High School Class of 2014

<p>@000Chet I totally agree about the colonial times on the APUSH exam. I love them but we learned them so early in the year! Our version of the test was poorly balanced–it really only touched on colonial times and the late 1900s, as far as FRQs go…my teacher did teach Reagan and Johnson but she was rushed and thought it wasn’t supposed to be tested anyway…</p>

<p>Yeah we were rushed at the end too. We pretty much had to learn Bush and Clinton ourselves. But they’re weren’t a major part of the test anyway. I was surprised TR had no questions though. We spent a really long time on him. No Jackson questions either, if I remember correctly.</p>

<p>Those AP score percentages have made me even less confident. Before I thought I might have got a five on USAP, not so sure now.</p>

<p>@000Chet I was super surprised about the no TR questions too! I thought there was gonna be an FRQ/DBQ on him or something because there was nothing on the MC. He was my favorite President ugh</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>How the heck was Andrew Jackson your favorite president…</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Nvm. I read things too quickly…TR i know i know</p>

<p>FDR was my favorite–took matters into his own hands.</p>

<p>Yeah we spent forever on Jackson and both the Roosevelts. I was ready for a civil rights FRQ! Too bad I didn’t have the other form…</p>

<p>Can’t keep up with discussion, but FDR is my second favorite U.S pres after President Lincoln…</p>

<p>Calvin coolidge was cool</p>

<p>mmm… Can’t remember anything special about him except that he was a republican… oh well just like (mostly) every other republican out there after Lincoln! lol </p>

<p>jk. :P</p>

<p>My favorite is Washington, but my favorite personality is TR. I like LBJ’s personality too.</p>

<p>@harasNN omg. Calvin Coolidge. Didn’t he make his assistants rub Vaseline on his head or something?
I was TR for this Presidential March Madness thing in my APUSH class. I won. Can I put that on my college app? Lol.</p>

<p>Haha, Calvin Coolidge “Cool Calvin”. At least since he didn’t do much he didn’t screw up anything so I don’t know if it’s possible to hate him. </p>

<p>And here I am, the only person who didn’t take APUSH, I feel like.</p>

<p>How would presidential march madness work? What seed was TR?</p>

<p>Seeds? Whaaaa. We were each a president and we debated against each other. The winner moved up a rank, etc. It was pretty epic. For my final round, I ended up going against Nixon LOL.</p>

<p>TR would definitely be a number 1 seed. But I guess it would depend… are these to-the-death fights or is it a competition based on effectiveness as president?</p>

<p>1 seeds
Washington
Lincoln
FDR
Jefferson (?)</p>

<p>2
TR
Eisenhower (?)
Clinton (?)
Reagan (?)</p>

<p>The 2s were tough. I think Reagan is overrated and would have preferred Truman, but the masses would probably disagree with me.</p>

<p>Actually, after further thought, here are my 2 seeds.</p>

<p>TR
Eisenhower
Wilson
Truman</p>

<p>My top three are definitely Washington, Lincoln, and FDR. TR comes in at a solid #4.</p>
