<p>I will be mad if I did not get a 4 or a 5 this year. I used all the time and all of the pages for the essays, and it wasn't B.S. either. I thought the prompts were pretty easy compared to what I have seen before, I was just glad we didn't have to remember any presidents in particular or what their viewpoint was, just more social and economic impacts during the time periods given.</p>
<p>whats considered a good essay?</p>
<p>how many specific details?</p>
<p>I rocked essay 4. I used specific quotes from Coolidge, Harding and Richard Hofstedar. I also used exact numbers for the stock market index and stuff like that. So I am hoping for a nice score on that one.</p>
<p>for the FR, I chose 2 and 4 :)
anyone 2 & 4...? anyone...????? </p>
<p>the DBQ was really lame in a sense that it was too vague for us to choose a side and argue for it in any way.
It was one of those god-hates-you "assess the degree to which it influenced..." question and after that i found it purposeless to group the docs into different categories. and the LAST portion of the question (remember everyone..? lol) didn't seem to fit too much with the rest of the question, including the documents. But it was about women, and I was happy. </p>
<p>Remeber folks, it could've been worse.</p>
<p>But then again, it could've been better. AAAAAAAAAAGGHH!!!</p>
<p>What exactly WERE the three different parts of the DBQ? In my essay, I basically summarized which types of women were active/treated poorly in American society at which points in time (for example: woman gained SOME rights after the american revolution, women living on the western frontier were generally treated with equality, and slavewomen were abused constantly and treated horribly). Are there any other parts of the question that I may have left out?</p>
<p>ziggy chose 2 & 4! you guys are the only people on earth!!</p>
<p>hah EVERYONE picked 3 and 5 in my class except for a few.</p>
<p>most of the kids in my school chose 3 and 4 because we prepared for 4 a lot, i chose 3 and 5 though because i crammed that era the night before.</p>
<p>lmao, i'm glad to see that i'm not the only one who accidentally used vietnam as an example for 5...oops...i did 3 too, and i think i put some stuff that were in a different time too...sigh. multiple choice was better than expected. maybe i'll get a 3...</p>
<p>The multiple choice was difficult for me... I had to make almost random guesses on 10 of them.</p>
<p>With such a DBQ topic, you can BS your way into a logical essay without mentioning much U.S. History. I guess I make a big mistake while doing so, but I write the essay the way I feel like when they give such a confusing question.</p>
<p>I liked the essay choices too (#3 and 5). But I mentioned Kent State and Vietnam War, and counterculture, and hippies, oops... I don't care. Better than putting nothing! That's all I knew about the era, and I forgot what Progressives did in 1920s.</p>
<p>I hope everyone did well.</p>
<h1>2, colonies was a total blank i skipped that.</h1>
<p>I wasnt expected number 5 or number 1 since those were topics last year (kind of)</p>
<p>the mc was pretty easy</p>
<p>the dbq was annoying...i used all the documents and came wrote pretty much whatever crap came to mind
the two free responses were also pretty bad...too specific...anyone know what i can get if i did well on mcs and reall bad on fr?</p>
<p>I thought the MC was pretty hard.</p>
<p>firs ttime I went through, there were 26 I was unsure of, including 13 omitted --> raw score of 50 if I assume I missed every question I was unsure about....</p>
<p>went back through and bubbled in a couple more answers --> not sure if that'll help or hurt my grade......</p>
<p>DBQ was just rediculous...... I had no organization what so-ever.
I did 3 and 4.</p>
<p>3 = easier than 2 cause I didn't know anything bout crap like that
3 was hard, but I think I came up w/ some decent points</p>
<p>I could write more for 4 then I could 5
but by that point, I just didn't give a damn anymore, so I wrote like a 1.5 page essay for the last essay topic..... was all relevant info, but i'll probably lose some points just for length.</p>
<p>hopin for a 4ish.</p>
<p>only guessing on 10 is pretty good</p>
<p>the curve on this test is pretty generous if im thinkin correctly</p>
<p>I felt like the MC wasn't factual enough. They asked all more of those weird guessing questions.</p>
<p>sat 2s tomorrow. will the mc's be a lot easier or wat</p>
<p>i only mentioned authors like Ken Kesey (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest) and Arthur Miller (The Crucible) for the intellectual part of #5. :-</p>
<p>how many can you omit and still get 5</p>
<p>copeland...at least those are two more authors then you mentioned then me. </p>
<p>Anyways...I'm plain not comfortable with it. Multiple choice I did alright with, but if it weren't for the fact my teacher pushed not to omit, I could have realistically omitted like 12 of them.</p>
<p>DBQ, I was pretty comfortable with my facts, my problem was I don't feel 100% comfortable with the wording of the ideas and whether I got in a decent amount of outside info.</p>
<p>Essay, I did 3 and 5. 3 I had to do a lot more B.S. then I thought for the western expansion, and for 5 I seemed to list a lot of general opinion rather then go into authors. So...I'm hoping for a 3, but I'll accept a 2.</p>
<p>Did y'all who wrote about the '60's base your entire essay on Nam/countrer culture/sexual revolution/etc? Because y'all might be in trouble if you did....
I think it was supposed to be kind of vague because it's like the stepping stone into the 60's radicalism. I talked about the generation gap and Korean War.</p>
<p>Also, if we get too specific on here would CC really sell us out to College board by giving them our names...? lol Because that would suck... And not be very nice.</p>
