^Yeah, I think I did better on the essays than the MC even though most of the MC was okay. The only essay I really couldn't write about was the Turner, and the Baroque Arch one, but that was becuase when I was writing it I was not certain with my justification.

I hope short answers save me because I know all of the works of art shown except for the Augustus one.

Considering I self studied, I was pleasantly surprised, especially for the 10-minute essays.

Did African Nok mask and Great Serpent Mound for the first 30-min, Vermeer's The Letter and Migrant Mother for the second.

Stupid trains.... did anyone else say it was a Monet?

How about Rococo for the Arch essay?

The arch? You mean San Carlo alle Quatre Fontane?

I actually went with Caspar David Friedrich. Monet's a good guess, but I don't think Monet was from the right art-historical period.

I didn't get any of the slide-based multiple choice questions wrong, but I'm really passionate about the material (planning to major in art history).

The MC was just frustrating for me. But I'm starting to forget about it now that some time has passed. As for the essays, well, I know where my strengths. Other than the Turner (I called it a Monet or Manet, can't remember), I knew all the other ten minute ones. For the first long essay, I wrote about the Ka statue of Khafre (diorite) and the Reliquary of St. Foy (gold). For the second one, I did the Arnolfini Wedding and a piece from the Tête à Tête painting from Hogarth's Marriage a la Mode series (although I definitely DID NOT get the name of the painting right. I think I called it "Breakfast something." Oh well.) I'm only expecting a 3 really.

Got a 5 on the test. I wasn't really surprised though because I knew the answer to all the short-answer questions...but the essays and the m/c sections were iffy.

My college put up my score. Got a 5, which I definitely wasn't expecting. I thought my long essays and the multiple choice were shots in the dark, but I know I nailed all but one of the short answers.

Got a 4 (teacher called me to give me the result ) and was super shocked. Didn't do so hot on the FRQ's (100% I got a 0 on two of them, the one I /thought/ was "Monet" and the San Carlito one) so completely satisfied.

@Smarty1201: For Turner's Trains, I thought it was Monet. For San Carlito, I put Renaissance (so off... pulled a random time period from thin air) and how it was a combination of many different styles. In addition to that, it used marble statues that were detailed in the front. We didn't even get to the Baroque period, so I wasn't that surprised that I missed it.

For my 2 essays, I wrote about the Etruscans and Marriage a la Mode for the domestic space. I used the Statue of Khafre and the Queen Mother belt mask for the materials one. ;O Overall, APAH test was heck for me, but I'm glad it's over.

Some things I was seriously worried about: Statue of Khafre... throughout the whole essay, I was like.... what was the material called? You know what, I'll just say granite oh my god I don't have time for this. And when using Marriage a la Mode, I didn't refer to one single painting. Well, I did. I said it was a series of paintings, but I described one distinct one (the breakfast scene) but wasn't able to identify it. >___<
