<p>Hope I’m not violating and rules but for FRQ 3, do you think the US would fit the second one?</p>
<p>^You are. 10char</p>
<p>Is PR alone good enough for self-study or should I keep using Barron’s? Based on what people are saying is Barron’s even necessary if I have PR?</p>
<p>And how should the FR be written? In essays? Or short paragraphs/sentences? Thanks</p>
<p>This was the easiest AP exam ever!</p>
<p>ditto… I went from being calm to freaking out because people said not to underestimate it… so I totally OVERcompensated. Maybe this year was just easier. That was easier than my world geography final… a required freshman course… lol</p>

<p>You can delete anytime but if you select a college as a recipient, then you have to request before June 15th I think. Otherwise the college will definitely be informed. If you didn’t select a school though, then feel free to delete anytime you wish.</p>

<p>I thought Barron’s alone was sufficient. I don’t know about PR but if you’re really worried go for both.</p>
<p>The FRQs can be written as individual paragraphs. That’s how I did it. The test itself said something along that lines that you don’t have to answer in complete essays (with introductions and conclusions) but you shouldn’t write in point form.</p>
<p>Just answer each part of each question in a separate paragraph and don’t worry about it not being cohesive.</p>
<p>Oh, I see. Thanks for correcting me An0maly.</p>
<p>On PR’s practice test I got 71/75 on the MC. I DEFINITELY did not do that well on the actually test… : (
It wasn’t that i didn’t study enough but that I didn’t study the right things… PR was just not comprehensive enough.</p>
<p>Do you guys know the break-down in terms of what you need on the MC and the FRQs to get a 5?</p>
<p>They’re dependent on each other. If you suck on MC, you must do good on FRQs and vice versa. You must get a raw score of 70 out of 120 to get a 5 though, but that changes depending on the curve.</p>
<p>Does anyone know a general curve for a 3 or a 4? I cannot find it anywhere, and would like to know it. Also, could anyone provide a guess if no one knows it? Like, would around 62 out of 120 be around a 4, and 54 out of 120 be the cut off for a 3? Thanks</p>
<p>I bet it’s something like that, chess94. I heard somewhere that the general rule of thumb for 3’s, 4’s, and 5’s respectively is 3/8, 4/8, and 5/8. However, the curve for HG seems even easier than that, since 5/8 = 62.5% and 70/120 = 58%. My best guess is 58/120 (48%)=4 and 46/120 (38%)=3. Although it definitely fluctuates year to year, that is probably about right.</p>
<p>So this was my first AP test- Im a sophomore. Does anyone know the exact(ish) dates the scores will be released? Also, the yellow sheet they gave us with out number so we could call to find out the score, when can we call?</p>
<p>Around the third week of July is when you should get your scores in the mail. You can call around July 1st though.</p>
<p>Is there anything about my score that I can do once I get it if it’s not good? I think I did really well, but I just have no clue how to judge this test since it was my first.</p>
<p>I think you can choose to hide it from the colleges you send it to, and if you really did badly you could always retake it next year. I’m sure you did fine though.</p>
<p>Are we allowed to discuss specific questions yet?</p>
<p>We can discuss FRQs in 15 hours. We can discuss MC when we die.</p>
<p>We can discuss FRQ’s now, can’t we? It’s been well over 48 hours.</p>
<p>@puggly: For the 2006 curve, it’s actually 54/120(45%) for 4, and 39/120(33%) for 3.</p>
