<p>I know it's already over, but I would like to know what everybody thought. Where do you think you excelled? Where do you think you fell flat? Comment below!</p>
<p>MC was not nearly as hard as I thought it would be. My teacher’s weekly MCQ quizzes along with the practice tests I took were much harder. The synthesis was awesome; an easy topic to discuss with really good sources. The analysis was okay, though probably my weakest essay overall. And the argumentative was cake, I had a lot to say about the topic at hand.</p>
<p>When I looked at topics from previous years I was worried we would have some random, obscure thing to write our essays about for the synthesis and argumentative. Glad they were pretty recent hot topics in general. Feeling a 5!</p>
<p>I agree 100%… I just feel the rhetorical analysis wasn’t something that interested me, while the other 2 essays were.</p>
<p>The MC was terrible, but i kind of already figured I would do really bad on it, bc when I practiced yesterday I didnt do so well. But I am still so upset, I didnt finish on time. The essays on the other hand were actually not that bad. The synthesis one was clear and straight forward, the rhetoric was kind of hard but as i was writing I was able to find a lot of terms. the last question is ieh, whatever, not so hard.</p>
<p>I thought that it was all pretty easy except for the first multiple choice passage.</p>
<p>Yeah everybody I know complained about the first multiple choice passage, but honestly, I can’t recall what it was off the top of my head. Maybe it will come to me soon!</p>
<p>humans altering environment</p>
<p>In my opinion the first and third MC passages were beautifully written. I was trying to see if they gave an author to those lol.</p>
<p>Just wondering… Did anyone use evidence (books, current event, etc.) on the persuasion essay? Because I know that they normally like to see that but I totally forgot and am wondering if it will affect my score.</p>
<p>Were we supposed to write the third essay as an actual letter? I wrote it like a letter with writing “dear school district” and signing it “sincerely a square peg” (in my first body I wrote that there’s no use fitting a square peg (creative child) into a round hole (boring school system), was that a bad idea?? I still wrote the 5 paragraphs with a thesis tvough </p>
<p>I felt the exam as a whole was relatively easy, except for the second essay question…that was pretty boring.</p>
<p>@beachlover716 I used Frank Lloyd Wright as an example of creative thinking and the First Amendment of the Constitution for the counterargument. However, I know that many of the other people who took the test didn’t really have much of an example either. I know my friend used Fahrenheit 451 and The Scarlet Letter somehow, but yeah. ._.</p>
<p>@reb1rr I know many people actually wrote it like a letter; I think you will be fine as long as the substance contained within it is insightful and critical. :)</p>
<p>I just stuck with hypothetical examples and logic to be honest on the persuasive essay… Then a simile…</p>
<p>I used terms from ap psych in the creativity one like multiple intelligence and fivergent thinking and functional fixedness blah blah so glad I took psych because otherwise it would’ve been a yikes moment</p>
<p>I thought rhetorical was a horrible essay, in my opinion. There was almost nothing to write about. On the argumentative, I tried used important historical events and ppl to solidify my argument, The synthesis was okay for me, I qualified the argument and tried to grab pieces from back sides of the argument. Ultimately, I think I’ll get 7s on the essays and around 40-45 on the MC, making it barely a 5. Hopefully there will be a higher curve. Q2 on the FRQs was near to impossible.</p>
<p>Hey guys,
For the third essay, I wrote it as a persuasive/argumentative letter instead of essay… The content was written like a normal essay but I still wrote “To whom it may concern:” and signed my name and all that jazz. Do you guys think it’ll be okay? Other than that I think the test was fine. </p>
<p>anyone? ^</p>
<p>In all the ap lang exams, there has never been anything like this prompt for Q3 (as far as I know). At the same time, since the prompt explicitly stated that it was letter, I see no problem in using a letter format.</p>
<p>Lol so many people at my school used AP Pysch terms in the creativity essay</p>
<p>I felt very sketchy on the article about the judicial branch. On my mock exam, I got a total of 5 multiple choice questions wrong and 7s across all three essays. On this actual exam, I bet I’ll get like 12 questions wrong and a couple 6’s. O.o I wasn’t exactly in the best AP English mindset, sadly. On my persuasion essay, I wrote how T-Payne revolutionized the music industry with his autotune, and how Avatar revolutionized theater with it’s CGI (my point being that creativity brings enhancements unto our society). Again, not in a serious mood sadly.
…
Since I blew the mock exam out of the water, I’m really really hoping that I get a 5 on this exam because I’ll be rather sooty if I didn’t. Borderland 4 or 5, so it seems at the moment. </p>
