<p>APUSH - 5 (I must have been a good guesser b/c I bombed the DBQ)
SATII month later 760</p>

<p>Yeah retention of information</p>

42

<p>Yes, 5...but the DBQ on women was a gift, frankly. And on that one I really thought my answer was going to be counted off-topic because I brought in so much outside info on women in Victorian England.</p>

43

<p>I think my history teacher told me that they graded the DBQ a little easier because a lot of students had trouble with it. They felt the wording was confusing or something... Either that or they adjusted the grading scale to compensate.</p>

44

<p>Ah--that accounts for it :) But in general, I thought, the essays were easier than I expected them to be, and the MC harder.</p>

45

<p>Yeah--the cult of domesticity DBQ was a gift from God.</p>

<p>I rejoiced when I read it..right up my alley. lol</p>

46

<p>AP US History: 3</p>

<p>whatever</p>

47

<p>I got a 5. The only hard part was lessening my hand's pain.</p>

48

<p>How much do you have to write for the other two essays? I think I only wrote 1.5 pages for each, but like 3.5 for the DBQ. I was kind of rambling on that...</p>

49

<p>AP US history: 4 the essays sucked!!</p>

50

<p>I got a 5! I was kind of expecting a 4 due to the essays, but I found the multiple choice pretty easy. Congrats to everyone on their scores.</p>

51

<p>apus:4 sat2: 720</p>

<p>lol im ok with it. should've done better on both, but MC is not my strongsuit and while essay's normally compensate for that i know i blew one of them on the ap (aka i deserve what i got). and ha, there aren't any essays on the sat2! this might also explain getting a 5 on the bio ap as the essays were illll and getting a 670 on the sat2. (erlack)</p>

52

<p>did anyone NOT pass?</p>

53

<p>


</p>

<p>those people don't know how to use the internet</p>

54

<p>Only around half of the people who took the test passed.</p>

55

<p>where does that statistic come from?</p>

56

<p>AP Central perhaps????</p>

57

<p>I got a 5, although I wrote off topic on the essay about the progressives' loss of momentum in the 1920s.</p>

58

<p>^whats off topic considered? Cause I think I wrote off topic about the federal government thing after the civil war.</p>

59

<p>My history teacher told me 53% of the people taking the test passed this year. Last year 50.4% of the people taking the test passed according to the College Board website.

<p>5 AP, 770 SATII
I knew i had either bombed the essay or schooled it, because I did that random essay comparing Spanish and American colonies. I pulled out knowledge from my fourth grade class when we studied missions and california history, and I didn't know if the info was true or if I had just dreamed it or something. The SATII was pretty easy after the AP, essays are stressful.</p>
