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
   Antwort und Erklärung zeigen

   Antwort: 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
   Antwort und Erklärung zeigen

   Antwort: 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?

   Wähl alles aus, was zutrifft.

   • 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
   Antwort und Erklärung zeigen

   Antwort: 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.

   Optionen für Lücke 1: maritime, steppe, gunpowder, tributary

   Antwort und Erklärung zeigen

   Antwort: 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
   Antwort und Erklärung zeigen

   Antwort: 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
   Antwort und Erklärung zeigen

   Antwort: 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?

   Wähl alles aus, was zutrifft.

   • A. Smallpox
   • B. Horses
   • C. Potatoes
   • D. Maize
   • E. Wheat
   Antwort und Erklärung zeigen

   Antwort: 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
   Antwort und Erklärung zeigen

   Antwort: 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
   Antwort und Erklärung zeigen

   Antwort: 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.

    Optionen für Lücke 1: Industrial, Agricultural, Scientific, Neolithic

    Optionen für Lücke 2: Brazil, Britain, Japan, Russia

    Antwort und Erklärung zeigen

    Antwort: 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 _____.

    Optionen für Lücke 1: imperialism, mercantilism, isolationism, feudalism

    Antwort und Erklärung zeigen

    Antwort: 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
    Antwort und Erklärung zeigen

    Antwort: 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?

    Wähl alles aus, was zutrifft.

    • A. The Crimean War
    • B. The Korean War
    • C. The Vietnam War
    • D. The Soviet war in Afghanistan
    • E. The Franco-Prussian War
    Antwort und Erklärung zeigen

    Antwort: 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
    Antwort und Erklärung zeigen

    Antwort: 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
    Antwort und Erklärung zeigen

    Antwort: 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 Lernleitfaden: die neun Units

AP World History: Modern behandelt die Zeit von etwa 1200 n. Chr. bis heute in neun Units, und sie sind nicht gleich gewichtet. Die Units 1 und 2, Global Tapestry und Networks of Exchange, machen je 8 bis 10 Prozent der Prüfung aus. Die Units 3 bis 6 machen je 12 bis 15 Prozent aus: Land-Based Empires, Transoceanic Interconnections, Revolutions und Consequences of Industrialization. Die Units 7, 8 und 9, Global Conflict, Cold War and Decolonization und Globalization, liegen wieder bei je 8 bis 10 Prozent. Die vier mittleren Units tragen etwa die Hälfte der Prüfung, also verdienen sie etwa die Hälfte deiner Lernzeit.

Der Kurs läuft außerdem über sechs Themen, die durch jede Unit gehen: Mensch und Umwelt, kulturelle Entwicklungen und Austausch, Herrschaft, Wirtschaftssysteme, soziale Beziehungen und Ordnung sowie Technik und Innovation. Ein guter Lernleitfaden ist ein Raster mit den Units oben und den Themen an der Seite. Schreib in jedes Feld einen Fakt, den du als Beleg nutzen könntest. Ein leeres Feld ist deine nächste Lernstunde.

Was die Prüfung verlangt und wie du diesen Übungstest nutzt

Die Prüfung hat zwei Teile. Section I besteht aus 55 Multiple-Choice-Fragen in 55 Minuten und 3 Kurzantwortfragen in 40 Minuten, zusammen 60 Prozent der Note. Section II besteht aus einer dokumentenbasierten Frage und einem langen Essay, zusammen 40 Prozent. Das College Board hat Änderungen an den Kurzantwort- und Essayfragen ab der Prüfung im Mai 2027 angekündigt. Schau also in der aktuellen Course and Exam Description nach Anzahl und Zeit, bevor du dein Üben planst.

Dieser Übungstest hat 15 Fragen, verteilt auf die neun Units. Er nutzt auch Mehrfachauswahl und Lückentext, was das echte Multiple Choice nicht tut, weil es schwerer ist, einen Begriff abzurufen, als ihn in einer Liste zu erkennen. Mach ihn in einem Durchgang, lies jede Erklärung und lass eine falsche Antwort auf eine Unit zeigen, nicht nur auf einen Fakt. Die Essays übt er nicht. Nimm dafür eine Quelle, schreib eine These, stütze sie mit zwei konkreten Belegen und sag, warum Autor, Publikum oder Zweck wichtig sind.

Wie StudyPDF aus deinen Notizen Lernleitfaden und Übungstests baut

Fünfzehn Fragen zeigen dir, welche Units wackeln. Prüfungsreif machen sie dich nicht, und ein allgemeiner Leitfaden passt selten zu dem, womit sich deine Lehrkraft drei Wochen lang beschäftigt hat.

StudyPDF arbeitet stattdessen mit deinem Material. Du lädst dein Buchkapitel, deine Mitschriften oder das Wiederholungsblatt deiner Lehrkraft hoch, tippst auf Neues Material, und StudyPDF baut einen Lernleitfaden und vollständige Übungstests aus genau diesen Seiten. Jede Frage steckt in deinem Material, und jede Erklärung nennt die Stelle, aus der die Antwort stammt. Du musst nichts hochladen, um anzufangen: Du kannst auch einfach ein Thema nennen, etwa Unit 4 oder den Columbian Exchange, und Bo legt es mit seinen Kernbegriffen an, damit du Material dazu erstellen kannst. Der Start ist kostenlos.
