<p>lol oops I meant past few years, not past two years. My b…</p>
<p>@freestyle Good luck! I’m sure you did fine, and if you didn’t you don’t have to report it. But don’t worry; just relax until July :)</p>
<p>im worried about the synthesis, and honestly i dont think they grade too easy. That one person got a 5 and their essay was all right (or maybe im just way too easy…lol).</p>
<p>This might be a really dumb question but I honestly didn’t learn anything about the AP test this year. </p>
<p>How were we supposed to address the argumentative essay since it said ‘to what extent’?</p>
<p>My teacher told us it would always say defend, challenge, or qualify.</p>
<p>“To what extent” essentially means “defend, challenge, or qualify.” If his characterization holds true, you defend it. If it does not, you challenge it. If it partially holds true, qualify it.</p>
<p>@jroth456 Yep, exactly what @garfieldliker said. “To what extent” = “defend, challenge, or qualify.”</p>
<p>@Needshelp1212 Don’t worry; you should be fine for getting at least a 5 as long as you didn’t totally and completely **** it up, which I’m sure you didn’t.</p>
<p>hey guys…i just realized that i was completely off-topic for the last argument essay…
It was asking for America’s unity and I disagreed with what Thomas Paine said.
I dont know why and how i did this but…i gave two examples that were about ENGLAND, not America…
For example, i wrote about Virginia Wolfe’s The Room of One’s Own and how women, just like in the 1800’s still have hard time finding a place in society.
The other one was about the VIctorian Age and how many authors published works that addressed problems or controversies in society…and yes i must have been out of my mind…i COMPLETELY forgot that this was English lit, not american…</p>
<p>As you can see, my two examples were completely off-topic…
Do you think i could still get some points with this? cuz i belieive that although there certainly is a flaw with my examples, i well presented my argument through them…
I’m freaking out…Could any of you give me an advice?? what would be my score??</p>
<p>it was asking for america’s unity? Well Paine had a long paragraph there so there was a lot of things you could have done with the prompt. Like I talked about how the rich ARE privileged and the poor are stuck along with discussing america’s lack of unity </p>
<p>To your question im honestly not sure. Did you connect those examples to American society?</p>
<p>You could probably get a 4. But if you did well on the other 2 essays and the multiple choice, that could still be a 5 overall on the test.</p>
<p>Will my grade suffer if I took a side in the synthesis??? In all of my practice exams, they always asked you to defend/challenge/qualify, so I just kind of assumed this synthesis was like that too…</p>
<p>My synthesis was really good, included some humor, and was almost 4 pages… But I’m afraid I’ll be marked down to not “evaluating the issues” or whatever…</p>
<p>Strawberry; I took a side and from my understanding that was fine. I’m confident they will see i answered the question as well because one of my body paragraphs started with, "Another key issue associated with the locavore movement is ____. And why are you guys asking questions about it almost 2 weeks later. Quit stressing and just wait for july 1st…lol</p>
