O is the operating form. M and S are alternate versions. Just PSA: don’t talk about M and S FRQ’s because those will not be released. O will get released in a few days.
Hope everyone felt good about their exam!
I feel like I did bad on the MC, however, the rest was really easy.
@Hidd3nBlad3s same. I was doing well on MC starting off then I got to like question 20 and I lost focus and the info stopped coming to me 
I thought it was fairly easy and mellow. I didn’t feel time-constrained at all, which is weird because I took so long on the practice test. The DBQ was dumb because I felt there wasn’t much to talk about other than what was mentioned for the time period given. There will definitely be a harsh curve; it was too straightforward not to.
One FRQ I had just plainly sucked. Form M ppl u know my pain
This is from the CB: “As a reminder, we don’t grade AP Exams on a curve; all students who meet the standard for a 5 get a 5.”
Felt the SAQs were ridiculously easy. DBQ and Frq were straight forward. MC was also straight forward. Expecting a 5 or worst case scenario 4. Hope you all did great.
Ps: God bless Adam Norris, I can’t formulate just how incredible his videos were.
What do you guys mean by curve?
For what it’s worth, I thought the multiple choice was by far the easiest part of the test, though I almost cried tears of joy when I saw one of the topics for the FRQ!
@ObitoSigma I don’t know if you had Form O, but I did and I felt that way about the DBQ! There were maybe one or two things I supplemented but I think that was where I didn’t perform as well. Short answer was fine. I completely blanked out on how to approach one of them but when I went back to it I actually had more to say about it than all the other ones.
I’m worried about how easy everyone thought it was, too. Everyone I talked to felt they did well, but that could also be because my school produces a lot of 4s and 5s? I’m not entirely sure.
9.3% of people got 5’s last year on the APUSH Exam.

Hey guys, I know in my school we had two versions of the test. Unfortunately I had the harder version, do you know if we are all graded on the same scale, or are only people with the specific test versions compared?
Guys! I have a question. On the SAQ for APUSH, I accidentally wrote Q1’s answers on the Q4 page, and the Q4 answers on the Q1 page. The proctor told me to just cross out the numbers and label them as I had written them. So I wrote a 4 on the Q1 page, and a 1 on the Q4 page. I also wrote a small note at the bottom of each page (In the lines since I had 2 lines left on each SAQ) telling the AP grader of my blunder. Do you guys think that they will notice this mistake and grade it correctly? Or what? I asked my U.S. History teacher, who is an AP grader, and he said they will probably notice that you wrote about a completely different topic on the page, and then realize that I flipped them.
I actually did the same thing, and my AP proctor told me to just continue with the test and write Q4 on Q1. He collected mine separately and wrote up an AP testing incident report to make sure that they know what happened, so that’s probably what your proctor did too. There shouldn’t be any problems, but I’m slightly worried that my score might be delayed because of it.
I thought that the multiple choice was fair, along with the short answer and the essays. I used 6 documents. If I used one of the documents as an effect, instead of using it as a cause, would that still be considered a “relevant argument” to get the rest of the points?
@ThatSpellingGuy111 Wow, what a coincidence! I did the exact same thing! My proctor just filled out an incident report and told me to make notes at the bottom of Q1 and Q4. I really wouldn’t worry about it. This kind of thing probably happens all the time, and AP readers will be quick to notice your mistake and grade it correctly.
@laxgoalie60 that’s what I did
@laxgoalie60 I feel like that’s fine! Not all the documents always work perfectly and I feel like it’s better to work them all in and have not all of them fit perfectly as opposed to not using the required number of documents or not being able to support something as being a cause when it’s really an effect.
As a feminist and feminist-club founder at my school, I loved the DBQ and was able to add a lot of extra outside information. I felt like both the DBQ and the long essay were my strongest points (plus synthesis for both was incredibly easy!). My weakest was definitely the short answer. everyone I know did really good on the short answer but I had so many blank lines that I feel like I did really bad. The MC was okay. I think I’ll get a 4 maybe a 5.
I have a question!!! I’m really scared right now… For my short answer questions I accidentally wrote response #1 on the paper where it says “prompt 4” and vice versa. I made sure to write the correct prompt that my answer responded to on each paper bolded with a bunch of stars around it and by the content it’s obvious but I’m still scared?
Just wondering, anyone else have Q Version of test?
I know a lot of people who had Q’s and R’s and they had the exact same test as the O’s.
