**2011 APUSH Official Post-Test**

<p>so garvey was during that time period?? good i put him there. how much off if i accidentally mentioned garrison?</p>

<p>^yes back to africa…i mentioned him too! during the 20s right? how much off is i mentioned garrison? who was in the 1820s…wrong period</p>

<p>ahhaha did the same thing!</p>

<p>Yeah. I thought about Garrision and I was like…uhm no.
Does anyone know if we get to see essay subscores on the report?</p>

<p>@dudeofswim</p>

<p>You do not.</p>

<p>The multiple-choice was fairly easy, although there were some that were not so easy. i’m guessing anywhere from 60-70
DBQ was meh. I wrote a lot of outside information, but didn’t write so much about the documents. No more than 8 or so sentences with stuff relating to the sources.</p>

<p>Some of the outside info i used for the DBQ include, but is not limited to: George Kennan, Massive retaliation, detente, Vietnamization, Paris Peace Treaty of 73, napalm, Rolling Thunder, Israel, OPEC, oil embargo, hawks, doves, counterculture, Kent state, Jackson state, sit ins, MLK’s assassination, black power, black panthers, Stokely Carmichael, Viet cong, Saigon among other things that i cant remember. </p>

<p>Some of what i forgot: Ho Chi Minh trail, agent orange, Yom Kippur War( although it’s related to Israel), the pentagon papers, NSC-68, SNNC, and Malcom x’s assassination.</p>

<p>the FRQs were pretty straightforward, except for me messing up Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington. hope they don’t take off too much since i did talk about what Washington did, just had the name wrong.</p>

<p>Overall, i’m hoping for a 4 or 5</p>

<p>for me the multiple choice was pretty easy, the DBQ was too. THE FREE RESPONSE WAS HORRIBLE THOUGH :confused: well the first one…i chose #2 and #4…</p>

<p>i talked about robert frost for like 3/4 of a page on my dbq, i better get bonus points for ridiculous outside information haha</p>

<p>Ho Chi Minh Trail…that was the name. I muddled my way around it, saying that Nixon knew that NV were going through Cambodia and stuff.</p>

<p>I don’t get why we can’t discuss MC on here. On the SAT II threads, they discuss multiple choice all day long. Same rules here, both CollegeBoard.</p>

<p>What was the question with Cotton Mather related to?</p>

<p>^I believe the very last question on Form Q.</p>

<p>I’m going to rate everything from 0 to 9 (9 being hardest), since that is easier for me.
A 4.5 is what i would consider a decent test.</p>

<p>MC: 4
DBQ: 4.5
FRQ B: 7
FRQ C: 8</p>

<p>So yeah, the MC was pretty easy, the DBQ was fairly easy, the FRQ B was hard and the FRQ C was really hard. Still, I’m keeping my fingers crossed for a 5, I hear the curve is pretty good.</p>

<p>Yeah i found FRQ C was very hard lol, but FRQ B was really easy for me. The MC was really easy imo.</p>

<p>I love how you guys kick yourselves over minus 10… I’m hoping to get at least 50%…</p>

<p>Yeah it’s like all the people on here who say their extra-curriculars sucks but they have 50 of them and are class president and stuff. There’s a difference between having bad extra curriculars and have ones that don’t get you into Harvard. Just because you didn’t get into an Ivy as the class president and leader of 5 clubs doesn’t mean you wont get into every other college XD</p>

<p>So yeah I’m banking on a 5 because I actually found this relatively easy compared to World, and I got a 4 on world without studying all year… so lucky I must have wrote a good DBQ or something</p>

<p>Now here is where we see who actually read the book and those who thought they could wing the exam. If you slacked off then I have no question about it, you failed.</p>

<p>For all those who thought they could wing the exam then we will see you in US history to 1865 and us history past 1865. Did I mention that both classes cost 500$ tuition and require a 150$ textbook? All coming out of your pocket since you slacked off. Not to mention that you’ll have to relearn us history all from the beginning again.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s not entirely true, a couple of my buddies last year both got B’s in the class because they slacked off somwehat and decided not to study for the AP test, but still got 5’s. My school has a pretty strong record with the exam, which is why I also feel confident that with my level of preparation I should get a 5.</p>

<p>The MC for this test was the hardest part. Lots of trivia questions, and you couldn’t use the whole: “Does it fit with the themes of the era” technique. I missed like 8 there, probably. The DBQ was really easy, but the documents sucked. The FRQ were pretty good. MC was killer…
Compared to Euro (last year’s) the MC of APUSH was much harder and the DBQ and FRQ were about the same difficulty.</p>

<p>So seeing as it’s been 48 hours from the test. Now it’s legal for me to discuss.</p>

<p>MC - hoping to get at least 50% right to keep up with my writing to pass with a three.</p>

<p>DBQ - discussed Energy Crisis, inflation, peace with NAM and watergate. Energy, inflation, and nam were explained by how he tried to cool americans down. Then watergate how his presidency was filled with secrecy.</p>

<p>FRQ B -2- First paragraph talked about the triangular trade as their origin. Second paragraph talked about starting with tobacco, and then the colonies wanted more and more slaves with cotton.</p>

<p>FRQ C -5- First paragraph contrasted the two eras with Booker T- Niagara Movement and then Malcolm X - Black Muslims. Second paragraph compared the two eras with W.E.B. Dubois - NAACP and MLKJ - Southern Christian Leadership Conference. </p>

<p>I feel like I did overall well on this exam after pre-test stress and post-test overwhelming emotions of finally being done.</p>
