<p>can someone answer my question?</p>
<p>is it just me or are ap tests much easier then predicted?</p>
<p>anyways..as for us history today, the mc was a breeze, i left 9 blank and fairly sure the others are all right, MAYBE 3-4 wrong..dbq was also easy (5. pages), third essay was also easy, it was mainly the second one that killed me. I wrote 1.5 pages for one topic, then couldn't think of anything about the topic, so i x-ed out both of those pages and started all over again with another topic for the second essay, so yeah, total of 14 pages including the crossed out 1.5 pages, and finished in time...im thinking 5? not sure!</p>
<p>I thought the MC was pretty easy and straightfoward... a lot of questions looked EXTREMELY familiar. (My teacher always takes questions from past-AP tests and puts them on our unit tests...)</p>
<p>Yeah, the DBQ was way too broad, although it was predictable; I guessed the topic correctly last night. I had a crapload of outside info to add. I hope I had the right idea/thesis though, lol... Other free response questions were pretty easy and not that picky.</p>
<p>Hoping for a 5.</p>
<p>i thought i did pretty good on the MC. However, I was totally OWNED by the DBQ. I got totally unlucky and wrote a bunch of BS. But my two FRQs were beast. I'm hoping I got a 4.</p>
<p>don't know too much about the pencil thing...although it's clearly stated u need to write the essays in dark blue or black ink.</p>
<p>man im sick of you people saying tests are easy all the time. no, it was NOT eaaaaasssyyyyy like so many of u make it out to be. yall said the same about english. maybe some of you are super confident abotu every test you take, but the majority of us are not, so quit rubbing it in.</p>
<p>i got a 3. didnt answer 9 on MC, probably got around 10 wrong on top of that... my DBQ was really good, my first frq SUCKED!!!!!! oh man! if i did well on that, id be confident for a four. and my second frq was average, nothing spectacular, but not awful either.</p>
<p>two questions tho... i didnt put a conclusion on my DBQ, because by the time i finished my last body paragraph the proctor said u shud be moving on to frq question...is it still possible to get max points for a dbq without a conclusion? my dbq was really really good, and it would suck to lose points just becuz i didnt write a 2 sentence conclusion.</p>
<p>AND, i didnt have any conclusion sentences...like how ur supposed to hav a topic sentence at the beginning of every paragraph to relate the paragraph to the thesis, i did that, but i didnt put any conclusion sentences at the end of the body paragraphs...is that all right? :-/</p>
<p>at least the AP tests are over! now i just got SATs tomorrow, SAT IIs in june, and ACTs in june... whee...</p>
<p>The DBQ was terrible (mostly because the topic was so boring that I almost fell asleep writing it), but I thought the rest of the test wasn't too bad.</p>
<p>The multiple choice I thought was really easy. I didn't omit any (never do) and probably got 3-7 wrong. DBQ I thought was easy, although my only worry is that I didn't use the documents enough. Do they really even care about that? I thought my first FRQ was solid, but probably not spectcular. The AP scorers are way more lenient than my teacher though, so maybe it could have earned max points. My last essay sorta sucked. I didn't know as many details for that one, so I just decided to write a simplistic essay in the proper format for that, throw in as much as I knew, and spend the extra time on my other two. Think I got a 5.</p>
<p>i lucked out so much</p>
<p>i had studied the 2nd topic from the first frq TO DEATH and knew the 1st topic from the first frq REALLY well</p>
<p>i also knew the stuff about the DBQ really well</p>
<p>and the MC seemed really easy</p>
<p>i think i did really really well</p>
<p>i feel MUCH better about this test than i did last year after i took the euro AP test, and i got a 5 on that so...</p>
<p>The way that I approach multiple choice is, I always answer almost every question (this time I left 1 blank). But it seems like every test there are about 15 questions which I felt pretty sure about, but wind up getting wrong.</p>
<p>I thought the 2003-2004 APUSH Princeton Review book was very helpful, especially on the FRQs. I know it's kind of old (mine's checked out from the library); did anyone else use it?</p>
<p>Can anyone answer my earlier question..</p>
<p>Do I have any hope if I bombed the DBQ, yet I absolutely dominated the last 2 essays and did decent on the MC?</p>
<p>yea, and as a follow up, what about doing well on MC, really well on DBQ, but bombing the frq?</p>
<p>So that is basically the same as me, good on the entire test but one screwed up essay</p>
<p>I just took my exam today, and I think it wasn't too bad. I totally owned the essay questions but I think my second one was kind of meh. Multiple choice I had about 18 starred but out of all of those I think I got most of them right. Anyway, in response to a post above, you have to use the documents dont you? One has to use at least half of the documents to get full credit, and I think there is something on the rubric that talks about how one has to use a sufficient amount of documents or something. In writing practice DBQ's my APUSH teacher took a ton of points everytime somebody didn't use at least half of the documents and continually stressed the importance on this. Anyway, I got a 4 or 5, I hope. At least a 3.</p>
<p>Well the DBQ is worth 15 points, but each FRQ is worth 9 points. So if you did great on FRQs, but bombed DBQ, good luck.</p>
<p>The DBQ was easy! The first set of FRQ raped me. I didn't know anything about any of those two topics. The last set of FRQ was better though.</p>
<p>I think I did well (probably a 3)... considering that I STARTED studying yesterday :)</p>
<p>I realized after the test that all my thesis statements were basically BS and then I just showed what happened (because I remember crazy amounts of dates and names and events) and just made statements that this proves my thesis statement. I hope that's how you write them lol</p>
<p>Is this against collegeboard rules to discuss how you did something?
I read that thread about the kid having his scores invalidated by CB, so I'm hoping none of us will since we're just discussing the general things about the test rather than specific questions</p>
<p>no dude its fine, chill. they wont invalidate ur score for this, we're not discussing hte specific questions. </p>
<p>anyone got any answers for my questoins? they were:</p>
<p>i didnt put a conclusion on my DBQ, because by the time i finished my last body paragraph the proctor said u shud be moving on to frq question...is it still possible to get max points for a dbq without a conclusion? my dbq was really really good, and it would suck to lose points just becuz i didnt write a 2 sentence conclusion.</p>
<p>AND, i didnt have any conclusion sentences...like how ur supposed to hav a topic sentence at the beginning of every paragraph to relate the paragraph to the thesis, i did that, but i didnt put any conclusion sentences at the end of the body paragraphs...is that all right? :-/</p>
<p>I think I got a 4 or a 5.</p>
<p>MC was fine, omitted 4, pretty sure I'll get 55-65 raw score.</p>
<p>I raped the DBQ in the ass - I added tons of stupid facts, used six documents all together, and it was like 3 pages long.</p>
<p>FRQ were ok, not exceptional though. I did 2 and 5.</p>
<p>I do think that the topics were kind of off-kilter a bit, as they did not seem to me like really MAJOR themes (a la Civil War, WWII, Cold War, Jacksonian Democracy, etc.). But, I still liked them, and felt like I worked with them fairly well.</p>
<p>Can someone evaluate what I might get on the AP?</p>
<p>I think I got 55-60 right. Omited about 10 and maybe got 5 wrong? I'm guessing that I got around 5-7 on the DBQ, a 1-3 on the first FRQ, and a 3-4 on the second FRQ. </p>
<p>Do you guys think that's a 2, 3, or 4?</p>
