exam. This 2nd section is 40 minutes, each question is 13 minutes and worth 3 points. We discussed what must done to get full credit on the short answer questions, how they should be written and the length of the response. Joshua was instructed to highlight his Barron's Book as he reads! The 3rd section of the AP exam is 100 minutes, consisting of two essays: a long essay (LEQ) and a data based essay (DBQ). Joshua is continuing to learn about every section of the AP World History: Modern national exam. Everything possible is being done to orient Joshua to the structure of this exam. We will continue to work on practice questions throughout the year. This 195 minute (3.25 hours) exam has a 55 minute multiple choice section. The remaining 140 minutes (over 2 hours) is all writing. Much of our work continues to assist Joshua with writing solid theses and writing essays with substantive evidence and historical facts to support each thesis statement.
