APUSH 2010 post exam thoughts

<p>I wrote about the baby-boom generation too. :slight_smile: We must have done something right! :P</p>

<p>People! You canā€™t say what you wrote about/what the essay questions were on! Have you been listening to what people have said at all on here? You could very easily get your scores invalidated!</p>

<p>i dont think weā€™re supposed to talk about it but w/e.
The multiple choice was pretty easy in my mind. BTW, that quote was from BFā€™s Autobiography =).
For question five, I confused the sun belt and the cotton belt (where I just talked about black people anyways). The most I got on that one was a 2.</p>

<p>^ I thought we were allowed to talk about essays?</p>

<p>Arenā€™t the MC off limits?</p>

<p>amyyyyyyy, settle down. They canā€™t figure out who we areā€¦ plus come sunday morning we can blab all we want.</p>

<p>idk about mcā€™s, but essays are 48 hours</p>

<p>They will invalidate your score. Read the thread about it. You canā€™t talk about the essays for 48 hours and you can never talk about MC. I mean, seriously, you do not want to talk about it. This is a public forum.</p>

<p>I could answer every mc question as soon as I read it. Sadly, I could not pick out the answer from the choices given on several questions. The FRQ for me was a joke. Seriously, if you named the top 5 easiest questions they could ask, it would include two of either 2, 3, 4 and 5. Thats how I felt anyway. I barely had any outside info on my DBQ, but I was able to develop a a pretty well essay from the info in the documents. Based on the scale mc 1.125, DBQ 4.5, FRQ 2.75, Iā€™m pretty sure I got a 5. </p>

<p>ā€œIā€™m relieved. Nowā€¦ I just have to wait until Wednesday for AP Lang .ā€ </p>

<p>Egh thanks for reminding me. Iā€™m dreading that considering Iā€™ve got one 5 out of 4 practice tests. Oh and one two points away from a 3.</p>

<p>You guys all found FRQ 3 easy? I did 1 and 3 and found 3 pretty hard. I couldnā€™t think of many specific examples at all. The real problem was that the time period was restricted, and I had no idea if the people I was thinking of were in it.</p>

<p>Didnā€™t even know there was an FRQ 5, must have been on the page after 4. Now Iā€™m madā€¦</p>

<p>The DBQ is considered essay one. Then the FRQs are two, three, four, and five.</p>

<p>@ BusinessScholar: my god how did you have such great fluctuation in your practice exam scores? Iā€™ve only taken one hopefully I donā€™t fluctuate really low when the actual exam is administered. </p>

<p>@Yamster: I think you might be confusing the numbering. the first FRQ is number 2 because the DBQ is 1. Thatā€™s why there is 5. DBQ is 1 then 2 and 3 are the first part of the FRQ and then 4 and 5 are the second part of the FRQ.</p>

<p>So I havenā€™t seen a clear answer about this looking through past threads. How bad is it if you accidently wrote the essays in pencil?</p>

<p>I have a pretty good chance at a 80/80 MC. I contemplated whether or not to write the second FRQ response for a good 15 minutes.</p>

<p>oh damnā€¦
Itā€™s really bad if your paper isnā€™t near the top of the stack, or securely locked in place.
The reason they make you don it in pen is so that it doesnā€™t get all rubbed off during transportation. If they donā€™t have a rule that says youā€™re disqualified if you use pencil, then you might be ok. Or you might get a 2.</p>

<p>Am I the only one who thought the mc was hard? I skipped like 4 and pretty sure I got a TON wrong. I basically knew nothing about post wwii</p>

<p>I think this is vague enough to post (I hope):
I did the last FRQ- #5. I really tried to connect those changes in the American life/society as a change to what the American Dream was and how the American Experience changed :-D</p>

<p>looks like theyā€™re lenient.</p>

<p>Was the curve last year really low, or can we expect it to be around the same?</p>

<p>@ ernie92: my essays account for the flucuation. I average 72-78% mc. I did not develop my essays enough for the one I almost received a 3 on. For the actual exam though, Iā€™ll definelty expand upon my responses.</p>

<p>Yeah, I mixed up the numbering lol, no wonder. My friend just told me</p>
