<p>SunPenguin me too, but you can withheld your score for a fee of $10.</p>
<p>I made up some BS about the second half of the first FRQ. I was wrong..... I wonder if I will miss the whole question even if the first half was right.
The other two FRQs were so easy.</p>
<p>MC was so specific. I studied both the barrons and kaplan and took the class and I wasn't prepared for those.</p>
<p>Hey, MetalMeatWad, can you post the curves to the 2006 exam?</p>
<p>It's different every year. If you took he 2006 exam mc you would know what I mean by how easy that was comapred to today.</p>
<p>Yeah, but the curves don't change by much. A maximum of a 5% decrease. I think we would like to know the curve so we can predict what we will get.</p>
<p>EDIT: I heard you need a 70-120 to get a 5 on the exam. That's only 58% on each section! I would think I got at least half of both the MC and the FRQs right. And if the exam for 2008 is harder than 2006, then the curve would probably be lower! I would still like to know how much need for a 4 or 3 though and confirmation of this. Can you post the curve please?</p>
<p>Some of the MC questions were really specific and obscure. It surprised me a little. I skipped 16 questions. And of the 64 I answered, I figure I got at least 8 wrong...no more than 16. </p>
<p>I did well on all of the essays except for the first one. I forgot one of the youknowwhats. lol</p>

I thought the test was really easy, but I used Kaplan instead of Barron's for prep because Barron's was supergeneral.

<p>I bought both Barron's and Kaplan, and I ended up reviewing with Kaplan.</p>
<p>I had no time to think, cause some these questions were obsecure, so I ended up going fast, and not looking over what I put down, I skipped one, I should of Skipped more. Didn't they talk about the country a lot. (I cant say what country, but if you took it you know what I mean)</p>
<p>I took it and thought the free response was easy, besides the second youknowhats. </p>
<p>the multiple choice was INSANE. I took the class, studied barrons and I still felt really unprepared. I hope I at least got a 3. Crossing fingers for a 4/5.</p>
<p>The MC overall was easy .... The "type of housing used when you go camping" (4 letter word that starts and ends with a 't') was something I never covered along with some other regional questions.</p>
<p>I left that and another blank.</p>
<p>GENERAL QUESTIONS:</p>
<p>Can someone PM/tell me about Canada's Nunavut province. Thanks.</p>
<p>Also the FRQ #1 dealing with the 2nd model was crazy. People were asking each other in the back of the test room what it was...no one knew...I kept it very general on comparing it as I didn't want to get too detailed to be wrong. I will at least get half of all the points on that question...the other two were a joke, but depending on the graders' opinion on my third question they may not give full as I was in a rush thinking the FRQ was 60 mins vs the 75 mins.</p>
<p>I just looked up the second concept on FRQ #1 and actually I guess pretty much right, although my answer was a little sketchy. I thought it was better to give it a guess (like MC) then not address that specific little thing at all. After I finished the exam (along in the guidance office), my principal came by and said, "You got a 5 on that exam, right?" Let's hope so, eh?</p>
<p>The MC was stupidly specific. Barron's was too general.</p>
<p>Well, I'm glad to hear it wasn't just my class that didn't recognize the second part of the first FRQ.</p>
<p>OH, did you guys label each letter under each free response question?</p>
<p>^ I don't think it matter if you do or don't. I did.</p>
<p>ya im sorry but I think Kaplans is the best book of em all. I skimmed through kaplans and memorized the vocab and I know for sure that I got at least a raw score of 63. FRQ i beasted it with 8 pages :p</p>

<p>I didn't recognize the name and thought it was some agricultural model. Gosh, if CB would have just used the common name for that model, I would have totally aced it. I felt so stupid after. I'm not good at remembering names, and I didn't know who invented that model.</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>Hopefully, the folks who grade this first FRQ are going to notice that practically no one could successfully answer the second model. Perhaps they will take that into consideration (hoping too much maybe?)</p>
<p>By the way, do any of you know in what order the FRQ questions are graded? Do they divide the readers into three groups - one group for question 1 and so on?</p>
<p>Lmao. Everyone in my testing room was freaking out about the 1st FRQ too. Darn CB for being detailed and not giving away the common name but they kind of gave slight clues within the question by saying that the two models were similar.</p>
<p>I honestly don't think MC was too much harder than anything from practice/past tests. Human is one of the lowest scoring tests not because "stupid freshmen" take the AP and try to BS their way through but because of the obscure questions that come up.</p>
<p>Oh, and Sligh_Anarchist, a reader is only assigned one question to grade. Like my teacher was assigned #2 a few years back and he only graded the 2nd question.</p>
<p>^^</p>
<p>Well, as I have said earlier, hopefully all of the FRQ #1 readers will pick up on, what I suspect will be, a big trend in essays that are either guessing what model two is or just left it out. I am sure if the folks on CC have said that they didn't know what model two was, then the rest of the AP Human Geography test-taking population wasn't too familiar with it, either.</p>
<p>Well actually, a few kids from my class knew it or they made a guess and just wrote about the correct model. A lot of people on CC just studied from Barron's and it never called it that, which is why everyone on here didn't know it. I think I heard the name in my class but that unit was from a while ago and we never focused solely on the person's name.</p>
