<p>If you are a bad essay writer and want a 5, just know how the exam will be graded, 40% for will be for multiple choice, 20% for short answers, 40% for dbq and 25% for long essay.
usually a percent score from 65 to 75 ( depending on curve) will get you a 5 .Now if you manage to get 45 out of 55 of the mcq correct, half of short answer correct, 5 out of 9 on dbq and 4 out of on long essay; that will get you a low 70 percent which would be a 4 or a 5 ( most likely a 5). Good luck </p>
