***AP U.S. HISTORY 2015***

The clock in the room was not functional and I only realized that we only had 20 minutes when another proctor came to relieve the first one and told her the time. This has nothing to do with me being “almost an adult”, unless adults have some power to tell time without looking at a clock.

@skieurope so I suppose your advice is to just suck it up then

@bookwoof You said you did OK with the exam, so yes.

Hey guys, for
Briefly explain ONE implication for public policy of John Muir’s view on land use.
Do you think they would’ve accepted that his perspective eventually compelled the government to set aside 35 million acres for a national forest, or do you think we would’ve had to have been even more specific?

Also does that mean Question 4 was thrown out? And if so how can collegeboard do that because it was worth nearly 10 points and that will dramatically impact our scores???

Question 4 is only worth 5% of the exam. I just don’t understand why they posted something different. If absolutely everyone with form O had question 4 and they deem it valid, they’ll keep it normal. If some people had our #4 and others had the published 4, they’ll probably make it extra credit bc it consumed time and some did well while others did poorly. I don’t think they can throw it out bc some people did well on it.

@baller55 Extra credit??? The College Board never has and NEVER will give “extra credit.”

@apactstudent Well what do you think they’ll do? Do you think they posted a different form or are they throwing out the question?

@ros12122 I have no idea, but I would assume that they threw it out due to the fact that it concerned pre-1492 American history.

I’m doubting they threw it out. Yes it was pre-1492 but after seeing the locations I agree that you could have come to a reasonable conclusion.

As I said before I don’t think the forms necessarily had to do with the questions you had. We went over this in class today and people who had S and M forms had some of the SAQs that were released as ‘Form O’.

Did anyone have number 4 though? @Chrysanthemum14

No one so far has said that they’ve had number 4

so, I self studied the test and got really confused on the DBQ. so I grouped the DBQ into a religous, political and economic grouping and my synthesis was that there was a return to fundmentalism in both the middle east and india? Is this enough to get me the synthesis point?

@bookwoof @baller56
On this thread? Yes people have said that they had the pre-1492 question. I know ppl irl that had it as well.

No. I mean the one published. Absolutely no one had it

I’m thinking that since loads of people got mad about the pre-1642 questions especially teachers, College Board (even if they still count it in the score this year) decided to change it to a short answer more representative of the actual test for future years

Maybe they didn’t publish the native anerican one because it may be on the make up exam ?

@Chrysanthemum14 no that’s not what I meant at all. I also had the Native American question. I obviously meant the one that College Board released recently on industrialization that has sparked much discussion as of late…

Is it possible to get a 5 if i feel like i did well with everything but bombed the long essay?

@bookwoof Really? Everyone at my school had the Native American one
