Did anyone here get a 5 in APEL, WITHOUT having taken APEC or APUSH?

<p>Hmm....I'm trying to insist that there must be some <em>conspiracy</em> as to why I got a 4...</p>

<p>But I must admit I was shocked to find that I hadn't gotten a 5. My teacher is an impossibly harsh grader, typically giving 7's to essays that CB would certainly give a 9. And I almost always got 9's from her. Furthermore...I was really, REALLY confident about those essays that I wrote on AP day O.O.</p>

<p>ANYWAY, what's important though, is that I never took an AP history class, while nearly everyone else I know, did. Now, I found out that one of my friends - an avid history buff who, um, isn't exactly Charles Dickens...got a 5. True, though, she can think of a million historical examples per second, and I know the SAT essay-graders (who I had FAR less respect for than AP-graders..) think that historical examples are absolutely necessary.</p>

<p>Did anyone else fail to use historical examples, and then find a disappointing APEL grade in the mail? Or, on the converse, did anyone get a 5 without having ever taken an AP History?</p>

<p>While, I did take both AP english classes, I still only got a 4. Took APUSH, but I don't remember using any history in my eng exams.</p>

<p>I like you very much just because you posted about a possible conspiracy.</p>

<p>And that is all I have to bring to this thread.</p>

<p>I got a 5 on APEL, and I took APUSH, but I don't recall actually using any historical examples. Well, not from more than ten years ago.</p>

<p>HAHAHAHHA omg lol......major typo!!</p>

<p>I meant to say that I'm <em>NOT</em> trying to suggest that there's a conspiracy XDD. Oh my gosh, I must sound like a moron now. </p>

<p>And no....I DIDN'T make any such major errors on my essays XP</p>

<p>GAAAH why doesn't CB let you edit your posts anymore?! o.O</p>

<p>The CollegeBoard doesn't let you do anything pertaining to this website =]</p>

<p>I think you didn't answer the question. A lot of points are knocked off for straying off the question and/or not answering it. </p>

<p>I took Euro and I provided very few examples for the French Revolution FRQ, but I made sure I answered the question. Don't know what I scored on that essay but I got a 5 on the exam.</p>

<p>I got a 5 without a historical example, if it makes you feel any better.</p>
