| For frq #4, I misinterpreted the definition of, ahem, what the leaders wanted.....but still generally got out the same points as if I wrote in the correct context. How much do you think this will this affect the frq score by any chance | |

| Complete domination.
Multiple choice - Generally pretty easy. Only had enough time to check over half the test, though. Didnt leave many blank.
DBQ - 5 pages (8-9). Easy to talk about topic, they esentially created the thesis for you and it was easy to get the sources to line up with the thesis. Used all but 2 sources.
FRQ #2 - 3 pages (7ish). Fairly difficult because you had to reach so far back in US history! Once you recalled all that information from the beginning of the year, topic was easy to talk about.
FRQ #4 - 3 pages (7ish). Weird topics, but after getting a rough idea of what they wanted, they were easy to talk about. | |

| for the 2nd FRQ (#4), i defined the term they gave us incorrectly. i defined it as the exact OPPOSITE as the true definition, so my thesis is wrong basically. however, i used correct historical data to back up my opinion...
how much do you think will they take off for that? is it considered a maj. error? | |

| if you don't answer the question.. or your thesis is entirely antithetical of the questions being asked, the best score you can receive is a 4 or a 5
or at least, thats for a paper with no thesis.
But in your case it could be different, but the AP readers are looking for content based on the question so it may be considered irrelavent and lessen your score. | |

| I used all the documents on my DBQ...I was so relieved that it was fairly simple! If it had been like the DBQ last year, I would have been really screwed.
My lengths were 4 for DBQ, and 2.5 for the other ones. It seems about average.
I felt better about AP Lit, though...we'll see.
Also, Narcissa: You never get your specific section score. It only says the test date, the test name, and one number, from 1-5. That's what my Calculus score report got.
What's cool is that the score report is cumulative, so it will say my Calculus, USH, and Lit scores this year, even though I took Calc last year. | |

| i definitely guessed on quite a few of MC, but most of them have turned out to be all right. two wrong and counting?
and i am so thankful for the DBQ, although my paragraphs were not evenly proportioned. i had like five documents for one, two for another, and three on the last one. needless to say, the first was a monster paragraph.
and the FRQs were choosing between a bad topic and a really bad one. i was very very vague here because i couldn't remember specific names of a lot of stuff. for number four i didn't even know the main term and i just wrote about the time period and what happened during then. thankfully i got the gist of it  | |

| multiple choice kind of surprised me since they had a bunch of stupid authors and miniscule little things that no one really pays attention to when they learn about history... skipped 3 got probably ... 10-15 of them wrong? my middle row was marked with a bunch of dots that stood for questions i had to go back and double check on... retarded.. grrrrrr
dbq- loved it. but then again i might be overconfident and whatever..
frqs.. i chose #3 and #4 because i forgot about years.. my fault i guess.
i guess i'm just hoping that my essays will make up for any stupid things that i did in my multiple choice.. i'm kind of on the border :[ | |
