| I've been studying really hard, but I'm not going to become overconfident. I'd rather be surprised and happy than surprised and disappointed at my score. |

| I often try to avoid disappointment by setting my expectations low.
Heck, if I manage to get a 3, I'd cry tears of joy. I'm terrible at FRQ (I get like 2-4). My teacher gives a bunch of practice essays but never tells us how to improve. I really want to see an example of a 9 essay. | |

| Add another to that list.
I'm trying to keep my hopes up, though. I had an awesome teacher, but w/ about 3,000 other AP tests to study for, I'm just hoping not to get sub-3. Or else said awesome teacher will burn my house down. | |

I thought it was really helpful to look at the presidents in chronological order and just figure out what happened during their presidency. It helps with | |

| anyone? how difficult are the AP MC compared to the REA & AMSCO MC?
Are you better off omitting than guessing? On REA MC, D has been guessing and getting 42 right, 24 wrong, 13 omit. She has gotten several wrong even when she can eliminate 2 choices.
Thanks! | |

| ....freaking out.... o______O
But I got a 5 on AP world last year, so i'm hoping that my good history test karma will continue. I hope we have a DBQ as easy as the Han/Roman empire that was on teh world exam last year!!! That would be awesome! But with my luck, it'll probably be on trust-busting or the new deal or something horrible... | |
