@1601er do you have small handwriting? I had 5-7 pages but my handwriting was on the larger side and I crossed out things quite a bit
@bubblylaugh umm it’s average, possibly just a bit on the larger side. It’s really the content that counts, and how u relate it to ur thesis and the prompt
Wait, there were experimental MCQs?
So By 1 page do you mean both sides of the sheet or one side?
One page. DBQ I wrote till the last line on page 3, and on LEQ, I wrote 2 pages and half. Both were four paragraphs.
For all of those who want to predict their score, use this link: http://www.apcalculator.com/calculator/ushistory.php
It is a fairly accurate curve, I believe, with a cutoff at 42/55 MC, 12/12 SRQ, 5/7 on the DBQ, and 3/6 on the Long Essay.
Also, I believe my first SRQ was different from the one given here: https://secure-media.collegeboard.org/digitalServices/pdf/ap/ap16_frq_us_history.pdf
Is this possible?
So the College Board released the FRQs from this year and all of mine were the same except for the first SAQ. Did anyone else get this?
I did. Does anyone know why this may be?
Well my teacher told us that last year one of the SAQs was an experimental one and that was to happen again this year.But I don’t know why they would release a different one instead of just releasing three like they did last year.
if one of the SAQs was experimental, how do we get an SAQ score out of 12?
I believe they may just score it as normal, and collect data on the performance. I am not sure, though.
This is very weird, I do not remember the first SAQ…I don’t recall the topic of immigration for that section.
I think that first one was experimental, unless I got a different version?
I thought I did very well on the first SAQ, too. Darn it.
I remember the first SAQ was a cartoon about the Common Man era. Is that what everyone else’s first one was?
My first SAQ was about Andrew Jackson.
Yeah it’s about how he used his power as a president
That was my first one as well.
I’ve been lurking around here for a while, but I’ve never made an account until now. Anyways, it looks like I’m right on the edge between 4 and 5, depending on MCQ and DBQ (40 on MCQ or 5 on DBQ would do it). Does anybody know when the scoring guide for FRQs will be released?
