<p>I spaced out during the mc because i was tired and i had no practice with that because my teacher did not enforce it. My first essay was good and my second was done well and third i was running out of time so i rushed. I think my biggest problem was timing. And the passages were sooo boring</p>
<p>Does anyone remember any of the MC?</p>
<p>Quick question: I wrote my first name in the last name box and last name in the first name box. Will this affect anything since they have the AP number label anyway?</p>
<p>Help anyone?</p>

<p>My favorite tone is controlling critically idk why doe. </p>

<p>Yeah I did solid… I had plenty of time for everything which I was very surprised by!
I thought the rhetorical analysis was difficult because I rambled for half of it, but I feel like I got a 7 or 8 on my synthesis and argument. I feel confident that I at least got a 4 but I don’t think the curve will help since everything was pretty easy.</p>
<p>Answer to my question would be appreciated.</p>
<p>The argumentative essay made me want to cry…</p>
<p>But the MC, Synthesis, and JFK analysis were pretty good for me. I’m aiming for a 4, but a 5 would be the best present in the world lol.</p>
<p>and @tymo77, It might make your score report come later, but to the issue of it not being graded, I doubt it.</p>
<p>I feel mediocre about the test. The MC was going strong until the last passage from the 1700’s or something. I only had 10 minutes left and after I read it I felt like I comprehended nothing, and I guessed on most of them. As for the essays, the synthesis was okay, the analysis went really well, and the argumentative was death. I think I’ll be borderline 4/3.</p>
<p>Now to get ready for World tomorrow…</p>
<p>So for me the MC went fairly well, I was able to answer the first three passages but the last one I had to reread like 3 times over becuase I was not understanding what it was trying to say at all so for most of the questions in that section I had to guess.
My synthesis and JFK essays were good, but I had spent so much time on those I had to do the aurgumentation one in like 15 minutes. x__x</p>
<p>I thought the MC was fairly easy up until the last section. I have had harder practice sections in class though, so it didn’t really bother me. I also took the SAT ii Lit exam and after taking that this seemed a lot easier.
I thought the FRQ’s were good. Synthesis-pretty easy/straightforward
Rhetorical Analysis- Talked about rhetorical appeals, not too bad
Argumentative- I was stumped for awhile as how to approach it, but basically said entertaining doubt was better than absolute certainty because doubt can fuel innovation
Maybe 39-44 MC
FRQ- 8, 7-8, 7</p>
<p>Same. MC was pretty average/actually easier until that last one. I read it… 3-4 times until I realized I STILL didn’t know what it was saying. So I answered about 5 of those with confidence and then I answered the others by… guessing :p</p>
<p>Synthesis: Meh. Boring. Not interesting at all. Easy, though.
Analysis: Boring. Is it just me, or were the prompts really unintuitive this year?
Argument: I laughed to myself when I read it. Then I realized I didn’t know what to write about.</p>
<p>These estimates are pretty conservative, but:
35-42 MC (LOL last passage; I always end up missing 4-ish anyways)
7-8 Synthesis
7-8 Analysis
8-9 Argument</p>
<p>oh my gosh, yeah…that last question was just a joke. the other two essays were pretty nice/easy to write, but the third i just totally BS’d. i’m hoping theyre going to be really lenient on that one, considering how ridiculous the topic was…</p>
<p>The MC was fairly easy but I hated the free response section. The synthesis question wasn’t too hard to answer and essay was well written but uninspired. I think I did really well on rhetoric analysis and im really glad we didnt have to analyze satire. My last free response was total bs…i ran out of time. Predictions:
45+ MC
Synthesis: 7
Rhetoric: 7-9
Argument: 4
Hoping i can still pull off a 5. Any predictions for the curve this year?</p>
<p>I really think I pulled a 5. We’ll see.
I’d be happy with a 4, though.</p>
<p>Here is the last one:</p>
<p>Useful Knowledge then, I grant, has done its work; and Liberal Knowledge as certainly has not done its work,—that is, supposing, as the objectors assume, its direct end, like Religious Knowledge, is to make men better; but this I will not for an instant allow, and, unless I allow it, those objectors have said nothing to the purpose. I admit, rather I maintain, what they have been urging, for I consider Knowledge to have its end in itself. For all its friends, or its enemies, may say, I insist upon it, that it is as real a mistake to burden it with virtue or religion as with the mechanical arts. Its direct business is not to steel the soul against temptation or to console it in affliction, any more than to set the loom in motion, or to direct the steam carriage; be it ever so much the means or the condition of both material and moral advancement, still, taken by and in itself, it as little mends our hearts as it improves our temporal circumstances. And if its eulogists claim for it such a power, they commit the very same kind of encroachment on a province not their own as the political economist who should maintain that his science educated him for casuistry or diplomacy. Knowledge is one thing, virtue is another; good sense is not conscience, refinement is not humility, nor is largeness and justness of view faith. Philosophy, however enlightened, however profound, gives no command over the passions, no influential motives, no vivifying principles. Liberal Education makes not the Christian, not the Catholic, but the gentleman. It is well to be a gentlemen, it is well to have a cultivated intellect, a delicate taste, a candid, equitable, dispassionate mind, a noble and courteous bearing in the conduct of life;—these are the {121} connatural qualities of a large knowledge; they are the objects of a University; I am advocating, I shall illustrate and insist upon them; but still, I repeat, they are no guarantee for sanctity or even for conscientiousness, they may attach to the man of the world, to the profligate, to the heartless,—pleasant, alas, and attractive as he shows when decked out in them. Taken by themselves, they do but seem to be what they are not; they look like virtue at a distance, but they are detected by close observers, and on the long run; and hence it is that they are popularly accused of pretence and hypocrisy, not, I repeat, from their own fault, but because their professors and their admirers persist in taking them for what they are not, and are officious in arrogating for them a praise to which they have no claim. Quarry the granite rock with razors, or moor the vessel with a thread of silk; then may you hope with such keen and delicate instruments as human knowledge and human reason to contend against those giants, the passion and the pride of man.</p>
<p>Omg how did you get the last one</p>
