@JoeyPapagobich haha you’ll be fine. Maybe look up some of those things that tell you how many MC you need right + essay points to get a 5.
yeah… I already saw that and it does not help
@JoeyPapagobich how do you think you did on MC?
Yeah… I went on a rant how they brainwash us in ap history classes in my argumentative essay with the faulty statistic… It was so much fun.
Ehh… I think I was able to get 70-80 percent correct.
@JoeyPapagobich that sounds good- dont worry too much!!
Gaah… I guess I can not change anything now.
Thanks dartmouth_21 for putting up with me.
@JoeyPapagobich Lol! I hope you get a 5!
Are 2 examples enough for the argumentative essay? The scoring guide itself doesn’t say that it requires 3 examples but I’m not sure if I’m at a significant disadvantage…
Do you guys think curve will be harsh, generous or neutral? Personally I found the frqs easier than expected and mc medium.
@crowningflowers if you have good analysis of the examples and just general reasoning then it should be okay. @ambitionsquared ap curves kind of perplex me… most people found this exam easy. the essays could have been way worse. so if the curve does vary year to year, it will be harsh/neutral
Depends on how you used the two examples. If they were developed well and the argument was well written, two examples shouldn’t detract from your score
If you write four pages on two examples, then sure, why not?
College Board is woke af this year though
Does anyone know what is the min. percentage for MC needed to still get a 5? I feel like my essays were pretty good though.For the first question(synthesis), I spent a lot of time on and focused my point on three main topics and wrote a body paragraph for each topic. The prompt and sources given didn’t correlate much with one another and that made it hard to pick a side and write about it.Pretty sure it was also my weakest essay. For the second essay I tied in the historical perspective of what was going on in the U.S. and America’s changing relationship with Britain over the centuries(first it was indifferent, then bitter, and now after the death of Reagan, sympathetic). I identified a lot of rhetorical devices and even managed to find polysyndeton in the passage and I think i got the correct message of the passage. For the third question, I may have used too many examples: the migration of the homo sapiens into North America, the French Revolution, the Renaissance, and the themes expressed in The Great Gatsby. I had a lot of examples but I wrote about them very well. For MC i know i got at least 3 wrong, and maybe even more than that (around 10-15 wrong at most). What are my chances of getting a 5? I feel like my essays were strong but MC was very weak. @Dartmouth_21 and anyone else, can you help me out? I really need to get a 5 and don’t know if I scored well enough to get one. lowkey scared and panicking rn because of it. 
@Dartmouth_21 Thank you! That’s what I thought too, that they wouldn’t be so picky as to mark me down for a date since they’re reading it so quickly, but I just wanted to make sure.
Also, to anyone, for the argument essay, is it okay if I had 2 examples, and my 3rd example came in the form of a counterargument? So for example, my first body paragraph talked about strikes/the labor unions of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Then, my second paragraph was about the civil rights movement of the 1960s. My final body paragraph was started by saying that a common misconception would be that disobedience is harmful because it is inherently violent, and I went on to refute it with examples like MLK Jr. and Gandhi. Do you think this is an acceptable format?
@Maneighnah717 I think you need around an 80 on MC for a 5. You should check out appass.com though, I’m not that familiar with the Lang test. Your essays sound really good (I don’t even remember what a polysyndeton is LOL), and 10-15 missed on MC is not bad at all. I think you’ll probably get a 5, 4 at lowest.
I’m sure you got a 5, and this is probably not what you want to hear but even if you didn’t, EVERYTHING IS GOING TO BE FINE! Good luck!
I ran out of time for my argumentative essay and only ended up using a rather vague, not very coherent example and only managed to write a little more than 2 pages. I also repeated myself a lot towards the end… what’s the highest score I can get ?
Would an anysis of anecdotes be considered as a persuasive tactic. My examples for analysis were position of authority, parallelism, and anecdotes of Reagan’s achievements
@1601er I also used anecdotes as one of my devices, along with a serious but positive tone and contrast.
I think it’s fine. I was going to talk about parallelism but I wasn’t sure exactly how it helped her cause.
What do you mean by persuasive tactic though? I didn’t think the purpose of her eulogy was to persuade.
