AP English Language Exam Thread

<p>I answered 50 MC, let’s say I got 40 right (just picking a middle number)</p>

<p>7+ on first essay
6+ on second essay
5+ on third essay</p>

<p>Could that be a 5?</p>

<p>I answered all the multiple choice, know I got one of citation questions wrong. I was so ****ed off at the last passage because it wasn’t in paragraphs. I’m going to say I got about 45 points on MC.</p>

<p>Spent an hour on synthesis. Pretty solid, but didn’t proofread. Expecting 7+
Spent 40 minutes on analysis. Covered most of the obvious stuff. Again, didn’t proofread. Expecting 6+
Spent 20 minutes BSing the last one. Expecting 3+</p>

<p>Is that a 5? or a 4?</p>

<p>I know a girl who stopped going to HS (goes to the local CC now) in January, and she came in and took the test today, but she had taken the class last year. haha</p>

<p>I skipped 3 MC, and generally thought it was pretty easy. Got 85-95% right, i’d say
RSQ - Tricky, it REALLY depends on the reader for this one, but it was a 7+ i’d say.
2nd essay - HATE, wrote it last. the only redeeming part was the 4th paragraph. 5, maybe.
3rd essay - Really easy, 8+ </p>

<p>I’d say I got a 5.</p>

<p>MC was surprisingly not that bad. I know I got one wrong…grr, and probably got a 40+ on MC</p>

<p>1st essay: not bad but I didn’t like how they framed the question, 6ish?
2nd: bleh, 5ish?
3rd: liked it 7ish</p>

<p>What score would that be?</p>

<p>I can’t believe the exam was so easy. It was as easy to read as an ACT passage except for maybe the last one. Realistically, the questions were more difficult and complex but I thought the difficulty of reading was similar to the ACT. </p>

<p>I’m expecting a 4, but possibly could get a 3 or a 5. I usually do really bad on the multiple choice, and since this one was so easy, it’s hard to say what I actually got. I would say my first essay was a 7 or 8, second was a 5 or 6, and the last one was 6 or 7.</p>

<p>So, looking at all of these posts…the second essay seemed to be the most difficult?</p>

<p>Yeah I felt the MC was pretty easy</p>

<p>Im expecting like at least 40/54 on the MC</p>

<p>On the essays:</p>

<h1>1: Depends, most likely 7+…</h1>

<h1>2: 6/7ish?</h1>

<h1>3: Definitely 7+</h1>

<p>Is that a 5?</p>

<p>I thought the mc section was pretty easy. I problem got 4 max wrong. Also I thought I did really well on the first essay, and ok on the second and well on the third.</p>

<p>I was going in expecting a 3 or so, considering I put this class behind my 5 other APs in terms of priority because of time constraints. It was easy to maintain a GPA, not much to study for and not many essays. The teacher didn’t prepare us, so that’s why I expected a 3, but I really do think I got a 5. Was not expecting it to be that easy. Wrote 5 pages (of actual quality) for each.</p>

<p>sd6 did you fill up the whole book?</p>

<p>MC: 35-40 right, 2 skipped.</p>

<p>1st: satire, so idk. Depends entirely on the reader. So maybe 9, maybe 3.</p>

<p>2nd: really formal, super generic, but I did tone + theme + voice + figurative language, so I feel like I hit all the major things. 5-7, probably.</p>

<p>3rd: again, super generic, really repetitive. Probably like a 5.</p>

<p>Does it matter that I didn’t go in order? I did 1, 3, 2.</p>

<p>No, I had like 2 pages or so left.</p>

<p>Order doesn’t matter, that’s why they give you the option of putting the number at the top.</p>

<p>I found it odd that for APUSH they had you circle the number of the question whereas for AP Lang they had you write it in.</p>

<p>How did you write 5 pages for each one and have 2 pages left? Are you counting each side as a page??</p>

<p>@TQSMNTASP, yeah of all the three I have taken so far the FRQ Booklet has been different. I wonder why that is.</p>

<p>I think it was fair. I got a 4 or a 5.</p>

<p>Yeah, my first one was kind of satirical and harsh in tone. I think it was effective, though it might offend people lol.</p>

<p>Yeah this exam was surprisingly easy. The essay prompts were interesting as well. I especially liked the second one. I noticed some people saying that 5 paragraph essays might negatively effect your score. Why is that? And I got to legitimately reference the Kanye West quote in the 3rd essay, which was internally satisfying when I thought of it. Once I thought of it I had to put it in :)</p>

<p>IT WAS SO MUCH FUN! The essays were great and the readings were easy and the whole thing was easy (except for a panicky moment when I thought I was going to run out of time) and it was just so FUN. I want to take it again.</p>

<p>I know exactly what you mean ryancj11. I felt like my first one was like super-liberal to the point of offense.</p>
