Wait until you have to fill out tax forms! 
The IRS doesnât care if itâs confusing. Itâs your responsibility to figure it out.
âŠRight. Well, since you very clearly want to, go complain to the CollegeBoard. Theyâll probably pretend to take the issue seriously and then chuckle as soon as they hang up. The time to start taking responsibility for your mistakes is now. College professors would laugh, too. âI saw it, why didnât you?â
No - it has been four years since I have taken an AP exam.
The number of FRQ questions is clearly marked at the top - and it is your responsibility to make sure that you have located the questions. If I remember correctly, the bottom of each FRQ page (until the last one) says something like âGo on to the next page.â
It seems like thereâs nothing you can do about it. Most exam takers know that there are two free response questions that must be answered, and it is expected that all exam takers look through the whole booklet.
i just dont know how I can bring myself to move on, i studied until 4am the day before):
Maybe that was the problem - you were too tired!
@MaineLonghorn i slept from 4-11, my test was at 11:45 and I drank coffee and ate dark chocolate right before
Do you have much experience taking standardized exams in school? I ask because in PA our students take tests every year starting at 8 years old in 3rd grade (much the same as most/all other states in the US but I could be wrong) and they have these exact same types of issues. Many multiple choice questions and then pages of open ended questions - the first one or two has 2 or 3 (occasionally 4) parts and then they have to turn the page in the answer booklet to find the next questions/questions.
Our 3rd graders struggle and often âforgetâ to turn the page or get confused about one 3 part question vs. 3 different questions, leaving some questions blank - but by 4th and certainly 5th grade they are all pretty well versed in following the directions and answering all questions. By middle school and high school they have taken many years of these high stakes tests and the thought of not following the directions (âcomplete questions 1-56â or âwork until you see the stop signâ or âcomplete pages 1-14 in your answer bookletâ) would seem so elementary. I guess if you have never been exposed to high stakes tests with multiple pages of directions then this may seem tough and unfair.
There does not seem to be much that you can do - trust that the cut scores for a 4 or 5 are so low that if you aced the multiple choice and the question that you did answer, you should be good to get a decent score. Going forward on the rest of your AP tests, make sure that you answer all questions. Youâll be fine.
@novicemon23kids I asked a bunch of people and they said that the only hint was that the front page said that there were 2 questions. the thing is, it looked like question 1 WAS question 1 and 2 (beause they were seperated by a line), and you had to flip all the way to the sixth page to see the actual 2nd question (which the book didnât say), so it was definitely different from a usual standardized test. usual standardized tests that I take would let us know where the second question was in bold print, and I take standardized tests a few times a year
MODERATORâS NOTE;
This thread is just going around in circles. OP refuses to believe that there was not Q2. Fine. Continue to believe that. However, I see no reason to keep this thread open. Closing.
