AP US History 2008 Scores

<p>By the way, the didn't grade 'easier' this year. My USH teacher told me that only 8% of people got a 5 this year, and that for FRQ 4 (new south), the average grade was a 2.5-3. He said that they sucked. AP standards say that on an essay, a mix up of the names of 2 people (LBJ vs. Andrew Johnson; TR vs FDR; Francis vs. Nathaniel Bacon) is counted as a minor mistake as long as your evidence is pertinent and good. So if I talk about FDR and his big stick on a question asking about TR's foreign policy (my teacher said he read an essay by a guy who did this once), it's perfectly possible for me to still get an 8 or 9 on the essay, as long as I am factually correct. </p>

<p>So yeah, grades in general were lower for AP, so if you got a 4 or 5, that's alot better than a similar grade from last year, I guess.</p>

62

<p>so when do we get our scores in the mail?</p>

63

<p>I find it amazing that almost all of those 8% seem to post here on CC. Fascinating.</p>

64

<p>I got a 5. I kind of expected it, but was still really happy. In our class we took a practice MC test and I got a score that would be a five if I didn't bomb the FR. That New South question was difficult but I did it because I knew hardly anything about the other option.</p>

65

<p>i got a 3. I thought i had a 4 for sure. ughh oh well.</p>

<p>it matches my 610 US SATII pretty well tho :( ha</p>

66

<p>I got a 4. -__-
I was really expecting a 5 since my practice exam was a 5 and
I was ranked #1 in my history class. </p>

<p>So close yet so far.</p>

67

<p>I got a 5</p>

<p>It was rather expected though; I felt that I dominated the essays and did well on MC (although I'm probably the only one that missed the Clinton question; my teacher explicitly told us that there would not be anything past 1980 on the test, and that was like the 2nd question. Everyone was like :o )</p>

68

<p>I got a 5 which I was slightly expecting and a 770 on SAT II. Do they give you a full score report, like specifics on your FRQ scores/multiple choice scores?</p>

69

<p>psycuatic, the only thing you get when College Board mails your scores for AP's is the number you got; there is no information about MC, essays, etc.</p>

<p>I don't know why they don't show that info though - maybe they don't want the way they grade the AP's and scale them to be figured out using this data?</p>

<p>I got a 5 on the AP, 800 on the SAT II. :)</p>

<p>Same here! :)</p>

72

<p>Cool. :) Aren't we history geeks?</p>

73

<p>5 this year on APUSH, never took the SAT II us history...and never will...;)</p>

74

<p>SAT II: 700
AP: 4</p>

<p>I was pleasantly surprised when I saw my score. I thought I failed for sure. My one-and-a-half page DBQ essay was pure BS. The only president I could think of was Nixon; I mixed him up with Johnson. If I had studied the VW, I think I would have gotten a 5. Ah well...</p>

75

<p>I got a 3. Failure. ;_;</p>

76

<p>Got a 4. Would have liked a 5, but not unhappy. Definitely not a history kid. (Made that 5 on AP Eng. Lang. and that was more important here.)</p>

77

<p>I thought the AP test was so easy compared to the June SAT test!</p>

<p>Was that just me? 5 and 730 :(
Should I retake the SAT II?</p>

78

<p>i got a 4 i really thought i would get a 5. Im still happy though i get the college credit still yay!</p>

79

<p>AP Lang - 5
AP US - 4
AP Lit - 4</p>

<p>I was pleasantly surprised by the 5; I really messed up the synthesis essay. Would have liked a 5 in AP US, but I can live with a 4, I think. AP Lit is usually a senior-level class at my school, but I decided to take the test a year early and go to a local college for my English class. I'm just glad my proves that I do, indeed, have some grasp of literature.</p>
