@suprstar16 same at my school
Is it possible I got a 4 even if I completely bombed the DBQ? Let’s say I got . . .
MC: 40/55
SAQ: 8/12
DBQ: 0/7 yes I know that’s sad but we never really got past 1950 to conservatism and I completely made up stuff for this dbq 
LEQ: 6/6 I chose the one about the French and Indian War and it was about 8 pages so I’m confident I got full credit.
Worst case scenario I got a 3 (hopefully…)
@writerzt71 Not doing the math rn but probably a 4. Use the guide a few pages back on this thread so estimate your grade! And yeah the worse that’ll happen is you get a 3 and still pass, don’t worry about it you did fine!
@Gatortristan Thank you! That guide predicted I got ~60% correct. Let’s hope for the best 
And plus you probably didn’t get a 0/7. They’ll probably find a point somewhere in your essay to give you.
For the Muir/Roosevelt identifying a land use policy from 1890 to 1945, do y’all think it’d be okay to use the Homestead Act even though it was started in 1862? It was still used during the given time period; I couldn’t remember when the Homestead Act came into play when I was taking the test.
@imabelli My teacher went over it today and said you could use it, but I didn’t really get how because like you said it isn’t in the time period, however i think it may be because it was going on in the 1890’s.
Ok this needs to be said for all people taking APUSH in the future who might read this. You do not need to know very much about a topic to write a DBQ on it. I did not study at all for this test, I copied most of the in class charts that we did for review from friends and the only thing I did was pay attention in class. I would always get a 6 or 7 on the in class DBQ’s and would destroy the Document based MC questions that she would make all our chapter tests based on. (85-90%) because reading the documents for these are much more important than knowing historical content. And in the case of our DBQ you should know at least a little historical content if you even bother to listen to your parents or grandparents talk about the good ol days. I feel like people at school and on here can’t get it into there head that you don’t need to know that much history to do the MC or a DBQ, you just have to know a little bit about the time period and be able to analyze documents.
As far as the short answer you do need to know historical content for. I did poorly on the short answer as a result of my laziness. My fault but oh well. The FRQ I lucked out on because one of them had a topic I knew enough about to get a decent score. (French and Indian War and its implications)
And guys for the Short Answer about Muir and Rosevelt if I said National Parks for Part C but also said Yellowstone and Yosemite (Yosemite would be ok but Yellowstone was apparently made before the time period it asked for) would Yellowstone completely negate the correct stuff I put for that and cost me that point?
no
I don’t think it helps to ask people on CC or even teachers about frq answers because we have no idea what Collegeboard would actually do.
It just occurred to me that some questions may have been field test items, hence the ambiguity.
So what are the possible situations with question 4? lol
…i dont even know how to phrase this but for the dbq where I had to write about conservatism, I made a huge spelling error. I wrote “conservationism” when i really meant conservatism. Is there point deduction on spelling error such as that, but the content that i wrote was clearly on conservatism during the 20th century.
@letmeseetheworld My teacher is an AP grader and told me that as long as the information isn’t contradictory they try and give points. In his case he mentioned Yellowstone and Yosemite. One fits and one doesn’t but they aren’t contradicting each other so he would get the point. I asked him that exact question today
Well there ya go.
lol just trying to figure out if they’re trying to helplessly hide #4
can someone answer about my situation above? Feeling negative and desperate.
if for the regional indians short answer i said they hunted seals (pretty sure i read this somewhere but may not get credit) and then wrote a tiny sentence about how they fished in the pacific will i get a point?
@Gatortristan Yeah, College Board finally realized “hmm, maybe this wasn’t the best question to ask.”
First, I don’t think that they can just drop the question and that be the end of it. they either need to give credit to those who got it right and not count it against those who didn’t, or just leave it alone. Second, do y’all think i would get credit on the environment question where I talked about the Panama Canal and how it altered the environment but led to saving natural resources, which lined up with Roosevelt?
