I found the exam to be fairly straightforward - although the multiple choice section had me somewhat disappointed. There seemed to be far less sensation/perception questions than usual, among a few other things.

What did you think of the free response questions?

I'm a first time poster so hello everyone? ha.

StoneFrog: At first, I felt Question #1 was more intimidating but as I began to plan I actually liked the first question better than the second. I felt I did so much better on it.

Besides the essay, I'm guessing I got a 4? Really was hoping for a 5! I think I might just cancel and self study vs. taking the class again and take it senior year. (next year) My teacher is probably going to be disappointed. He was expecting a 5 from me. The only thing is I don't want it to be a 5 and me to cancel it but I don't think I could take my chances and deal with a 4 since Psychology is my favorite subject and what I want to major in. (Forensic Psychiatry)

I went in with a bad attitude (rough weekend) so I think that really contributed to my performance on the test. :/ What about everyone else?

Random but I heard from my teacher that the AP Psych 2012 test is going to be different? Can anyone verify that?

(Sorry, I usually ramble on about things).


Btw, does anyone know how to cancel a test?

I wish I could help with the MC list - I don't remember any of the questions.

I was disappointed with the free response, too! I was really hoping for a social psychology question.

For the FR I was hoping for a question involving the fields of Psychology like in PR! Or something to do with Abnormal Psych would have been nice~

any kind of therapy/abnormal FRQ would have been "fairer" than what they asked for their first FRQ... @pseudo, I think every test is changing b/c my latin teacher mentioned that in two years, Vergil will be a Vergil/caesar course and my APUSH teacher mentioned in passing that they're changing the curriculum and bringing it down to 4 answer choices.

Oh God, the multiple was terribly easy, with the exception of a few questions.

FRQ2 was so simply, but FRQ1 was just way too much. I wrote roughly 16 definitions for the first bullet point lol.

why would you call OTI in the first place? Opening the packets early would not make a large difference, and you jeopardized your entire school's scores (and yours). It sucks you got expelled, though, which is total crap

MC was super easy, FRQ 1 was also, FRQ 2 was so-so...
I still think I 5ed it, but I don't want to be overconfident

not to be a troll/jinx myself/seem arrogant, but the MC was the easiest thing I've taken all year. Seems like every question that would give me a pause I had studied right before or knew =). The FRQs on the other hand, meh. I mean, I think I did good but some vocab was tricky.

Leggo, what did your school do? Shouldn't they be proud that you were honest and refused to compromise on your principles?

Why call OTI? Because people were writing Part 2 early - and plus there's "whistleblower" bonus or whatever - they don't cancel your score (at least that's what OTI told me)
