<p>Would 1984 have been a viable candidate for question 3?</p>
<p>Also…what are the chances I could get a 4 or 5 given that I skipped question 2, did very well on question 1, did okay on question 3, and have 80% right on the MC?</p>
<p>I’ve never read 1984 but from what I’ve heard several other people used it so you should be fine.</p>
<p>And not very good. I would estimate a 3, but very close to a 4. Use the calculator at appass.com and experiment with different numbers.</p>
<p>Jfetrov: You skipped a whole essay?!</p>
<p>If you skipped an entire question on the essays, that’s already 9 of 27 possible points that you missed, and the essays are 55% of your grade. I would say you probably got a 3, though I may be wrong. Check appass.com.</p>
<p>=O</p>
<p>Oh well, minor setback.</p>
<p>Did anyone else tear up after reading the poem on the FRQ portion?</p>
<p>No, but I physically tore up the poem.</p>
<p>FRQ1 - easy, lots of stuff to use
FRQ2 - ehh, I felt like there wasn’t that many devices to talk about and it was obvious stuff… not sure about this one
FRQ3 - LOVED LOVED LOVED this one. Merchant of Venice was perfect for it!</p>
<p>The poem was so sad! 
It got to me, guys. It got me right there.</p>
<p>yeah that poem in frq was a tearjerker
2nd and 3rd for frq were easy
MC was hard</p>
<p>Did anyone write about The Poisonwood Bible on the third essay?</p>
<p>It was very touching.</p>
<p>Just last night, I was watching this [url=<a href=“- YouTube”>- YouTube]video[/url</a>], so that’s what I was thinking of most of the time while reading the poem.</p>
<p>I wrote all 3 but didn’t really complete or do too much analysis on the 2nd essay. Was wondering if an average of a 5 on the essay is needed as a require condition to pass, or can ppl not average a 5 but have good enough M/C to pull them through?</p>
<p>Use Oedipus Rex on the last essay :)</p>
<p>You can get like half of the MC and a 5, 5, 4 on the essays and still barely pass with a 3.</p>
<p>MC- Significantly easier than the practice ones I did in class.
FRQ 1- Pretty easy. My longest one.
FRQ 2- The hardest one for me, but definitely not impossible.
FRQ 3- :)</p>
<p>I went into the test with the mindset “I’m going to write about Antigone unless the prompt utterly and completely unrelated.”</p>
<p>I literally grinned from ear to ear when I read FRQ 3. I bet everyone in my class wrote the exact same essay.</p>
<p>Jfetrov, I ran it through the calculator and if you did get 80% of the multiple choice right, even if you got perfect scores on both of the essays, it would only be a four; you have a little bit of leeway for that four (you have to get at least a 7 on one and an 8 on the other–or a 6 and 9, etc. Etc.), but that’s the best you can do with that MC score.</p>
<p>Then again, maybe you got more MC right than you thought…</p>
<p>I was surprised how different it was from what I had been prepared for. I was drilled on literary terms and other such nonsense, and really that played a very insignificant part on the exam itself.</p>
<p>I did Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston.</p>
<p>jollybolly: I did TEWWG too! Mine was pretty bad. At first I thought I could somehow warp the whole oppression thing into working, but it all kind of fell apart at the end. I thought my other two FRQ were much better.</p>
