Exam+6+Review+-+12-13

Your last exam for APUSH (yeah!!!!) will take place on Tuesday, April 30th (Block D) and Wednesday, May 1st (Block F). The exam will take you the entire period to complete and will consist of:


 * 10 Multiple Choice Questions (worth 10% of the exam grade)
 * 1 FRQ (worth 40% of the exam grade) - you will have two options to choose from
 * US Map Test (States, Capitals, and Major Cities - worth 50% of the exam grade)

For a list of major cities, see the list that you were given in class. Good luck!



For this exam only, the FRQ will be a "take home essay." As usual, you have two options to choose from. You must follow the following instructions completely in order to receive full credit.


 * Essays must be typed and double-spaced. (Failure to follow these instructions will result in your grade being docked by 10%.)
 * You must upload a copy of your essay to Turnitin.com by the END of the exam class period (Block D - 1:31 pm on Tuesday, April 30th, Block F - 9:31 am on Wednesday, May 1st). (Failure to follow this direction - NO CREDIT GIVEN!)
 * You must turn in a hard copy of your essay by the end of the exam period. (Failure to follow this direction - NO CREDIT GIVEN!)
 * Essays may not exceed 700 words. This does not include your name and the title of your essay. (Failure to follow this instruction - 1 point docked for every five words that you exceed the maximum word count by.)
 * Your essay must be titled - "1970s" or "Women's Rights" depending on which essay you chose. Do NOT re-write the question at the top of your paper. (Failure to follow this instruction - 2 points deducted.)

The options for this essay are:

"Analyze the ways in which the events and trends of the 1970s diminished the nation's economic power and international influence, and challenged Americans' confidence in both.
 * "1970s"**

"Compare and contrast the women's rights movement of the 1840s-1860s with the women's rights movement of the 1960s-1980s."
 * "Women's Rights"**

Finally, a note about academic honesty. It is my expectation that your work be your own. You are expected to do this work on your own, without consulting your peers or others. I recognize that you may consult sources, both print and online, to find evidence to support your stance which is perfectly acceptable. However, claiming work that is not your own (either by consulting other students or online sources) will result in receiving no credit for this portion of the exam and you will be subject to the appropriate disciplinary measures as put forth in the Student Handbook. If I suspect that you have been collaborating with other students (and prove it), all guilty parties will receive a zero for this part of the exam. If you have any questions about what is permissible, ask me!
