<p>Let’s keep all discussion on the thread. Creating a tinychat defeats the whole purpose of us coming here. Making an instant chat means there’s no record of the collaborated answers/ unavailable to those who aren’t online. You have a higher chance of getting raped by a escaped giraffe than getting your score cancelled from posting here.</p>
<p>My 2 cents.</p>
<p>And @above, graders DO take off for errors in apush… It’s part of the rubric</p>
<p>@vemane: There’s a difference between answering a different question or completely missing main ideas and getting a fact or two wrong. Every single AP teacher I’ve ever had, plus numerous posters here, have emphasized the idea that Collegeboard gives you points for what you get right, not deducts for what you got wrong. Furthermore, in the rubric, it’s still possible to get a high score with a minor error or two. Is it an error? Yes. Does the poster need to worry about it significantly affecting his grade? Nope.</p>
<p>MC was fairly easy. DBQ was okay. The FRQ’s were crazy easy, especially #2 & #5</p>
<p>And that isn’t completely answering a different question. While technically a misreading, it is inherently a “time period miscontstrusion” which constitutes a MAJOR error => 1</p>
<p>Wait can someone tell me honestly what would happen if my thesis was a weak and off topic one but my essay was on topic and I clarified in my conclusion?</p>
<p>Well thesis is basically the answer so maybe a point or two</p>
<p>Okay so this really blows. I wrote a great essay for #3, the one focusing on foreign interests. Only it looks like I read the time period wrong to be late 19th/early 20th century when all of my friends are saying it was late 18th/early 19th century. Which is sort of weird to begin with since that question would make more sense around the whole imperialistic time period. Anyways I’m sort of freaking out about this. Do graders have any sympathy for things like that? My essay was really good but am I automatically going to get a 0?</p>
<p>Oops sort of didn’t read the above posts… But yeah… Props for doing the same thing as me haha I feel that question was really misleading</p>
<p>If for the DBQ I referred to the time period in question as simply “declaration of independence to civil war” for the sake of generalising do you think they’d get upset? I didn’t discuss any events out of the time period, just often said leading up to the civil war. Idk I feel like they wouldn’t care but maybe.</p>
<p>I also wrote about the imperialistic period for #3, sigh. looks like im ****ed</p>
<p>Wimmiet they definentley will like that because the slave tension did lead tithe civil war</p>
<p>The mercantilism FRQ was so misleading though…</p>
<p>Not to be mean about #3, but it definitely wasn’t misleading. It blatantly said “1789-1823” (1821? I don’t remember). It’s weird that so many people made that mistake.</p>
<p>**** my life. I did poorly on the mc :(</p>
<p>Everyone at my school thought it was impossible. I think a lot of kids on here are jaded by their schools or by fellow CCers. There is no way that, because this community thought the test was this easy, the “curve” will be completely and radically changed. Obviously it will fluctuate, but the differences are often negligible; that’s why these are standardized tests.</p>
<p>It wasn’t misleading as a question</p>
<p>I don’t know why I misconstrued it as such</p>
<p>but it’s curious that I’m not the only one</p>
<p>@Etshine what do you mean? Of course if you get 65 in MC there is a big chance you’ll get 5, at least I hope so.</p>
<p>I guess you are right, just in my mind it completely came out wrong I guess. Glad I’m not the only one.</p>
<p>is the make up going to be harder? i have to take it ugh</p>
