I bombed the multiple choice, quite literally. I misjudged my time limit and ended up skipping twenty questions. If I miss another dozen or so, what do I need on my essays to get a 5?

When the test proctor said 30 seconds, i was like: Screw It, randomly scribbled a "THIS IS SPARTA! =]" and closed my booklet. lol

I'm pretty sure there is a VERY VERY low chance you got 70-75 MC correct, as only 3 students in the whole nation got 70+ MC correct last year.

Unless you're a history fan. In that case, all the props to you man.

(FRQ1+FRQ2) x 2.75
+
DBQ x 4.5
+
MC(Questions right-wrong 1/4 each) x 1.125
=

About 120-180 is a 5
About 95-120 is a 4
About 70-95 is a 3

These numbers change every year depending on the curve

Actually my history teacher told me that the curve has never changed regardless of how anybody does, and it isn't scheduled to change until 2010, when apparently Latin America will be incorporated into Euro.

Thanks for the numbers. Looks like I'll need triple 7's, which is... doable. =\

yea incorporating latin america would be stupid but i think it could be because there starting a honors latin american history class at my school next year so it could be a good way to get the ball rolling

I took Euro a couple years ago. Our DBQ was about sports and nearly everybody laughed when we all read the prompt.
