1. 1. Which Song dynasty practice did the most to support a bureaucracy chosen by merit rather than birth?

   • A. Hereditary command of the imperial army
   • B. Selling government offices to wealthy merchants
   • C. Civil service examinations based on Confucian texts
   • D. Monastic examinations run by Buddhist orders
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: C. Civil service examinations based on Confucian texts

   Song rulers expanded the civil service examinations and drew officials from a wider pool of educated men. Success depended on mastery of Confucian learning, which tied the bureaucracy to Confucian values. Aristocratic families still held advantages, but the exams made merit a real path into government.

2. 2. What feature of the Indian Ocean basin helped make long-distance sea trade there regular and predictable?

   • A. Seasonal monsoon winds that reverse direction
   • B. A canal that joined it to the Mediterranean
   • C. Year-round ice-free ports along every coast
   • D. A single empire that controlled every harbor
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: A. Seasonal monsoon winds that reverse direction

   Monsoon winds blow one way for part of the year and the other way for the rest. Sailors could ride them out and back on a schedule, which tied East Africa, Arabia, India and Southeast Asia into one trading world. No single empire controlled the whole network.

3. 3. Which factors helped the Black Death spread across Afro-Eurasia in the fourteenth century?

   Vælg alle, der passer.

   • A. Railroads that carried travelers between cities
   • B. Crowded, growing towns where disease passed easily
   • C. Fleas on rats that traveled with caravans and ships
   • D. Printed pamphlets that spread the infection
   • E. Trade routes under Mongol rule that linked distant regions
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: B. Crowded, growing towns where disease passed easily, C. Fleas on rats that traveled with caravans and ships, E. Trade routes under Mongol rule that linked distant regions

   Connected trade routes, fleas living on rats aboard ships and in caravans, and dense towns all helped the plague move quickly. Railroads and the printing press are anachronisms: the first would not exist for centuries, and printed pamphlets cannot carry a disease.

4. 4. Complete the sentence.

   The Ottoman, Safavid and Mughal empires are often called the _____ empires because cannons and firearms helped them conquer rivals and hold territory.

   Muligheder for felt 1: maritime, steppe, gunpowder, tributary

   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: gunpowder

   Historians use gunpowder empires for states that combined firearms and artillery with strong central administration. The term is a shortcut, since each empire also relied on land taxes, large bureaucracies and legitimacy claims, not weapons alone.

5. 5. The devshirme system in the Ottoman Empire is best described as:

   • A. A tax paid only by Muslim merchants
   • B. A treaty system with European trading companies
   • C. The grant of land to nobles in return for cavalry
   • D. The levy of boys from Christian villages for state and military service
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: D. The levy of boys from Christian villages for state and military service

   Under devshirme, boys from Christian communities in the Balkans were taken, converted and trained. Some became Janissaries, the elite infantry, and some rose to high office. It gave the sultan servants whose loyalty went to him, not to a noble family.

6. 6. Which labor system drew on an earlier Inca practice and forced Indigenous communities to supply workers for Spanish silver mines?

   • A. Indentured servitude
   • B. Mita
   • C. Corvee in France
   • D. The plantation lease
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: B. Mita

   The Spanish adapted the Inca mita, a rotating labor obligation, to staff mines such as Potosi. Workers faced dangerous conditions and the system added to population loss in the Andes. The silver it produced flowed across the Pacific and Atlantic, linking the world economy.

7. 7. Which of these moved from Afro-Eurasia to the Americas as part of the Columbian Exchange?

   Vælg alle, der passer.

   • A. Smallpox
   • B. Horses
   • C. Potatoes
   • D. Maize
   • E. Wheat
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: A. Smallpox, B. Horses, E. Wheat

   Horses, smallpox and wheat crossed from Afro-Eurasia to the Americas. Potatoes and maize went the other way, and both became staple foods in Europe, Africa and Asia. Smallpox and other diseases killed a very large share of Indigenous peoples who had no earlier exposure.

8. 8. Which Enlightenment idea most directly challenged the divine right of kings?

   • A. Monarchs should tax only their own nobles
   • B. Governments get their authority from the consent of the governed
   • C. Faith is more reliable than reason
   • D. Trade should be controlled by the state
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: B. Governments get their authority from the consent of the governed

   Thinkers such as Locke and Rousseau argued that political authority comes from the people, not from God. That idea shaped the American, French and Latin American revolutions. It also gave later reformers a language to demand rights.

9. 9. What made the Haitian Revolution historically significant?

   • A. It ended the Atlantic slave trade overnight
   • B. It made France give up all its colonies
   • C. It established a monarchy modeled on Britain
   • D. It created the first independent state founded by formerly enslaved people
   Vis svar og forklaring

   Svar: D. It created the first independent state founded by formerly enslaved people

   Enslaved people in Saint-Domingue, led in part by Toussaint Louverture, defeated colonial and European forces and declared Haiti independent in 1804. It shook slaveholding societies across the Atlantic world. It did not end the slave trade at once, and Haiti paid a heavy price for independence.

10. 10. Complete the sentence.

    During the _____ Revolution, factories powered by steam spread first in _____ before reaching other parts of the world.

    Muligheder for felt 1: Industrial, Agricultural, Scientific, Neolithic

    Muligheder for felt 2: Brazil, Britain, Japan, Russia

    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: Industrial, Britain

    Industrialization began in Britain in the late 1700s, helped by coal, iron, capital and a growing demand for textiles. It then spread to Western Europe, the United States and Japan. Factory work reshaped cities, families and global trade.

11. 11. Complete the sentence.

    In the 1800s, industrial states expanded overseas to gain raw materials and markets, a policy historians call _____.

    Muligheder for felt 1: imperialism, mercantilism, isolationism, feudalism

    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: imperialism

    Industrial economies needed cotton, rubber, minerals and customers, and new technologies such as steamships and the telegraph made distant control easier. Mercantilism describes an earlier economic policy, and isolationism is the opposite of expansion.

12. 12. After World War I, what did the mandate system do with former Ottoman territories in the Middle East?

    • A. Placed them under British and French administration
    • B. Returned them to the Ottoman sultan
    • C. Granted all of them full independence
    • D. Divided them between the United States and Japan
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: A. Placed them under British and French administration

    The League of Nations assigned mandates, and Britain and France took charge of places such as Iraq, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon. The system claimed to prepare peoples for self-rule while keeping imperial control. Disputes over the borders it drew still shape politics there.

13. 13. Which of these were proxy conflicts of the Cold War?

    Vælg alle, der passer.

    • A. The Crimean War
    • B. The Korean War
    • C. The Vietnam War
    • D. The Soviet war in Afghanistan
    • E. The Franco-Prussian War
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: B. The Korean War, C. The Vietnam War, D. The Soviet war in Afghanistan

    In a proxy conflict, the superpowers backed opposing sides without fighting each other directly. Korea, Vietnam and Afghanistan all fit. The Crimean War and the Franco-Prussian War were fought in the nineteenth century, long before the Cold War.

14. 14. Which description best fits the Non-Aligned Movement?

    • A. A military alliance led by the Soviet Union
    • B. An economic union of European colonies
    • C. Newly independent states that avoided formal alliance with either superpower
    • D. A group of nations that sided with the United States
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: C. Newly independent states that avoided formal alliance with either superpower

    Leaders from India, Egypt, Indonesia and Yugoslavia brought together states that wanted independence in foreign policy during the Cold War. The movement helped decolonizing nations speak with a shared voice, though its members often disagreed with each other.

15. 15. The Green Revolution of the mid-twentieth century raised crop yields mainly through:

    • A. Returning to fallow fields every other year
    • B. Banning all machinery on farms
    • C. Moving farming into cities
    • D. High-yield seed varieties, fertilizers and irrigation
    Vis svar og forklaring

    Svar: D. High-yield seed varieties, fertilizers and irrigation

    Scientists developed high-yield varieties of wheat and rice that paid off when paired with fertilizer, pesticides and irrigation. Food output rose sharply in places such as India and Mexico. The costs were water use, debt for small farmers and loss of crop diversity.

AP World History studieguide: de ni units

AP World History: Modern dækker perioden fra omkring 1200 til i dag i ni units, og de vejer ikke lige meget. Unit 1 og 2, Global Tapestry og Networks of Exchange, udgør hver 8 til 10 procent af eksamen. Unit 3 til 6 udgør hver 12 til 15 procent: Land-Based Empires, Transoceanic Interconnections, Revolutions og Consequences of Industrialization. Unit 7, 8 og 9, Global Conflict, Cold War and Decolonization og Globalization, er igen på 8 til 10 procent hver. De fire midterste units bærer omkring halvdelen af eksamen, så de fortjener omkring halvdelen af din læsetid.

Kurset hviler også på seks temaer, der går på tværs af alle units: mennesker og miljø, kulturel udvikling og udveksling, styre, økonomiske systemer, sociale forhold og organisering, og teknologi og innovation. En god studieguide er et gitter med units foroven og temaer i siden. Skriv i hver rude et faktum, du kunne bruge som belæg. En tom rude er din næste times læsning.

Hvad eksamen kræver, og hvordan du bruger øveprøven

Eksamen har to dele. Section I er 55 multiple choice-spørgsmål på 55 minutter plus 3 kortsvarsspørgsmål på 40 minutter, tilsammen 60 procent af karakteren. Section II er ét dokumentbaseret spørgsmål og ét langt essay, tilsammen 40 procent. College Board har varslet ændringer af kortsvarsspørgsmålene og det lange essay fra eksamen i maj 2027, så tjek den aktuelle Course and Exam Description for antal og tid, før du planlægger din træning.

Denne øveprøve har 15 spørgsmål fordelt på de ni units. Den bruger også flere rigtige svar og udfyld de tomme felter, som den rigtige multiple choice ikke gør, fordi det er sværere at huske et begreb end at genkende det på en liste. Tag den i ét stræk, læs hver forklaring, og lad et forkert svar pege på en unit, ikke kun på et faktum. Den træner ikke essayene. Til dem skal du tage én kilde, skrive en tese, støtte den med to konkrete belæg og sige, hvorfor forfatteren, målgruppen eller formålet betyder noget.

Sådan laver StudyPDF en studieguide og øveprøver ud fra dine noter

Femten spørgsmål kan vise dig, hvilke units der vakler. De gør dig ikke eksamensklar, og en generel guide passer sjældent til det, din lærer arbejdede med i tre uger.

StudyPDF arbejder ud fra dit eget materiale. Du uploader dit bogkapitel, dine noter eller det repetitionsark, din lærer lagde op, klikker på Nyt materiale, og StudyPDF laver en studieguide og fulde øveprøver ud fra præcis de sider. Hvert spørgsmål bygger på dit materiale, og hver forklaring nævner, hvor svaret kommer fra. Du behøver ikke uploade noget for at komme i gang: du kan også bare nævne et emne, som Unit 4 eller den columbianske udveksling, og Bo sætter det op med nøglebegreberne, så du kan lave materiale om det. Det er gratis at komme i gang.
