How well do you think you did on the AP US History Exam?

<p>I thought the multiple choice was tough, but the essays were super easy. I'm thinking I got a 4, 5 if I'm lucky.</p>

<p>the curve, in my opinion, is going to be brutal. that was wayyyy too easy.</p>

<p>I got a 5.</p>

<p>The DBQ was complete crap.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>If you mean “complete crap” in the way I think you do, yeah, the DBQ was ridiculously easy and extremely BSable. Everyone should get at least a 5 on that essay.</p>

<p>Well, it was just really hard to pull out outside information for it. And I totally wasn’t expecting anything from that time period… AT ALL. :(</p>

<p>How much did you write for the DBQ?</p>

<p>Would anyone be kind enough to tell me what my predicted score would be? I didn’t study enough. I’m expecting to miss lets say 25…left three blank and the rest correct</p>

<p>for the DBQ I would say a 5 and 3’s for the two FRQs… is that a three? :D</p>

<p>It’s a 3, though not far from a 4.</p>

<p>Tents, </p>

<p>80 - 25 = 55
55 - (22 x 0.25) = 49.5
49.5 x 1.125 = 55.7
55.7 + (5 x 4.5) = 78.2
78.2 + 2(3 x 2.75) = 94.7</p>

<p>74 - 91 = 3
92 - 113 = 4<br>
114 - 180 = 5</p>

<p>So you would just sneak into the 4 range.</p>

<p>NO WAY. I’ve gotten a 4 on my AP European History exam last year, although I prepared for it a lot!</p>

<p>No offense to those who get lower than a 4… but that’s pretty scary how close I can get to a 4 with such **** FRQs O_O</p>

<p>The test was ridiculously easy and the curve should be ridiculously lenient as always. I can’t believe that people could fail this test.</p>

<p>Are curves pre-determined?</p>

<p>Pretty sure they’re not. The curve should be much more brutal this year.</p>

<p>I’m predicting around a 160-170 raw score.</p>

<p>^^No, but they are partially based on previous years</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Nah, it’s always pretty easy. A raw score north of 170 is nearly impossible, btw.</p>

<p>I agree, if I’m close to a 4 at with those points (and really, I think I did better than what I projected on my previous post) it has to be nearly impossible to fail the exam.</p>

<p>God, I hope I don’t sound arrogant or anything.</p>

<p>Sigh.</p>

<p>Tents, I calculated your score for you with the numbers you gave. Your score falls into the 4 range. Look above.</p>

<p>I know, I’m just saying. I thought I did pretty terrible and was expecting a 3. If my score is around the 4 range, given how terrible I believed I did then it must be nearly impossible to fail that AP exam without trying to fail it, you dig?</p>

<p>I’m awful at APUSH, and I’m fairly confident that I scored within the 4-5 range. The MC wasn’t a ridiculous slaughterhouse, and the essays were indeed extremely BS-able.</p>

<p>The problem, of course, is that the test itself was not that hard. And thus, the curve will be far higher. I’m guessing a 4, maybe a 5.</p>

<p>(MC: ~20 wrong, none blank
DBQ: FAR easier than expected, predicting 5-7
Essay 1: (did question 2) also far easier, predicting 8
Essay 2: (did question 5) mostly BS, predicting 4-5)</p>

<p>Did anyone else feel that the documents almost gave you too much info on the DBQ? I had trouble bringing out outside information, because nearly all of it was in the documents. >.<</p>
