AP World History 2011 OFFICIAL THREAD

Yeah, I’m curious. Can we speak about it? I wanna talk about the exam lol</p>

No, you guys aren’t allowed to speak about it outside of the general “I thought this was hard/easy”. Honestly, if somebody from the Collegeboard saw this thread (and as far as I know, I’m pretty sure they do look around), a lot of tests would be cancelled.</p>

^Except people discuss questions on the SAT all the time and no scores are cancelled.</p>

so…does anyone know if the essays are still scored if I didn’t number which essay is which?</p>

AP World Readers generally try to help you earn grades so probably yes, they will score it right, but I can’t be sure. Try to read more clearly next time. I almost double-spaced but stopped and askedthe proctor since it said don’t skip lines. Oh ya, and if you wrote the numbers in after time was over, you could’ve caused all of your school’s AP exams (all i.e. Calc AB) to be nullified. Happened to a school in my state a few years back. If you really want to do well…take again ext year, though I don’t advise it although you can tell CB to not send this year’s WHAP score. By the way, I do agree with others. This MC was like 2007. I think I’d get my regular score, 17 wrong. (got same on both 2002 and 2007) Plus, the essays were awesome! I loved them. I hope I get all 9’s. (wrote till last 10 seconds) I felt like I wrote 7-9 essays (all the essays I wrote at school lately were 7-9 range) and filled up 14 pages :smiley: . I got mad when I changed an answer from the right answer to a wrong one, but raved when I saw a picture that I’ve seen before.</p>

Which essay was the hardest in your opinion?</p>

do you think it matters if i wrote my dbq, but i realized i made a mistake, and it was barely legible, xed it out, and copied it after my ccot and my compare and contrast? It was originally 6 pages, but after copying it and making it legible, it was 2.5…it’s okay… right?</p>

It seems that everyone here is quite satisfied wiv the test. XDD</p>

And think that WH HIS is even much more easier than Human Geo. (gosh…</p>

But what would be the CURVE this year? If we all do really really well on the test, then…
erm, it would still be quite hard to get a 5. </p>

But now im quite happy cuz all the APs are over.</p>

I have to do the test at a makeup next week. I’m assuming I’ll have a different version - right? Any tips of stuff that came up a lot on that test? I would think they’d be at least similar.</p>

Now THAT, my good sir, would be cheating.</p>

The people on this site seem to be like the top 5% I know lots of other people who said how hard it was. The MC was comparable to the 2007 so I think we’ll see a curve like that.</p>

What do you mean ‘if you write the number in afterwards’? Which number?</p>

in the 2010 Scoring Guidelines for the DBQ, it says “Thesis statements such as “there were more similarities than differences” are not acceptable.” Well I did write somewhere along the lines “there were more similarities than differences,” for one of my sentences in my THESIS paragraph, but backed it up with more info in my thesis paragraph. Does this mean I will lose a point on the DBQ anyways?</p>

^I think so, since the subsequent sentences will act as your thesis.</p>

What was the curve for 2007?</p>

The curve for 2007: <a href=“Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board”>Supporting Students from Day One to Exam Day – AP Central | College Board;

It was a 77-120 raw score for a 5. I really hope i got that… :/</p>

@ kneeridge: the curve isnt really nice at all… (correct number out of 70 </p>

By far one of the easiest exams! Free Response was a JOKE…middle schoolers could have done those ! Easily a 4 maybe even a 5</p>

Just remember that if you think the questions were super easy, they may have been super easy for many people and the AP people only want half the of the testers to pass so grading will be more rigorous. Easy questions don’t necessarily equate to high scores.</p>

for the 2007 curve, what about the kids who got over 60? I took it as a practice test an got 62 hehe</p>
