After the practice test
Trace who controlled capital, land, labor, infrastructure, and the terms of exchange
If you missed global-economy questions, draw the commodity chain. Identify where the raw material was produced, who controlled land and labor, who financed transport, where processing occurred, and which consumers or industries created demand.
Economic imperialism does not require a flag over a colony. Foreign debt, concessions, treaty ports, extraterritorial rights, customs control, and investment can reduce a state's room to act even when it remains formally independent.
Do not treat rising exports as proof that everyone benefited. AP questions often reward students who distinguish total economic growth from the distribution of land, wages, profits, taxes, food access, and political power.
Your next targeted practice
Once you can explain your misses in evidence-based sentences, finish with causes and effects of global migration to keep building Unit 6 reasoning.
