<p>Fair warning - do not talk specifically about the free responses within the next 48 hours, or the multiple choice at all. Let's not have any ETS shenanigans going on here.</p>
<p>Essentially, I found the multiple choice to be unusually hard compared to both the released exams and the Barron's exams I've taken. My worst case scenario grade is a 68%, but I've already discovered a few stupid mistakes I made, like forgetting the year of one really famous work and the genre of another. :-/</p>
<p>Free responses were deathly easy, assuming that I predicted all of the styles to be correct. Which I think I did. #4 made me extremely happy, and that's all I'm going to say for now.</p>
<p>Yeah, the MC’s were waaay harder than the actual practice tests I’ve taken. Worse case scenerio I got 34 wrong, which is a 70%.</p>
<p>The open endeds were easier than I thought they would be. I’m expecting at least a 2 for all of the short ones, a 7-9 on the nonwestern one and 5-7 on the other long open ended.</p>
<p>What percentage is usually needed to get a 5 on the test?</p>
<p>Really? I thought the multiple choice was very easy, the open ended were easier, but the short answers were REALLY hard! I knew 4 for sure, got half of 9 wrong and half right, and I’m unsure on the other two.</p>
<p>I thought MC was as expected, while the free response was fairly easy – especially the open ended ones! I definitely breathed a sigh of relief when I saw those haha</p>
<p>overall, not as bad as I thought. not at all.</p>
<p>I’ve been averaging around 80% on practice multiple choice tests, so I was very surprised to see my expected grade plummet to a 68%. There were quite a few 20th century artists I just flat-out didn’t know (or knew somewhat but stupidly put the wrong answer because I didn’t study them hard enough).</p>
<p>I was just upset that they basically ignored renaissance
I thought renaissance was supposed to be HUGE! I had it down pat :(</p>
<p>^dude i know!!!
I didn’t know number 4, if we had the same test. Number 8 and 9 in my book was great though.</p>
<p>^ Meh. I don’t care for the Renaissance. Too many Last Suppers, Enthronements, Virgins, and Annunciations to remember. </p>
<p>Slide based questions where most easy with a few really detailed and specific questions in my opinion. </p>
<p>Multiple choice was on the harder side with about 5 or so questions I never heard or seen before. </p>
<p>Long essays seemed kinda broad. I though the Non-European essay was especially accommodating. </p>
<p>Short essays where tricky. </p>
<p>Overall I think I got a 4, a 5 is a long shot but I’m hopeful. This test is like a cash cow for credit at colleges.</p>
<p>I personally thought this was the easiest AP test I ever took. Missed 5-15 max on the MC and the essays were a joke.</p>
<p>I thought MC was okay, but worse than I thought.
The long essay questions were normal, if not easy.
The short essays were okay, but I completely messed up on the easiest one >< Zero points there.
I think I’ll get a 4, but I was prepping for a 5. Oh well.</p>
<p>What percent do you guys think we need for a 5? I think I got about a 78% on the multiple choice but idk how harsh they are with the short answers… :(</p>
<p>What’s the highest score I could have gotten if I misnamed the artist on a short essay that asked for it but did everything else well?</p>
<p>Didn’t know much about anything that wasn’t…antique (not the period). Made **** up.</p>
<p>
I think a three out of four (highest); not sure.</p>
<p>I was upset with the lack of Romanticism or non-Western; I found the essay section somewhat easy, and the MC medium-to-difficult.</p>
<p>I am pretty sure a 2 is the highest. Do any of you guys know what the curve is?</p>
<p>Also, if I included 2 works in each essay that followed guidelines and talked more or less generally about the two (comparing and contrasting a little), with a short intro and conclusion, what do you think my point score for each would be about?</p>
<p>Also, is there a problem with comparing and contrasting in the long essays?</p>
<p>^^That’s what they pretty much ask you to do, minus the compare/contrast, and throwing in extra detail will never hurt you. As long as you didn’t leave out anything major, answered the prompt (I found the prompts a bit tricky this year–they were strangely specific about certain things), and didn’t make a major factual error, you sound like you did well.</p>
<p>
Slightly off-topic: everyone in my AP Art History class seems to despise Modern Art. (I personally don’t) It’s kind of funny, actually.</p>
<p>Multiple Choice: Borderline Easy --think I missed at most 20
Long Essay: Nonwestern was great, accomodating; the other one was alright. At worst I think, I pulled off a 6 on each.
Short Essays: Really Difficult
- Blanked; didn’t expect it; think i got a 1/2
- Glad they picked this: 2/3
- Alright: 2/3
- Good question. I knew it, but i blanked a little. 2/3
5.No idea. 0/1
6.This was a great question. I enjoyed it. 3/4
- Happy. Quote was great. He was my favorite. 3/4</p>
<p>at first I was feeling confident on the multiple choice but as I got towards the end it started dwindling down…I’m not sure how I feel about it.
I think it’s a little harder than the Barron’s and other tests I took, but we’ll see.</p>
<p>I blanked out on the essays. I don’t think i did well on those, but I expected that.
Although some of them I think I did good, I like number four or so? And seven or eight? Can’t remember.</p>
<p>But what really got me what the lack of non-western (teacher to student: you MUST prepare for that one essay that will specifically ask about that!) stuff and renaissance, rococo…and just about everything. hahah. </p>
<p>I feel I prepared for so much and yet…I don’t know. Asked everything else I didn’t know. Like modern architecture.
Haha.</p>
<p>What’s the highest score you can get on the long essays if you chose a good non-western work of art and included a good analysis/connection BUT chose a European work and got the title wrong (and therefore the description of what’s going in the picture) wrong? 
I’m referring to the first essay, specifically.
I got the artist right but I hesitated and got the title of the painting wrong.</p>
