<p>At naidu: My APUSH teacher said that a little bit of wrong information is fine, as long as it's only really nitpicky details and you don't get anything major wrong.</p>
<p>Mostly they're looking to add points for right information, not to deduct points for wrong information.</p>
<p>I actually loved the DBQ. I had to write a similar one for a class assignment so I knew a lot about the topic. I accidentally forgot a couple documents in my first paragraph though, but I added another sort of short paragraph at the end of my body paragraphs to add in two more, and aside from that I'd already used more than half. </p>
<p>As for the FR, I didn't really care much for them. For the first, I chose option 2, and for the second, I chose option 5. A lot of people would have picked option 4 but I was really fuzzy on it, and I almost picked option 3 out of instinct but I thought about it more and realized I knew a lot more about 2.</p>
<p>In all, I ended up writing about 4 pages for each essay. I didn't really like 5, but it was the lesser of two evils for me. What resulted was about 4 pages of BS with almost no specific information. Hopefully my good introduction will fool the grader into giving me a higher score than I deserve. </p>
<p>I'm a little worried about my handwriting. At first I was as careful as I could be but I started running out of time. Most of the crossing off I did was not because I changed my mind about what I wanted to say, it was because I had written a word illegibly and had to write it again. </p>
<p>I'm hoping that I did enough to squeeze myself into the 5 category. I think the MC went pretty good but I had a lot of guesses on questions narrowed down to two, so it depends largely on whether or not those guesses went the right way.</p>
<p>So if on one of the free response essays that ask for you to discuss two things, and you discuss the first thing correctly, but the second thing you had a general intro statement that was right but the detailed event you used to support that statement actually applied to a different president (and thus you did not mention the event that would have substantiated the intro statement correctly), what's the most you could get out of 9?</p>
<p>The most you would get would probably be a 7 or 6 considering if you did really well on the other part. </p>
<p>Oh and by the way for anyone else, let's stop with the "hypothetical" and "what if" questions and just stop worrying about what you did. You can't change it now, all you can do is wait until July.</p>
<p>Hahah, the DBQ was awesome...I did my History Day project on that era and I filled five pages, used 9/10 docs (not that dumb picture of a horse) and had an awesome thesis. The free responses were not so great, I had little to no evidence to back up #3 and totally forgot about the second prez on #5, but...whatever, I think/hope the DBQ will hep fix that.</p>
<p>1) I talked about the Populists and WJBryan, basically. I got 4 pages full, so hopefully I can pull a 6-7. Maybe.
2/3) This sucked. I wrote maybe 2 pages. I did #3, because 2 would be worse.
4/5) I did 5, and I talked about FDR and Nixon.
FDR about how he had the roosevelt recession and his failed attempt to pack the courts. Nixon about watergate and how he had to give up his tapes.</p>
<p>Hopefully I can get a 4... I haven't really been doing my work in this class...</p>
<p>How did you guys manage to put facts/statistics into your #2? I had some good analysis I think but it was a really difficult response to put facts into, it seemed mostly to call for analysis. I'd be curious to know how other people did it. I'm predicting a 3 or so on that, maybe a 4 on my #5 because I wrote really well and specifically on FDR (not so well on LBJ :() and I'm thinking a 6 or 7 on my DBQ, maybe an 8, I definitely kicked that thing's ass.</p>
