<p>well then good thing I'm not taking AP World lol - I can't wait until APUSH next year SO MUCH EASIER at least at my school...</p>
<p>got the exam in like four hours!!! cram time</p>
<p>argh I have like 3 more chapters to do before I'm even slightly ready</p>
<p>i heard that last's year's essay was on woman,
so dont get confident</p>
<p>The AP exams are only offered once a year.</p>
<p>The Essay What It Is?</p>
<p>People are still taking the Euro exam in my school, I think they will get done around 4:30...That's another hour from now.</p>
<p>^Shucks :(</p>
<p>The Multiple choice was funky. Tons of questions were about the women and domesticity, and very few were political. The DBQ was straight forward--on a pretty big topic from the 16th century that comes up frequently in practice tests. And as for the other essays, lets say that going to a Jewish school where I took an entire course specifically on the history of European anti-semitism made it easy to analyze the topic in pretty significant depth.</p>
<p>DBQ was very easy. One of the frq's was a complete joke; extremely easy. In the other set, I had to think about them a while but they weren't too bad either. </p>
<p>The multiple choice had some weird questions on it, but it was simple overall.</p>
<p>**** i thought it was really hard... that dbq was ridiculous</p>
<p>The dbq wasn't hard. There was quite a few good pov's that you could include on that one, and it was easy to tie the docs together.</p>
<p>Btw, are we allowed to discuss what categories we made or is that breaking CB rules?</p>
<p>does my last post reveal too much? should i take it down? People seem pretty hesitant to mention any details</p>
<p>I wouldn't recommend talking about the categories, just to be on the safe side.</p>
<p>mc had about 20 questions on women
dbq was heaven sent
i TOTALLY called essay5 (see first post in this thread)
i'm feeling so amazing right now, i can hardly put it into words</p>
<p>anyone know the exact formula for grading? like for mc, number right minus 1/4 number wrong X 1.066 or something? then dbq score X 2.33 and frq scores X 1.22 each? i know im really off, but you get the jist.</p>
<p>anyone know?</p>
<p>1.125 x number correct - .25 x number wrong [for mc]
4.5 x every dbq point [1-9] = dbq score
2.75 x every frq point [1-18] = frq score</p>
<p>You need 122 raw to get a 5. </p>
<p>I think I got 7 on dbq + 1 frq, and I know I got around 66 mc correct, so I'm in the 5 range regardless of how I did on the 2nd frq.</p>
<p>122 is a 5? what are the other ranges?</p>
<p>3 = 70 points +
4 = 102 points +
5 = 122 points +</p>
<p>This is all from Mr. Treadwell, who is the table leader for grading the DBQ. He told us this at the AP Review that Broward County annually.</p>
<p>I feel really good about it! The DBQ was so easy, I'm pretty sure I hit everything in the expanded core ON TOP of the core so I'm hoping for an 8/9. It was really easy to pull in outside historical data for it. How specific are the biases supposed to be? I used about 5 examples of bias but I'm worried that I wasn't always painfully obvious about it. </p>
<p>I didn't think the MC was too hard either, I only skipped one. Was it just me or did the answers seem really easy to narrow down? Like there were some pretty obscure or obviously wrong choices that were easy to eliminate.</p>
<p>What FRQs did everyone choose? I was between 2 & 4 and ended up going with 4 and I also did 5. </p>
<p>Overall not very bad, a lot of the people in my testing class were saying they skipped like 20+ on the MC! Speaks good of the curve...</p>
<p>I did essays 4 and 7 mainly because I had reviewed those topics in depth recently =]]]</p>
<p>Yeah, some of the questions were odd, but it was very easy to narrow down.</p>
