AP Central FRQ Scoring Guidelines and Sample Responses

<p>AP</a> Central has scoring guidelines, statistics, and commentaries on sample responses for all of the essays over the past few years. Does anybody know how long it take after an exam before they are posted for a current year? I'm chomping at the bit to compare my responses to the scoring guidelines for this year.</p>

<p>I thought it was a little late last year, something around the time that I remember going back to school (September).</p>

<p>Blah. I need to learn the art of patience.</p>

<p>Is anybody else excited to see whether one of their FRQs made into the sample responses? Maybe I’m just a nerd but I think that’d be really cool.</p>

<p>Hahahahahahaha, to be completely honest, that’s always been a secret hope of mine.</p>

<p>It would be cool if yours was an example of a “good” response, but they also give out samples of essays that got 1’s and 2’s. How awkward would that be, to get a 1 or a 2 and then have the whole school know it? </p>

<p>…But I agree it would be way cool to have a good essay picked as an example. :)</p>

<p>Yeah, that would be awesome. But I would want it to be for something cool like English or History, not for, like, calculus (although I could be one in the droves of responses that got a 1 or 2 on question 6)</p>

<p>I always check the box on the back when I feel that my FRQ responses are not going to be “good.” And as much as I hope they’ll all be “good” (most of us say that the tests go well), it’s pretty clear from the question when they aren’t.</p>

<p>Lol, I was also thinking that it might be cool to have your response posted as one of the good ones. Then again there’s no way to tell whose essay that is [other than you]</p>

<p>Well, for one, people could recognize your essays from your handwriting, but really, how many people from your school go on AP Central and look at the examples for that specific exam?</p>

<p>LMAO, nobody would know unless you tell them.</p>
