2010 AP United States History Discussion

<p>anyone else write essays 3 and 4? I think my essays were pretty good</p>

<p>I found it very easy. For MC I believe I got 6-7 wrong at the most and I left 2 blank. For the DBQ I wrote 3 pages and used 6 documents. I incorporated a decent amount of outside info. As for the other 2 FRQ’s, I beasted the first one and did well on the next one also. Expecting at least one 7 or higher for an essay with rest either 6’s or 7’s.</p>

<p>^ I wrote 3 and 4. I was kind of general and not specific on number 3 but I included a bit of outside info. Hoping for a 4-5</p>

<p>when can we start discussing the MC? is there an embargo on that?</p>

<p>yea i wanna kno too</p>

<p>We can never discuss the MC :&lt;/p>

<p>we can’t discuss the MC period</p>

<p>Thats disappointing</p>

<p>Why can we discuss SAT questions but not Ap questions?</p>

<p>due to the fact that 60 people have clicked on the link, I’m reposting [AP</a> Pass - AP Us Calculator](<a href=“http://appass.com/calculators/us]AP”>AP U.S. History Test Score Calculator - AP Pass) for convenience</p>

<p>some of the AP MC questions will be reused in future years</p>

<p>Does anyone know by how much the numbers for a 4 on the Appass website are accurate? Also, do you guys think it will be a 85.0/180 for a 4 this year as well? And a 108/180 for a 5?</p>

<p>The numbers on the website were the grading scale for the 2006 or 2008 test I believe. The Collegeboard changes the numbers every year based on how well everyone does; if it’s a hard test, they will have an easy grading curve</p>

<p>so the calculator is not perfect, but it should be within a few points of the real thing</p>

<p>So… would you guys say this was hard, medium or easy test?
I thought it was medium, MC wasnt too bad, DBQ was alright and the FRQ’s were alright</p>

<p>Yea, what would you guys say the cut-off for a 3 would be? Did it ever get higher than 75?</p>

<p>I think this is an easy/medium test because the MCs were so easy. I’m pretty sure there are plenty of people who got a 80/80 on the MCs. In fact, most of the MCs were in Crash Course.</p>

<p>The DBQ wasn’t that hard; it just surprised a lot of people. Ironically, it was actually someone’s prediction on CC.</p>

<p>The FRQs were pretty easy. In my opinion they were much easier than the DBQ.</p>

<p>I had never really studied how to write a dbq. I thought I wrote a really good one but this thread has gotten me somewhat nervous. I used about five of the sources, but by “used” I mean I quoted them or referred to them or something really quickly. For hte most part I drew on outside information (mainly ideas, not as many facts). Will this really hurt me? Or can one get a good grade on it like this?</p>

<p>I thought it was WAYY better than I expected.</p>

<p>But I think I screwed up because, for the FRQ #2, I wrote about Mexican influx of immigration 1945-1985, and I’m not even sure if that’s true…</p>

<p>I loved one MC with a picture. Everyone complained about that because they hadn’t learned it… I don’t know how to say it without giving it away. I’ll just say red liquid.</p>
