<p>On the plus side the info I used backed up my thesis, which said that the odds of success are in favor of the landslide dudes.
4/9 would be fine with me- I owned the MC.</p>
<p>With the other president correct, meaning with lots of details and stuff, you could expect a 4. I don't think you'll get a 1.</p>
<p>@ambrino Yes, the curve stays the same every year.</p>
<p>what score do you think on got on essay #2 when i made the following mistake: </p>
<p>i got shay's rebellion and bacons rebellion mixed up. i thought that shays rebellion was cuased by indian attacks on the frontier instead of taxes. however, i did say that it showed the weakness of the federal gov b/c local militias were needed to end the rebellion. i did a good job on the whiskey rebellion (hamilton's five pt plan w/ whiskey tax, showed stronger and improved federal government). what score do you think i got? im worried that my mistake in the cuase of shays rebellion will constitute a "major error" b/c i spent much of a paragraph talking about the indian attacks...</p>
<p>oh man
that sucks
i think a 3 is the floor though
if you talked about whiskey, ur at least a 3</p>
<p>but he correctly put the SIGNIFICANCE of the rebellion which was that it showed the weakness of the federal government. so i think he can get like a 5. does anyone agree with me.</p>
<p>yeah, i dont know
you have to show both i guess?
did anyone choose any events besides whiskey and shays?</p>
<p>no the other ones i had no idea what they even were lol</p>
<p>well even a 3 on my rebellion essay would be ok i think. im pretty sure i got 9's on the other two essays (dbq and TR) and i left no blank on the MC (prob about 15 or so wrong). thats still enough for a 5 from what ive heard</p>
<p>Even if your mix up a good amount it will not affect your grade THAT much.</p>
<p>Alright, I screwed up on essay #3. I used the term "abolitionism" instead of "temperance" and then wrote about prohibition, Carrie Nation, 18th amendment etc. How screwed am I?</p>
<p>I did FRs 2 and 5 . . .</p>
<p>For #2 I did Shays and Whiskey (what were the other two??). I think I did really well for the causes of Whiskey, and decently on causes for Shays, but I got the year wrong on Shays (i put 1796 instead of 1786 :-). How screwed am I? I think I did pretty well on significance, talked about strength of fed. government, impact on transition to Jeffersonians, connected it to Populists in 1800s, etc. I thought my analysis was pretty good, but I've never done an FRQ before, so idk, and I am really worried since I screwed up the year and don't think I owned the MC . . . </p>
<p>For #5 I did FDR and Nixon, and agreed with the quote. It seems like everyone else did the opposite :-. I talked a lot more about Nixon than FDR b/c I ran out of time, but for Nixon I talked about how he failed to prevent the passage of the Clean Air Act and the busing/desegregation bill, and how he couldn't get his anti-busing bill to pass. Also I talked about Vietnamization and how it took awhile and how Congress repealed the Gulf of Tonkin resolution and how his first attempt at peace with the North Vietnamese led to resumed bombing ( I connected it, I promise) and also about Watergate. Then for FDR it was Generalization Central, I drew a blank, so I talked about how 'several pieces of FDR's New Deal and Second New Deal programs' (lol I know, terribly specific) were ruled unconstitutional by the Supreme Court and about how his court-packing plan also failed to pass. I'm not sure which term this was in, I was kind of shooting in the dark. I ended that paragraph with something like 'although most of Roosevelt's terms in office were successful in the political and legislative realms, when taken holistically, the failure of several new deal programs and the court-packing plan indicate that the assertion is valid' or something like that. </p>
<p>Soo . . . I have no idea how these things are scored, so any help would be appreciated. :) (Sorry so long)</p>
<p>i am so lucky that i didnt have to do a FRQ only on the period after WWII (cold war, kennedy, civil rights, LBJ, nixon) b/c my class was only up to the start of the cold war by the time the AP test started. whew...</p>
<p>AHHHH, I didn't notice the (1936) next to FDR!!</p>
<p>I wrote entirely about his first election.....**** I'm going to get a 2 now.</p>
<p>gahhh collegeboard, why 1936????</p>
<p>UNEPgirl, I wouldn't worry about putting the wrong year...it's just info that won't count. In AP, dates are not the focus, unless you base your essay on it or it's a change over time essay like in World History. As long as you have the themes down, which it seems like you do, you should be fine. I said Shays' demonstrated the central government's power or something to that effect. So I have more to worry about than you, for sure.</p>
<p>But for FDR I wrote about his first hundred days, the AAA, and his New Deal...most of it was centered around his first term. The only thing from his second term I talked about was the SSA. </p>
<p>ugghhhhh, half of my essay just went to crap.</p>
<p>Jman, I'm with you there. Though we should get some credit. The curve is super generous anyway.</p>
<p>I hope so. I have a feeling alot more people made the same mistake. They better be nice with the curve this year.</p>
<p>History wasn't my best subject, but I swore I got a 4 on that exam. I don't know about that anymore.....</p>
<p>For essay # 5 i disagreed and put FDR and Reagan</p>
<p>For reagan I put how, by using deficit spending ( to up the arms race) he caused the fall of the soviet union, and how he continued to use his policy of Reagonomics to get (and keep) the U.S. out of the depression that was under carters presidency</p>
<p>For FDR i put that he continued to enforce and back, his ND plans such as WPA and wagner act and that he passed the lend-lease act (which stimulated american industry to make weps and got us out of great depression), also how he led us through most of ww2... Also how he won the election because he got the black vote and minority vote (and caused them to vote democratic for the first time in majority)</p>
<p>However, i am worried about using roosevelts 3rd and 4th terms as examples... I knew it said 1936 but was it ok to use all his terms after 1936 or just his second?</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure just that term. Otherwise, why would they put that year? All of his elections were landslide ones. They had to have put 1936 there for a reason.</p>
<p>what exactly did the whiskey rebellion do... I spent my entire whisky rebellion part of the essay elaborating on the one sentence I remember reading about it.</p>
<p>@jman- Are you sure... in the question i remember it saying something about a presidency's office after a landslide victory.. the victory being 1936.. did the question specifically say term? (the year could have been there to stop people from doing FDR's first term)</p>
<p>@kaotic- Whiskey rebellion was part of a plan by alexander hamilton to have an excise tax on whiskey
Whiskey farmers rebeled, washington raised army (something that couldnt be done under AoC) and put the rebellion down.
Showed the strength of constiution</p>
