<p>^ Nope. You shouldn’t get penalized AT ALL.</p>
<p>Although it does induce some reader/grader bias. 2 stems of that:</p>
<p>1) The grader is a total ******, and takes your “joking” as rebellious and superfluous, so he/she will feel your work is of inferior quality</p>
<p>OR </p>
<p>2) The grader finds humor in it, and grades your work accordingly. </p>
<p>As we all know, graders are people, so I’d go with the latter :D</p>
<p>You won’t get penalized if you don’t cross it out either, as long as its apparent its not part of your essay, meaning you wrote it on a blank page, or section.</p>
<p>I’m totally filling a page with “REDRUM” next year if i have time</p>
<p>I take my APs tomorrow…</p>
<p>but last year on Chem I wrote “We never covered this chapter, but here is the letter Q. Please enjoy.” and then drew an ornate letter Q on one of the free response questions.
and didn’t cross it out.</p>
<p>and i got a 4!</p>
<p>I gotta thank all you people who don’t know the material and just draw pictures and stuff; I bet you help the curve a lot! Haha but seriously, I like some of yall’s style who don’t even try to BS stuff you don’t know.</p>
<p>I found this thread hilarious, so I am bumping it.</p>
<p>I’ll start it off. Last year on the AP Gov i had like an HOUR left on the FR section, so i was like uuuuugh im bored.</p>
<p>So i drew 1 comic on each of the FR’s. So 4 little comics in total. Got a 5 =D</p>
