APUSH 2010 post exam thoughts

<p>I confused the two belts</p>

<p>MC= relatively simple compared with tricky questions in review books I used.
DBQ= moderately hard, not sure if I focused on the right stuff but if I did I aced it.
FRQs= I choose 2 and 4, which I thought to be reasonable and relatively simple</p>

<p>I thought the MC went pretty well. The DBQ was awesome, I was able to bring in some outside information. Not really sure exactly how much outside info I gave though.</p>

<p>My FRQs… I don’t know… I think I brought in two REALLY specific details for each. But the rest of the essay was really general “facts” :/</p>

<p>What do you generally need to score a 4?</p>

<p>As long as I got 60 on the mc (which I think I did) and reasonably well on the dbq (5-6, which I think I did) I can get away with 2’s while still getting a 4.</p>

<p>I’m SURE I missed less than 20 on the MC. My DBQ I would say was a 6 or 7, I really loved it!!! My FRQs… man… worst case scenario would be a 3 for each. What do you guys think my predicted score would be?</p>

<p>Thank you early American English class</p>

<p>The MC were much easier than I’d anticipated. I’ve failed the majority of APUSH tests in school this year, and only began studying two days ago, so I was quite surprised.</p>

<p>I was really, really pleased with the DBQ. I was practically praying for it to be on that time period. I remembered a fair amount of outside information as well, so hopefully I did well on that one…
I did FRQ #3, and while I knew what I meant to say, my brain was a bit scrambled by this point, and I’m not sure it came across the way I’d intended?
As for FRQ #5…I’m not sure I had a coherent thought anywhere in the essay, honestly. I was so mentally exhausted at this point that I’m almost certain I’ll get a one on this essay. I felt I knew a bit more about it than #4, though.</p>

<p>Ah well. I’m expecting the worst, and hoping for the best :)</p>

<p>Definitely four, maybe five. You need 118 to get a five, 91 for a four. The equation is:
mc right- mc wrong (.25))= total multiple choice.
DBQ score x 4.5, FRQ scores x 2.75.
Add all for total score</p>

<p>Oh I forgot, multiply final mc score by 1.125.</p>

<p>Any one know what score this would be >.< :
-all questions answered, 50 right
-3 on dbq
-4 on both essays</p>

<p>Part C FRQ was definitely the hardest. I BS’d a lot of it, to be honest.</p>

<p>((50-(30<em>0.25))</em>1.125) + (4.5 * 3) + (4<em>2.75) + (4</em>2.75)</p>

<p>47.8125 + 13.5 + 11 + 11 = 83.3125</p>

<p>I’d say around a 3, borderline 4.</p>

<p>How many multiple choice did most of you leave blank? (if any)
I ran out of time and didn’t go back. I’m guessing I left about 10 blank, and I’m genuinely very nervous. I’m pretty confident about the ones I did do though…</p>

<p>Ima cry if I don’t get a 5</p>

<p>DBQ stunk… badly.</p>

<p>I didn’t leave any blank. Usually I can get most questions down to two choices, and at that point, I can’t leave it blank, because I feel that if I don’t answer it, that’s one point I might not be able to get.</p>

<p>A 5? Seriously? Are you an AP USH god? ._____.
/jealous</p>

<p>I loved the DBQ! I guess it really just depends on what you emphasized while studying. The USII FRQs, on the other hand, were not my favorite, but I suppose it could’ve been worse.</p>

<p>I did ok on the DBQ…</p>

<p>And answered frq’s 2 and 5,
they were the ones that I felt I could explain the most… So we’ll see.</p>

<p>Hopefully passed.
MC was kind of easy, first question made me laugh.</p>

<p>Also, my teacher told me that on FRQ is usually a lot easier than other, so you’d need to write more in depth about the easy one to get the same amount of credit as you would for less info on the harder one. Which FRQ questions did you think were the easy ones?</p>

<p>I was pretty sure 2 & 4 were the easy ones.</p>
