<p>hey I drew a line of lame ducks too! xD</p>
<p>I also drew about 5 pages of detailed prom dresses after my free response, since my gov teacher's a grader and always complains about girls drawing prom dresses on the test, haha.</p>
<p>THIS IS SPARTA.</p>
<p>That was a fulfilling FRQ.</p>
<p>Dude, I wish I had known about the Sparta thing. It totally would have filled up some awfully blank spaces on my Calc free response.</p>
<p>English Lit, though, I promise I'll put it in every essay, somewhere.</p>
<p>Once, in eighth grade when we were doing state testing, I was finished with my test and was watching my best friend do hers, and the question was to write a response about how pollution of the river was affected by the commercialization of the area, or something.</p>
<p>And she wrote "MAYBE THE RIVER WOULDN'T BE SO POLLUTED IF YOU'D STOP BUILDING NIGHTCLUBS SO ALL THE DRUNK PEOPLE WOULDN'T BARF IN THE RIVER" and she drew this huge picture of dead fish floating in the river and drunk people barfing all over it. I laughed so hard they ha to remove me from the test room, hahaha.</p>
<p>And I vaguely remember writing "????????? I DON'T KNOW IDFK" on one of the Government free responses last year, I think the one about war powers or something and then just filling the page with question mark doodles.</p>
<p>I wrote a paragraph about Menlo Park on the green insert of the Spanish Language exam to review for APUSH. Only I did it in Spanish, so my teacher's going to freak out thinking it's part of my essay and it wasn't on topic. </p>
<p>Uh, that was some really convoluted syntax. I hope I made sense.</p>
<p>Lol the "This is Sparta!" gag is catching on like wildfire. The cool thing about that though, is that in later years when Collegeboard uses sample FRQs from our year, students will read it and laugh--or not, depending on their sense of humor. o;</p>
<p>This is Sparta is much more well known on CC than in the general AP population.</p>
<p>a friend told me to write a poem about her for the ap lit exam tomorrow. </p>
<p>i'll probably be spending my entire multiple choice time figuring out how to write the poem since i'm screwed for the test anyway. i wonder what the graders are gonna do with that poem LOL.</p>
<p>these are really funny responses guys! keep them coming.</p>
<p>i found this from last year:</p>
<p>In General
-Write a letter:
"Dear College Board,</p>
<p>I was initially apprehensive about taking this exam. However, having just completed it, I am happy to say that I feel confident about my performance today. I hope to get a 5 on this if not, well at least I tried my best. Thank you for taking your time to grade my work. Even though I (and my parents) are paying you $100 for me to take a test for which I will most likely get a minimal amount of credit for in college, I still appreciate all that you have done to make us students succeed."</p>
<p>-Make a story:
"The interesting thing about the graders is that they are trained on one particular free response question. So, for instance, in AP Calculus, the six free response questions go to six different graders. In principle, the six parts aren't supposed to be compiled except at the very end to bring the final overall score together.</p>
<p>However, at a workshop I attended, the presenter tells the story of the only instance he knows of when all six parts were brought together prior to the scoring.</p>
<p>Turns out that one of the later questions for this student was graded first, and it appeared to be a very in-depth and detailed story that had absolutely nothing to do with Calculus. Because the grader hadn't seen the earlier part, he showed it to a couple of colleagues, and eventually, all the parts were brought together.</p>
<p>When they brought all the parts together, they realized that the story was coming to a tremendous climax right at question #6. Wondering how the story would end, they quickly read to the bottom of the question, where it finally said...</p>
<p>(TO BE CONTINUED NEXT WEEK...
I DON'T KNOW CHEMISTRY EITHER.)"</p>
<p>-Draw stick figures going at it (doggy-style, of course.)
-Draw the male genitalia.
-Write, "I love you, sexy." That's it.
-Trace your hand.
-Say "this rocks my socks!" and draw the respective figures.

<p>AP Government
-Make a quick note that it was Karl Marx's birthday ... and cross it out, saying that the Karl Marx comment had been censored by the House Un-American Activities Committee.</p>
<p>AP Stats
-"Instead of explaining and interpreting my answers on one AP stat question normally, I drew a little stick figure professor with a pointer and had him explain my answers with speech bubbles. I.e. instead of listing name of test, I drew the little stick figure professor saying "The grader can clearly see the student has chosen a matched-pairs T-test." Most of the humor was in the little professor, not what he actually said. However, at one point, he did say "The T-distribution is shorter and fatter than the normal. Just like this student's statistics teacher!""</p>
<p>AP Computer Science
-Draw an ASCII picture of a fish.</p>
<p>AP Foreign Language
-Write (In foreign language) "Hello, my name is..., i go to... high school, I'm in the 11th grade. I cannot read this question because my teacher did not teach us anything."

-Make animal noises in the oral section.</p>

<p>AP Chemistry
-Joke: "A man orders H2O, then the guy behind him orders H2O. He dies."</p>
<p>^i don't get the ap chem joke...</p>
<p>this has GOT to be the funniest thing that happened today in calc bc, though i dont think you'd want to do it.</p>
<p>ok so we were testing in the gym room and theres a bathroom located in the front of the room. this girl went in during the middle of testing, and for some reason, when she locked the door, she couldn't get out. so we were doing free response questions and all of a sudden there was pounding on the door for like 15 seconds, until the proctor with key in hand finally unlocked the door. </p>
<p>we all laughed for at least 30 seconds.</p>
<p>two years ago for apes, i wrote a letter to collegeboard about how ironic it is to waste so much plastic and paper on an ap ENVIRONMENTAL science test....i ended up getting a 5, but my little letter has obviously had no effect to this day.</p>
<p>do we get marked off or anything for doing funny things on AP FRQs??</p>
<p>I didn't do this.
I don't know who did.
But those who took Calc AB today will know exactly what's up.</p>
<p>that answer for question 3 was perfect... lol</p>
<p>Last year I took a whole sheet and put in bolded letters</p>
<p>THIS TEST HAS AIDS!!!!</p>

I wonder if the graders are amused by the comments/drawings or if they get annoyed. I'd be amused, I think. I'd probably help break the monotony.
[/quote]
</p>
<p>My AP Psych and Macro teachers were AP graders and they were both highly amused by the comments people made on the free response. They viewed them more positively than negatively.</p>
<p>lol, that was funny, u guys have balls man, asking rude things and all that lol
i only drew a river(question asked about river) and a sun,and a moon, although its in the booklet,hahah.</p>
<p>hahaha what kind of proctors did that person have that he was able to whip out a camera and take a picture of what he drew in the middle of the exam?</p>
<p>haha well i did the this is sparta but one of my friends wrote out the lyrics to la grange on the la grange error part :P</p>
<p>I had a good 55 minutes to sleep during after the free response for AP gov, so I doodled all over my booklet.. mostly about Robert Pattinson <3 lol and i wrote about how i have too much time left blahblah collegeboard is stupid</p>
<p>EdibleEgg, probably not. They can probably find ten people who made no mention of Sparta.</p>
<p>Or they'll pick the one person who didn't quite get it and tried to fit the gag into their actual essay.</p>
