<p>sigh…I messed up on the M/C, I left like 15-18 blank. the second passage was just too boring lol.</p>
<p>I screwed up essay #2, I did okay on #1 and #3, expecting a 3 lol</p>
<p>does rhetorical strategies mean diction, structure, style, tone stuff like that?</p>
<p>MC answered all except for 1; thought it was equal in difficulty or easier than the verbal section of the SAT</p>
<p>essay 1: spent more time than the others, not too bad 6-8 (4 full pages)
essay 2: decent 6-8 (3 pages)
essay 3: 20 minutes rushed (2 full pages)</p>
<p>expecting a 4 or a 5</p>

<p>@ wong, </p>
<p>Yeah for the second question it wanted you to go over some of the elements of the argument. I used appeals, tone, and structure for my main points.</p>
<p>Wasn’t checking the time… Only Just finished reading the last passage when time ended. ( think the proctor shortchanged us)</p>
<p>so… 42 questions done… one skipped assuming 75% of those are right (safe estimate)</p>
<p>Essays
1- Supported added some examples and explored the costs and moral dilemmas. basically refute + qualify.
2- Rhetorical analysis, analysis the argument for tone appeals and such?
3- Fun writing… wrote intro + slammed three examples… I thought this was a VERY fun one…
Went crazy about the media… (Colbert Report, Simpsons, Family Guy) and the brilliance of south park… </p>
<p>Conservatively 6-6-5…</p>
<p>Hoping for a 4, expecting a 3 (maybe 2…)…</p>
<p>How did everyone else do?
Did anyone else think the passages were really easy reads? and the questions 10x easier?</p>
<p>Just got done… the multiple choice was ridiculously easy compared to what we did in class. I was freaking out about that section all week to find out I was basically taking the critical reading SAT again :P</p>
<p>I’m not sure about the essays, though. I suppose I’ll see. My second one definitely sucked, lol.</p>
<p>I hope I did well on the MC. Everybody keeps saying that it was incredibly easy, but I didn’t think so. I was able to answer every question, though (always narrowed it down to two or three possible answers), and I only got two passage-based reading questions wrong on the SAT. We’ll see. I slayed the first two essays, so hopefully I’m looking at a 5.</p>
<p>MC was pretty easy, answered all of them and triple checked. probably got 90% of this part right.</p>
<p>EFF.
I don’t have the actual AP class so I hadn’t really prepped for the essay section, and like a freaking idiot I didn’t practice my timed writing myself, so I ran out of time.</p>
<p>1: Well-developed but only 2 long paragraphs with a sketchy conclusion
2: 5 paragraphs, answered the prompt but it felt really dry… there wasn’t a lot to talk about
3: 2 paragraphs. sucked. I had 10 minutes left at this point…</p>
<p>anyone wanna shoot me a prospective score for each essay just based on that?
and an overall one, MC + FRQ</p>
<p>MC was waayyy easier than the previous years/practice ones not sure on about 5-10 of them but took guesses anyways. Essays not too bad at least a 6 on all of them (hopefully better). What score do u need on essays to get a 5 with about 48 raw on MC?</p>
<p>@born4soccer</p>
<p>if ur MC raw was 48, 48x1.25=60
u need about 50 points on essay, so like at least a total of 17 (out of 27)</p>
<p>I hope I fived it. Like everyone has been saying, the MC was very manageable and I don’t think I missed very many. I wrote until the very end on my essays and I was pretty pleased with them. Now it’s the waiting!</p>
<p>@johnw377, a 5 paragraph essay means not that you USED 5 paragraphs but rather you split your thesis into 3 parts and wrote 1 paragraph for each part. That will earn you a max score of 6, but generally graders will give 3’s and 4’s for people who do this. It’s because that’s what you did when you were in 5th grade, and now that you are being tested on college material you need to prove that you can write without doing the 5 paragraph format. You can still write 5 paragraphs, just make sure you aren’t doing the 3 part thesis thing :).</p>
<p>@ListenLoud</p>
<p>How sure are you that the max for a 5 paragraph essay is a 6 and graders usually give 3/4 for it?</p>
<p>how bad is it to not have a formal conclusion–like in a separate paragraph??
on my synthetic essay i spent about 30 minutes extra on it…so i decided to just stop and move on. my opening and body is good, but i failed to go back and put a one sentence conclusion -_-…what am i looking at here? maybe a 6?</p>
<p>also OMG i had to write my last essay in 15 minutes!! for some reason i started talking about ww1 and ww2…hope it fit in…it was very superficiall and general -_-</p>
<p>hopefully the AP graders are nice</p>
<p>and YES the MCs were EASY!!! i was surprised</p>
<p>Definitely a 4, and most likely a 5. On the MC I only had about 6 or 7 questions that I wasn’t sure about, and I rocked the essays. Probably a 9 and two 7s or 8s.</p>
<p>Was MC hard?</p>
<p>I found that they were quite easy. I thought the first two were the most difficult (in comparison to the rest of the section), and after that it got easier every passage.</p>
<p>MC was a bit difficult</p>
<p>The three essays were ok.</p>
<p>@listenloud that’s wrong. for the style essay your specifically supposed to break it up into 3 sections based on beginning middle and end of the author’s argument. </p>
<p>they don’t want you to try to force it into a 5-paragraph essay but you’re not going to get docked if you do. it can be a good organizational strategy</p>
<p>MC = EASY
Q1 = EASY
Q3 = EASY
Q2 = Pretty hard.</p>
