<p>The essays are weighted equally. MC is 55% and essays are 45% though, iirc</p>
<p>They’re all equal. I wish the synthesis was worth more though.</p>
<p>Synthesis was REALLY easy.</p>
<p>The second one was challenging, and my intro paragraph basically sucked, but I think I analyzed everything properly.</p>
<p>Third one was super simple, but I was worn out and it probably wasn’t worth much.</p>
<p>Maybe 7, 6, 6? Maybe less >> Hopefully not.</p>
<p>MC was decent. On my Barron’s practice, I skipped 10, got 13 wrong, got 31 right. On this one, I finished all questions and didn’t skip any. </p>
<p>I’m hoping for a 4…hoping so much I didn’t waste $86…</p>
<p>I feel like I did really well, but I don’t know. I didn’t take a formal AP English class (school only has honors here), and the only prep I did was a collegeboard sample test which I killed (like 51/55). The only problem is I went into the essays without knowing much about the section. I felt my essays were good, but I don’t know what the AP standard for essays is haha…cept for US.</p>
<p>Yeah, I agree helljumper. My second essay was soo circuitous, I totally relied on my BSing skills.</p>
<p>no…mc is 45% and essays are 55%, not the other way around</p>
<p>@helljumper…i know what you mean, my synthesis was my strongest essay…if you managed a page and a half and it was coherent, i’m guessing you prob got 5’s on those essays</p>
<p>Would it look really bad if one of my examples was about sports? (NBA). I basically had a full body paragraph using this example.</p>
<p>^ i dont think so. i used one everyday non-historical/literary example too… i HOPE they dont look down on it</p>
<p>there was nothing you could analyze about that second essay
nothing!! it was all in black and white…it’s not a type of complex work that’s intended for analysis =[ dangittt…i mean…you can analyze that piece in two words. “irresolution. bashing.”</p>
<p>I’m SO glad I’m not the only one who couldn’t find much to analyze in the second essay. I was a little worried that I didn’t have enough.</p>
<p>There were plenty of undertones if you really read into it.</p>
<p>I mean, when you really step back and analyze it you’d see that it was really a political power struggle between the haves and the have-nots.</p>
<p>yeah the undertones were there right in the text. lol. it’s not like perhaps this author felt…or these elements contributed to this sense…or yeah. it was all blah blah</p>
<p>All I found in the second essay was humorous diction and anaphora.</p>
<p>…and that’s all I’m saying because I don’t want to get invalidated…</p>
<p>i used an NBA example for the 3rd essay as well i think it should be fine</p>
<p>so yeah that mc was ridiculous</p>
<p>and im really glad i skimmed over that small paragraph in cliffs about the two different types of satire…</p>
<p>false dichotomy</p>
<p>Compared to the practice tests from Kaplan that I’ve been doing all year, this multiple choice seemed so much easier.</p>
<p>Just wondering. Were we supposed to talk about more than one type of issuefor the synthesis or was it ok to give 2 different examples of one issue?</p>
<p>false dichotomy? nope…</p>
