<p>^ thank you for confirming</p>
<p>anyone used Candide for the 3rd essay?..Kinda bummed out that I couldn’t go in detail about it…read it in sophomore year for AP Euro, lol</p>
<p>mc was easy</p>
<p>i bombed essay…cannot manage 3 essays for my life…and i dont think i can develop my ideas under time pressure very well because i’m not that great of a writer haha</p>
<p>hope i got a 4 Dx</p>
<p>Good thing I read this thread last night and learned about the the two types of synthesis questions that my teacher didnt talk about. I probably wouldve read right past that and just argued/defend/qualified had i not known.</p>
<p>I thought it was easy, but I always have this feeling that i might have screwed up by filling in the wrong bubble, or that one of my essays might have been slightly off topic. But I still think my synthesis essay might have deviated slightly from the prompt also.</p>
<p>Haha, “A Modest Proposal” was the first thing that jumped to my mind also.</p>
<p>Also, I found the MC to be easier than any practice tests I had taken. I was really confident going through, although I was really tired and had a headache so I spent time reading the passages and was worried I wouldn’t finish. I had time to spare, though.</p>
<p>Tell me if I’m sharing too much. but I used Bill Hicks.</p>
<p>Anyone else challenge the author’s viewpoint in the argument essay?</p>
<p>Do they care like if what you wrote is true? Or are they just looking for strong writing abiity and examples?</p>
<p>Cus I sorta bsed some of my examples (1-2), they sound legit, but if they quickly googled them or something and read about a bit, they would find out its not right.</p>
<p>@Hong + Dark: Did you guys agree or disagree with the statement in #3?</p>
<p>I used Candide.</p>
<p>I used Bill Hicks as well, man was a genius.</p>
<p>I almost used Swift, and figured that if it was the first thing to come to me then it was probably going to come to everyone else, also. </p>
<p>Instead I used Horace Miners essay “Body Rituals Among the Nacirema”, and Sam Kinision :)</p>
<p>I used Dr. Suess for the 3rd one. </p>
<p>:)</p>
<p>for the last essay…please tell me why i started talking about osama bin laden, ww1 propaganda, and some other stuff?? LOL. i took a risk…hope they like it.</p>
<p>I used the Simpsons and Arthur Miller!</p>
<p>I used Doonesbury and Monty Python. 
Easily the best AP essay topic I have personally seen.</p>
<p>Sorry if this was discussed earlier, but I’m having trouble figuring out how scoring works, exactly - this year was my first taking APs. If I omitted six questions, probably got a couple wrong, and wrote decent essays, what’s the highest score I could receive?</p>
<p>A 5, you can still miss half the MC and get a 5.</p>
<p>^Well yeah, if reginaphalange wrote 3 perfect essays then it’d definitely be a 5. However, he said he wrote “decent” essays… I guess that’d put him in the high 3 to mid 4.</p>
<p>Did anyone use Vonnegut for the last one?</p>
