If you need free tutoring help for ap world you can ask me, I got a 5 for apush and 4 for ap world (I didn’t take the class and I just started studying a couple days before, but I still know a lot about world history and can help you), I also helped a kid who was writing dbqs worth around 2-3 points and the dbq he just wrote was worth at least a 5-6, after I helped him

So for the ways you can’t get the sophistication point, do you have to try to avoid all of those. So for example if I make sweeping generalizations but I connect the rhetorical choices among each other, will I still get the point?

@MarcoLearning 4 жыл бұрын

In theory, you could still earn the point. Some of this hard to speculate about because this rubric has never been used on AP Exams before. At the readings this year, the readers will figure out how they will assign or not assign points.

Could we only talk about 1 rhetorical device for each paragraph, but make them lengthy detailed paragraphs(2)? Would I still get at least 3 points for the evidence part?

@kinggamers7407 4 жыл бұрын

I feel like number 1 on the list of things that get you the point looks like a response to the prompt, how is it different?

@MarcoLearning 4 жыл бұрын

It's about the nuance of the rhetorical situation. The sophistication point can be awarded for the development and support of a particularly complex argument. Does that make sense?

@kinggamers7407 4 жыл бұрын

Marco Learning yes thank you

So the sophistication point is equivalent to the complex understanding point in ap European history

@MarcoLearning 4 жыл бұрын

It’s definitely comparable.

@skylerji5296 4 жыл бұрын

very last minute comment but do you think I could get a 5 and not earn the sophistication point?

@MarcoLearning 4 жыл бұрын

Yes, in theory that would be possible, but we won’t know until after all the exams are scored this year.

@karensa8814 4 жыл бұрын

Do we need to do a conclusion?

@maggiemuelken8153 4 жыл бұрын

No! If your essay comes to a natural end, it’s not necessary.

@MarcoLearning 4 жыл бұрын

It's a good place to discuss some of the complexities or tensions in the passage, but only write a conclusion if you have the time. Focus on getting good evidence and commentary and developing your argument.
