SAQ Practice – Unit 8
STUDENT MATERIALSSTUDENT MATERIALSS-1 SAQ PRACTICE – UNIT 8WORLD HISTORY PROJECT - AP / LESSON 8.1 ACTIVITYPurposeIn this second-to-last activity in the SAQ practice series, you’ll have an opportunity to apply many of the strategies you’ve learned. This should give you a sense of just how prepared you are to respond to SAQs on the AP® World History: Modern exam, and will let you know whether you need to revisit the practice activities or spend more time with SAQs before the test. ProcessFor this SAQ practice activity, you will respond to one SAQ as if you were actually taking the AP exam. Not only should this give you a good feel for what might happen on the actual test date, it will give you an understanding of your ability to successfully earn points for your SAQs, and whether you may need to spend more time with this particular assessment item before taking the AP exam. Because you are allotted 40 minutes for three SAQs on the actual exam, your teacher will likely give you about 13 minutes to respond to this practice SAQ. Once time is up, be prepared to discuss your responses with your class. As you do this, mark up and correct your own SAQ if there are any areas that could be improved on. Take note of any mistakes you have made repeatedly (for example, do you often forget to fully explain the evidence you use in your responses?). Doing so will give you a good idea of what you need to work on before the actual exam.
