How many answers have you left blank?

<p>With every AP exam comes the opportunity to leave an answer blank if you have absolutely no idea what the answer is, to avoid the -.25 point penalty. What is the most you guys have ever left blank? I left about 5 blank on AP Euro a couple years ago, but I answered every question on APUSH and AP English Language last year.</p>

<p>And how did you do on those Exams??</p>

3

<p>4s on the ones without blanks, a 3 on the one with blanks. Not impressive by CC standards, but sufficient for credit. Think about it though, if you have no idea, you’re taking a random guess and risking the penalty. Leaving a blank here or there may not seem right at first, but it’s better than a random stab in the dark.</p>

<p>2009 exam:
AP Chemistry- I think like 10 or 15. receive a 5.
AP World History - 5-7(the modern history ones) receive a 5
AP Calculus AB - I believe around 7 blanks. receive a 5</p>

<p>Yeah, FR is all you got left if you left too many blanks on the MC. But the number I left blank is still good enough to get you a good score on the MC.</p>

5

<p>AP Human Geography:
I left around 6 or 7 blank. I got a 5.</p>

6

<p>For AB Calc, I left about ten blank, which is close to a fourth. For the free response, I left about a fourth blank too. I got a 3.</p>

<p>For Chem, I remember leaving about half of the answers blank for the multiple choice section and about a fourth for the free response section. I was really surprised to find out I got a 3 since I slept most of the time and didn’t really know what was going on in that class… =/</p>

7

<p>Mathematically, if you can omit one of the answers, then it is to your advantage to guess</p>

8

<p>I’m pretty sure it’s actually 2, atleast on AP Euro.</p>

<p>You get penalized .25 points for a wrong answer and with 5 possibles… you have to eliminate 2</p>

9

<p>0 MC
.5 FRQ ($%#$ Taylor polynomials)</p>

10

<p>pretty sure it’s just one</p>

11

<p>Eliminate 1 you break even
Eliminate 2 you have an edge</p>

12

<p>I’m pretty sure I left about 20 blank on the Multiple Choice on the AP Euro exam last year…
I wrote only half a page for the 2 FRQs and like 2 pages on the DBQ…
Passed with a 3… didn’t know how that happened…</p>

<p>Yeah I think this is right. My mistake</p>
