¿Prefieres leer antes de jugar? Abajo están todas las preguntas de la muestra. Las respuestas y explicaciones quedan plegadas hasta que las abras.

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
   Ver respuesta y explicación

   Respuesta: 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
   Ver respuesta y explicación

   Respuesta: 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?

   Marca todas las que correspondan.

   • 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
   Ver respuesta y explicación

   Respuesta: 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.

   Opciones para el hueco 1: maritime, steppe, gunpowder, tributary

   Ver respuesta y explicación

   Respuesta: 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
   Ver respuesta y explicación

   Respuesta: 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
   Ver respuesta y explicación

   Respuesta: 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?

   Marca todas las que correspondan.

   • A. Smallpox
   • B. Horses
   • C. Potatoes
   • D. Maize
   • E. Wheat
   Ver respuesta y explicación

   Respuesta: 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
   Ver respuesta y explicación

   Respuesta: 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
   Ver respuesta y explicación

   Respuesta: 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.

    Opciones para el hueco 1: Industrial, Agricultural, Scientific, Neolithic

    Opciones para el hueco 2: Brazil, Britain, Japan, Russia

    Ver respuesta y explicación

    Respuesta: 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 _____.

    Opciones para el hueco 1: imperialism, mercantilism, isolationism, feudalism

    Ver respuesta y explicación

    Respuesta: 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
    Ver respuesta y explicación

    Respuesta: 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?

    Marca todas las que correspondan.

    • A. The Crimean War
    • B. The Korean War
    • C. The Vietnam War
    • D. The Soviet war in Afghanistan
    • E. The Franco-Prussian War
    Ver respuesta y explicación

    Respuesta: 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
    Ver respuesta y explicación

    Respuesta: 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
    Ver respuesta y explicación

    Respuesta: 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.

Guía de estudio de AP World History: las nueve unidades

AP World History: Modern cubre desde aproximadamente el año 1200 hasta hoy en nueve unidades, y no pesan lo mismo. Las unidades 1 y 2, Global Tapestry y Networks of Exchange, suponen cada una entre el 8 y el 10 por ciento del examen. Las unidades 3 a 6 suponen cada una entre el 12 y el 15 por ciento: Land-Based Empires, Transoceanic Interconnections, Revolutions y Consequences of Industrialization. Las unidades 7, 8 y 9, Global Conflict, Cold War and Decolonization y Globalization, vuelven al 8 a 10 por ciento cada una. Las cuatro unidades centrales llevan casi la mitad del examen, así que merecen casi la mitad de tu tiempo de estudio.

El curso también se apoya en seis temas que atraviesan todas las unidades: las personas y el entorno, el desarrollo y los intercambios culturales, el gobierno, los sistemas económicos, las relaciones y la organización social, y la tecnología y la innovación. Una buena guía de estudio es una tabla con las unidades arriba y los temas a un lado. En cada casilla, escribe un dato que podrías usar como prueba. Una casilla vacía es tu próxima hora de estudio.

Qué pide el examen y cómo usar este test de práctica

El examen tiene dos partes. La Section I son 55 preguntas de opción múltiple en 55 minutos más 3 preguntas de respuesta corta en 40 minutos, que juntas valen el 60 por ciento de la nota. La Section II es una pregunta basada en documentos y un ensayo largo, que juntos valen el 40 por ciento. El College Board ha anunciado cambios en las preguntas de respuesta corta y en el ensayo largo a partir del examen de mayo de 2027, así que consulta la Course and Exam Description actual para ver el número y el tiempo antes de planificar tu práctica.

Este test de práctica tiene 15 preguntas repartidas entre las nueve unidades. También usa marcar todas las que correspondan y completar huecos, que el examen real no usa en la opción múltiple, porque recordar un término cuesta más que reconocerlo en una lista. Hazlo de una sola vez, lee cada explicación y deja que una respuesta fallada te señale una unidad, no solo un dato. No practica los ensayos. Para eso, elige una fuente, escribe una tesis, respáldala con dos pruebas concretas y explica por qué importan el autor, el público o el propósito.
