AP US Gov.- How was it?

<p>On the FRQs, instead of writing just the question number in the top right box, I actually labelled the pages in order... e.g. 1A, 1B for my two pages for my first question. Do I need to inform them or will they figure it out?</p>

<p>guys, I wrote one page answer for each essay.
Am I in trouble? because everybody wrote a 2-page essay.</p>

<p>@ infamous: they'll figure it out.</p>

<p>and @ austin: 1 page seems adequate. most of mine were a page and a little bit onto a second. as long as you answered what they actually asked you, you're good. i really think those who used many pages went into details that weren't necessary.</p>

<p>No. I wrote one whole page (or two sides) for each of my essay questions. The essay graders are mainly checking for "trigger words" that show you can connect the question to the right concept. Besides the questions are really straightforward so there is no need to go on and on about something when it can be summarized in two or three sentences.</p>

<p>And if I'm wrong, oh well.</p>

<p>monkeyjoint is right.
that trigger word bit is key.</p>

<p>oh shnitzzle, i dont think i had much trigger words for essay #1/#2. I did use a full page for each essay and thoroughly explained stuff to the best of my ability. Oh god, I am screwed. I FAILED!</p>

<p>Thank you guys.
I am worried. I answered what they asked, and didn't go into realllyyy detailed answer. But I answered what they asked. For example:
A) the court used ........... clause
B0 this this this can't probit so so and so because US can't ............. .....
Period.</p>

<p>Is that sufficient?
I mean what else could I have written?</p>

<p>yeah thats exactly what i did! I totally understand why you are kind of freaking out. I couldnt really elaborate more like people do on essays, cuz then i go off on a tangent. BTW.. did u get my notes i sent to you yesterday? or are you not that austin i am thinking of.</p>

<p>Oh ya Juniorita, that was so nice of you.
Thank you, I really appreciate it.</p>

<p>no prob =] anytiiiime</p>

<p>What's your next ap test?</p>

<p>Spanish, and then Calculus</p>

<p>The two worst subjects of all time.</p>

<p>U?</p>

<p>Calc BC, then Chemistry(haven't studied for 2 months), then Macroeconomics(sleep in the class)</p>

<p>I am taking AB, and self-studying BC. so kinda nervous.</p>

<p>OMG, Spanish must be reallllyyy hard.</p>

<p>i didn't prepare at all except going over the sparknotes cards but still thought it was extremely easy. unlike you guys, i thought question 2 and 3 were the easiest.</p>

<p>Lol, if you self studied [my god i cant even spell, is that the right spelling? my brain is drained] then you should be fine. My teacher in spanish talked to us about her son and husband the whole year and hasnt prepared us for the AP at all. Dont stress, that would make it worse. </p>

<p>Good luck!</p>

<p>For the calculus ap test, take lots of practice tests to get familiar with the format of the questions. It helped me.</p>

<p>lol, spanish teachers are typically very laid-back.
Thank you. I have only one day left. So pretty much, I am awaiting my destiny.</p>

<p>Lol.. good luck, i'm gunna sleep. Night. And dont stress!</p>

<p>sristi, what score do you expect to get?</p>

<p>ttyl later. I am gonna sleep in about 3-4 hours. Have to study for calc. Aargh, I am envious. lol
Good night.</p>

<p>

<p>really? my teacher is so intense. i bet shes one of the best spanish teachers out there. even helped pay for the new review books with her own money. it works. last year: 18/23 got 5's; four got 4's; only one 3 im amazed everytime i think about it.</p>
