<p>I read some statistical analyses online that in the past, the stronger students tended to choose one frq over another…does this mean that the graders are biased towards the questions and tend to grade you based on whether you chose the “easier” or “harder” question?</p>
<p>It may seem like it, but I remember reading specifically on the packets that no essay is worth more than another. I also thought what you thought! No worries. Did you pick 2 & 5?</p>
<p>I’m taking the makeup on Wednesday…it’s not an official thing but there are just some topics that are “harder” than others, for example i read that in 2008 or something 80% of the highest scorers chose the Cold War topic and the other 20% generally chose the 1920s</p>
<p>I think I read the same article… And it’s probably true (well, it is) that the “smarter” kids are choosing harder topics. But if a grader were to give more points to a kid who wrote on a perceived harder question then everyone’s grades would not be true to their work</p>
<p>Yeah, guess you’re right. Sure hope that’s the case</p>
<p>Best of luck! It wasn’t nearly as hard as I thought it would be. But I believe that they change it for makeups. Good luck!</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
