2010 AP United States History Discussion

<p>haha i did not get one drop of sleep night before test…i just stayed up staring at the clock for 8 hours trying to go to sleep but some strange reason i couldn’t…so i read like 7 chapters in amsco until sunrise…for some reason felt wide awake, and took the test…maybe it was divine intervention idk lol and those 7 chapters helped me on both essays;)</p>

<p>I really don’t know why people are sharing specific answers. Did they not hear their proctor at the end of the test?</p>

<p>Anyways, can someone please comment on appass.com. I calculated that one could get 55/80 and 8,6,2 on the dbq and free responses respectively and still get a 5. Is this true?</p>

<p>^That may have been true in a certain year, but the curve fluctuates every year, so take it with a grain of salt. I think AP Pass uses formulas given from past released exams… With a 55/80 and an 8,6,2 on the essays, I think that would be borderline 4/5.</p>

<p>^That would probably get you about a 4.</p>

<p>The formula our teacher gave us was </p>

<p>Number of correct MC - (1/4)(Number of Wrong)</p>

<p>DBQ Score x 4.5
FRQ Score x 2.75
FRQ Score x 2.75</p>

<p>You add all of these scores together and the scale for a 5 is around 114-180. </p>

<p>A 55/80 and 8,6,2 would get you around a 106-107 I think.</p>

<p>didnt they also “use black for the 1st time in court”</p>

<p>MC: First 20 were super easy, then the rest were pretty hard with some really easy ones thrown in. I’d say 55/80, none left blank.</p>

<p>DBQ: When I left the test, I thought that I nailed it. We studied the subject in English last year, so I had loads of outside information. Turns out one of my examples was out of the time period by 40 years. Think “The Crucible.” Yeah. 5-7</p>

<p>FRQ #3: I wasn’t too specific here, but I think it was a decent essay. I just talked about its effects and didn’t go too specific into the laws and compromises. 5-8</p>

<p>FRQ #5: Honestly, I pretty much made this one up. For the first one, on sub*<strong><em>, all I knew about the subject was one picture I saw in a review book and its captions, and I wrote more than a page all based off of that one picture. And for imm</em></strong>*****, I had no clue and just talked about the end of the quotas. 3-6</p>

<p>In total, if I use my lowest estimates, and using the AP Pass calculator, I get a 4.</p>

<p>Also, to those asking about Documents: my teacher, who is an AP grader, said that the minimum number that each essay should use is about half. I used 6 out of 10.</p>

<p>@Vince011 - Don’t you also have to multiply your MC x 1.125? Usually the tests are out of 180 so 1.125 x 80 = 90, and then the other 90 comes from your free response.</p>

<p>AP Pass is ridiculously low.</p>

<p>Is that realy the real calculator?</p>

<p>If you used all of the documents but didn’t include too much outside info, what would your DBQ score probably be?</p>

<p>so wat did everyone basically think about each section on a range from 0-10 (10 being a joke, 0 being extremly difficult)</p>

<p>MC- 7
DBQ- 8
Essay 3- 9
Essay 5- 8</p>

<p>i bettr have gotten a 4 or higher!</p>

<p>On a scale of 1 to 10:
MC–6 (Some questions were super easy and others I was like WTH are they talking about!!!)
DBQ–5 (If I’d actually studied that time period it would have been easy since it was so straightforward)
Essay 3–9 (I just did a DBQ on that last week!)
Essay 4–6 (I knew my stuff, but after I wrapped up one paragraph and moved on to another I remembered something I should have put in the first body paragraph, so I threw in another paragraph randomly…so there’s no organization)</p>

<p>Hey guys, any guesses what would the essay score be for Q5 if half of my essay was correct and specific regarding suburbanization and the other half I screwed up on regarding immigration (I said that immigra. was restricted by quota laws, was I correct)?</p>

<p>for the dbq, my teacher says to use 1/2 + 2. there were ten documents on the dbq, so it’s a safe bet to have used at least 7</p>

<p>i used no substantial facts/suppprts for dbq. i was thinking about writing about the book one and the play one (er, if u guys kno what i am talking about) but then somehow taht didn’t quite transfer down to my hand!!! and then i walked out thinking…WHY didn’t i write those? WHY did i blabber about the same stuff over and over again/?? T.T</p>

<p>and mc were like…every time, i narrowed it down to 2 choices and had to guess. T.T i really wanted a 5 =[</p>

<p>APDude- you were partically correct until the 1960s</p>

<p>What do you guys think the curve will be on this exam?</p>

<p>im scared every1 thought it wasnt hard so the curve might b a bit tougher this year :/</p>

<p>What is it usually?</p>

<p>oh no. oh no. oh no.
NO NO NO</p>

<p>although last year i thought world was a joke & many other people thought so too, there were over 20 5s in the class … so who knows</p>
