<p>does anybody have any tips for DBQ or essay writing. i think that is the only thing that keeps me from getting an a in that class</p>
<p>would you consider 88 to be a good grade?</p>
<p>It depends on what your school is like and how difficult the class is. I have a 96%, but an A is not too hard to get in my APUSH class.</p>
<p>As for DBQs, you might want to look at apcentral.com and look at the rubrics to get an idea about what makes a good essay.</p>
<p>I have the opposite problem; I don't do that great on the multiple choice.</p>
<p>venkater, I think he's trying to torture us lol. I know that the school down the street from us does not require hardly any work for its APUSH classes.</p>
<p>My teacher thinks failure is the best motivation, so he tries to make life harder on us. *******</p>
<p>a 96? i think the highest ever in all our APUSH classes is a 94</p>
<p>The highest in our class last quarter was a 98%. One girl in my class got a 97%.</p>
<p>I end up with an 88 every six weeks. I would definitely have a 94-95 if I would actually read the books. I guess I write really good DBQs and do fine with multiple choice. It's not really hard...the problem is that our teacher gives us more work than I can actually do!</p>
<p>Oh btw, an 88 is the highest in our class.</p>
<p>That sucks.</p>
<p>To all of you who have low grades, is it because you do alot more tests than assignments?</p>
<p>I usually get low A's and high B's on tests and quizzes, but all I have to do is complete every homework assignment to maintain my A.</p>
<p>I get an A on every test. Usually like a 90 on M.C./90 on DBQ...which is rare. Most score around an 80 on the M.C. and a 70ish on the DBQ. We get a lot of reading quizzes...and I don't read.</p>
<p>Also, we do this stupid Daily/Minor/Test grade weight. And my teacher mixes them up. So it's really hard to obtain full points in one of the categories.</p>
<p>my teacher is making us do too much, because when i say 10 pages, that is the absolute minimum. the average per week is around 15 pages. i just hope all this work will pay off with a 5 in May.</p>
