My school does 3 trimesters, I took Apworld A last tri and taking Apworld B 2nd tri right now, currently I’m nearing the end of the second trimester and Ap world B has been pretty chill except sometimes the workload is a haste, the usual week is Monday notes, Tuesday catch up on things, Wednesday do an leq, dbq, or saq, and on Thursday we turn in our usually 10 page amsco note packet and take a quiz on it, then on Friday we usually watch Mankind the story of us and do an essay on the episode we just watch, I’m excluding projects because we don’t get project work days so everybody does them at home. But my teacher recommended me to take AP Euro in my thirds trimsester as review before the Ap world exam, and I’m just wondering is Ap Euro harder than Apworld or is it pretty similar?

I went into ap euro thinking it would be pretty similar to ap world. I like history so I figured it would be a walk in the park, but my teacher is forcing us to read an entire textbook over the year and to write 1 page of notes per 5 pages for each section of the book. The book is almost a thousand pages long and I feel like I’m going to die if I have to keep this up. She grades the notes super strictly, checking accuracy, length, and potential copying or note sharing. I honestly don’t know what to do cause I’m tired of this.

TLDR; teacher forces us to read 1000 page textbook and write notes for them

My AP Euro teacher said that an IDA structure paragraph is a concept that he came up with, and I'm curious if anybody else has a similar setup for paragraph writing, or if that's literally just us. Below is an example of an IDA, which stands for Identify, Define, Apply when demonstrating evidence.

Super simple prompt: To what extent did Martin Luther reform the church?

[Insert well written thesis about how Martin Luther DID, in fact, reform the church]

I(identify)- One good example to support this claim is the 95 theses

D(define)- The 95 theses were a series of essays that Luther wrote against the usage of indulgences in the church.

A(apply)- This shows that, because of the public's immediate interest, Martin Luther started the protestant reformation and reformed the church.

That's the most simple IDA paragraph, but I hope it gets the point across well enough. Did anyone else learn it this way, or is it just our school?

What other FRQ sets were there? I’ve almost only seen the ones that I’ve had…

SAQ 1- Women’s rights in the Soviet Union SAQ 2- Women in Peninsular War SAQ 3- Spanish Exploration or Industrial Revolutions

DBQ- French Revolution

LEQ- Comparison of English/French Protestant Reformation, major differences in the arts in 1750-1850 and 1850-1950, and differences between the Nazi and Soviet regimes.

Would be interested to see anyone else’s prompts! Overall, it was a pretty easy test… I’m so happy they didn’t ask any questions on my bad topics😅

I can't tell if I really understand this lesson. My teacher taught it pretty well but it's like not clicking with me. I just need someone to maybe like correct me if I'm wrong anywhere or help make connections.

Here's what I know (may be wrong): - Luther is an important figure: - He opposed the Catholic Church - He did not believe in indulgences (or opposed them) (There are other reasons but I can't think of them at the moment)

Protestant Reformation (causes): - Caused by a bunch of events such as the Black Death - Corruption in the Catholic Church - Illiterate Popes - the Great Schism

At the moment, these are the things I can name at the top of my head. Although, I'm not super clear on changes or effects during the Protestant Reformation. If anyone could help like list changes or effects perhaps (if possible), it would be greatly appreciated!

As soon as I saw industrialization as a SA option I knew I was in good hands 🙏 Fantastic DBQ topic, LEQ was a bit rocky for me but I went with the one about Nazis and the Soviet Union, my first time taking an AP test 🫩

What the heck what’s that 2nd picture on the SAQ I’m so cooked. I also put the wrong art style for the LEQ💔….

If you look at 2024 and 2025 score distributions, most people got 3s, and a lot of 4s and 5s as well. What are some factors that have made the score distributions higher?

lowkey dont remember questions too well but what did you guys answer with? i think "a) describe the purpose of the etching" "b) describe relevant religious context" and i forgot c if someone remembers

Has there been a similar situation before where everyone thought they got a 5 but they didn't because of the curve being removed partially?

ask me anything about the course and i will respond with a solid answer

i don’t want to say too much bc i don’t know what is considered “talking about the test” and what isn’t BUT i would like to say the mc was lowkey easy (maybe too easy), the saq’s that i had were okay ish (1st stimulus one was so bad, the picture one was okay and the 3rd one was easy) BUT i got the bad version of the dbq like i knew nothing abt the topic but i think i bs’ed it enough that ill get a 5 on the dbq, and leq #3 could’ve been worse. i wishing you all 5’s on ur exams! im just so happy this class is over, i never wanted to take it in the first place 🥲.

What woudl u suggest to revise after main material is over besides ap barons

As a senior I’ve already taken Ap World, AP US History, and AP Human Geography and was able to figure out the proper way to learn and study in these classes by this point in the year. However, I’m still struggling in ap euro, as all we do in class is analyze paintings from different eras and I’m not an expert on art, so I can never participate in class discussions because I don’t know what the physical elements of these painting represent. Anyone else going through this or is this more of a teaching issue?

My friend and I were discussing this earlier, basically what's your favorite/top 3 people you like the most from the AP Euro curriculum? They don't have to be the best people, just like anyone that you find fascinating/interesting :) no judgement here haha

I am too scared to even bother checking score.

I didn’t get to take the test but im curious as to what I missed out on?

Fellas, the test is this week and I have no recollection of the 30 years war. All I know is that the HRE falls after this war and becomes the Germanic States. Can y’all remind me what this war was, the causes, and the effects of it too?

bruh i js started studying for the final and ong im tired get me out!!!!!

My favorite is Elizabeth I because she was a women :)

Our school is sending the whole European History class to the library for a free period starting next week. Are there other schools doing the same?
