<p>I lol’d @ at I hate Savannah. </p>
<p>Luckily, all of the terms I was familiar with. And the MC was fairly OK. Should’ve taken more offical ones rather the Barrons.</p>
<p>Barron’s flash cards = life saver. There were words like hypochondriatis, tardive dyskenisis, self-efficacy on them that I’ve never heard of and thought we may never need to know, and sure enough…</p>
<p>I thought those words were all fairly common… the random drugs is what gets me… we only learned main ones and AP always seems to bring up obscure ones.</p>
<p>Yeah, the only questions that I struggled with were Ebbinghouse and Drug for x. Hahah, I loved this exam. [What was up with the drug–was it methadone? I don’t remember most of the other choices, but I’m pretty sure I’d never heard of half of them.]</p>
<p>^Yes, I think. Methadone is used for Heroine addicts at least. tykenwhatever messed me up.</p>
<p>I do like that most psychology terms describe their meaning exactly. For example, Social Loafing? It sounded right, then it turns out it was!</p>
<p>I told my GC that I was self-studying it, back in February. But I forgot about it completely until an alarm I set in my phone went off saturday night. So, I proceeded to drive to Borders on Sunday morning, buy Barrons, read it while playing COD, and I’m pretty sure I passed. I need a 4 for the credit, but I am afraid I screwed up FRQ’s because I had no idea how I was supposed to answer them. Do they like facts? BS? I gave both. All in all, I wrote >1.5 pages for both, which I thought was good considering the allotted time.</p>
<p>Was actually kinda fun to write on one of those FRQs since I knew basic knowledge on the language even though I know my score’s teetering on the 4/5 fence depending on the curve this year just gotta wait for summer I gues…I knew barely more than half the terms on the FRQs but did well on the MCs</p>
<p>I found the MC part easy, but then again, I stayed up until 5 am memorizing terms, so I guess everything was still fresh in my memory and did well. There were 5-6 questions that I had to guess, but I was mostly able to narrow the answers down to two possible choices, so I am quite sure I did well. The FRQ weren’t that bad, especially the second one, but I’m a little concerned because I have never practiced writing a free response in my preparation and didn’t really know how I was expected to answer. Anyway, I hope I did well there, as I covered most of the things, so I am really hoping for a five.</p>
<p>Haha, I’m looking up that random drug question and it turns out that the choice I picked turned out to be PCP.</p>
<p>how were any of these drugs “random”? they were all covered in the barrons book. only the one about like linguistics or language structure was not covered and maybe 1-2 others</p>
<p>I watched House that’s how I knew it was Methadone haha! I think there are about 7 I was unsure about but that number keeps going down…I messed up on the second essay by completely forgetting one of the terms to write about, I had enough time and I reread my essay so it sucks. I know I missed one on the other essay too, but I still think I probably got a 5…I tried to make jokes about Savannah I told her she should have tried harder to learn…she failed</p>
<p>The Barron’s book did a great job at covering everything. There was even a question used nearly word for word in a practice exam in the 2010 edition and the actual MC test yesterday. </p>
<p>Will a 75ish/100 on the MC and a 4/7 and 8/8 on the two essays be a borderline 5? I thought the first essay was a lot more difficult than the second.</p>
<p>^Yeah I thnk I know which question you are talking about! 
I was SO HAPPY!</p>
<p>Our teacher didn’t really emphasize that we couldn’t label the essays, and I know a large number of my peers labeled them. We didn’t write them in outline form, but we labeled the three sections with A, B, and C on the answer sheet. Will points be taken off for this?</p>
<p>^That’s definately a 5.</p>
<p>Anyone have any idea for 90/100 and 4/7 and 5/7?</p>
<p>^thats not definitely a 5, its borderline 4/5. the fact that you question a 90/100 and 4 and 5 out of 7 is quite surprising. thats clearly a five.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Because I only used Crash Course (which, by the way, was AWESOME!) since I had 8 other exams to prepare. I was able to eliminate 2 of the obvious incorrect answers and I just guessed (wrongly, of course).</p>
<p>^^Thanks Collegbound. </p>
<p>I’m a little nervous that my examples for some of the other FRQ points may have been poor. That would really kill me.</p>
<p>I think If I got 4 and 4 out of 7 I’d be RIGHT on the border.</p>
<p>In hindsight, I wish I studied for a few more days and had gotten Barron’s flashcards. Just looking through what many of you have attempted to insinuate about some of the questions and their answers, I keep increasing what I think I got wrong (hoping for a 4 at this point).</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>There were a few questions I never ever recalled reading about (unless I skimmed/crammed that part in the book =/). But it pretty much covered like 95% of the test, and 4% was just common sense/stuff you learned in health.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Yeah same for me. I probably got around 5 questions wrong because I blatently did not know the term provided for me. It might be just me but I’d guess like 2-3 Barron’s did not cover and 2-3 was just me not reading meticulously enough</p>
<p>FWIW I had the Barrons book and the Barrons flash cards. I read like 1/5th of the book and then said screw this and went to the flash cards.</p>
<p>I read the 500 flash cards twice, and did a few practice tests. </p>
<p>The flash cards 120% prepared me for the MC. Some of the terms on the FRQ were a little vague and I couldn’t pair them with correct specific terms, atleast for me. Well actually vague is a bad term, the words were words I knew but used in a different context/given to me differently then I was used to. Flash cards prepared me for FRQ–65-70%. However If I read the flash cards 100x I probably would have known the terms that I didn’t, but meh.</p>
