<p>It rolled me. All parts. I spent my entire time on Guilded Age and Progressive Era. Gambled and lost.</p>
<p>maverick, are you sure about those numbers? Doesn't that mean you could do great on the MC, get a 9 on the DBQ, and not even do the FRQs and get a 5?</p>
<p>MC was kinda hard. I didn't miss too many, but I made some stupid mistakes. Never had proper instruction; I just studied on my own. I absolutely loved the DBQ and FRQs.. I was thinking the DBQ would be on Gilded Age or something recent, but I know early history more so I was so excited. Wrote about 7 pages I guess. Hoping for a 4.</p>
<p>i heard they dont --- someone yesterday wrote one in pencil and she had to go over it in pen --- i dont know what will happen for u - sorry to hear that :-</p>
<p>i omitted about 6. i think i probably got about 54-60 right for MC. luckily for me, i owned the essays. i took the DBQ down hardcore and then i killed the last essay too. my second essay was good but maybe a little fluffed to take up some space. i liked the topics very much. mc was a little harder than practice exams but overall i feel good about the test. hopefully i get a 4, maybe a 5 if i really tore it up</p>
<p>okay i have a question.. this may seem weird since I know of yall had actual instruction in the DBQ writing, but I didn't have much</p>
<p>When they say use the documents do they mean cite the documents and actually reference them in your essay or just use the ideas expressed in them?</p>
<p>I've always cited them...</p>
<p>Felt the test was pretty easy...bugged by the two I know i shouldn't have got wrong but changed my answer and did. Only left one blank. I'm a pretty good student of history so I'm expecting a 5, which is what I got last year on the Ap Euro. </p>
<p>DBQ was pretty lame, but felt pretty confident on it. Did the second choice for B and C, C's prolly under a 7 =x</p>
<p>I thought the multiple choice was fairly easy. I never leave any blank...I hope that doesn't bite me in the ass. There were a few that I got down to two answer choices and then guessed. Oh, one of them- I believe it was the 3rd question on the last page...I had NO CLUE at all on that one. seriously. i just stared at all the names and frowned for a while. and then later some people told me that one was easy. so fine. </p>
<p>The DBQ...well I wasn't expecting it at all, but it went okay. It was a fairly straightforward question and gave you nice little categories to use and all that. So it was all right. Not great, but all right.</p>
<p>The first set of FRQs. oh man. I did the 2nd one and it kicked my ass, but the first one would have kicked my ass even harder. That essay was pretty fluffed up. Oh well.</p>
<p>The second set, however, went great. I could have done either of them (my teacher predicted what that first one would be about, so I studied it a little extra), but I chose the 2nd because I just happened to have a lot of knowledge about that period. That was probably the best timed essay I've written for history, so that was cool.</p>
<p>I'm predicting I'll get a five, or maybe a four. We shall see. </p>
<p>When is it that we can discuss the questions, btw?</p>
<p>I didn't think it was too. The MC's were waaaaay easier than the practice tests I had taken (which is not to say that I aced them or anything, just didn't screw up as bad as I was expecting), I'm guessing (hoping?) for like a 60 on that part. I had never done a DBQ before and I don't think I really quite followed the format that they wanted, how many points would they dock for only using like 2 or 3 documents? I think I focused a little more on theory and less on fact than I should have, but the topic wasn't too bad, could have been much worse. The first FRQ though, ho-ly s***, I had absolutely no idea on that one. I wrote about a page and half of BS on the first topic, I'll be lucky for a 3 on that essay. But luckily I knew the other FRQ really well and I think I had a really good essay for that, I'm hoping for an 8 on it. All in all, it didn't go wonderfully and it didn't go terribly, I'm thinking a solid 4, with a very slight chance of a 5.</p>
<p>MC = so-so. I never ever leave any blank, but I supposed I missed around 20. So that's like missing 25. 55 questions right? I really suck at APUSH.</p>
<p>Spoofy, you got around 65-70 right, considering there are 80 questions, not 70.</p>
<p>However, I was completely saved by the FRQ and DBQ. I don't know diddly squat about APUSH (horrible year, and it's my least favorite subject of all time no matter who teaches it anyway) and I completely lucked out.</p>
<p>Man, I totally killed those essays. To my supreme fortune, the topics were the only things I knew inside out.</p>
<p>Yay me.</p>
<p>Edit: a 3 is fine. 4 would be fab. 5 is dreaming. I know I passed it. So I'm guessing my score would be 3-4.</p>
<p>Last year, I got a 4 on AP Euro = a miracle. Someone tutored me for like hundreds of hours before the test. The tutor = psycho, but also a miracle-worker.</p>
<p>how hard is it to get a 5/9 on DBQ and Essay on APUSH exam??</p>
<p>easy... just attach ur $10 to that exam.</p>
<p>sorry oxi, i just saw your question</p>
<p>yes i am sure because last week we took the full 2001 test as a practice in my APUSH class and then she graded our MC and essays and gave us the conversion table</p>
<p>i came out of the AP euro examination last year feeling horrible. took friends to persuade me not to cancel it. turned out i got a 5. still don't believe it. This test felt sooooo much easier, so i'm hoping for a 5. Everyone agreed though. Unanimous. now i'm nervous :/ what if the curve is really nasty because of this?</p>
<p>here's the full breakdown for that edition</p>
<p>114-180: 5
92-113: 4
74-91: 3
42-73: 2
0-41: 1</p>
<p>((#right MC)-(.25<em>#wrong))</em>1.125)+(DBQ<em>4.5)+(FR1</em>2.75)+(FR2*2.75)= your score</p>
<p>Maverick,</p>
<p>Are you POSITIVE those numbers are right? They seem too good to be true. </p>
<p>I plugged in what I think I could have got (worst case), which was 30 multiple choice wrong, a pitiful 4 on the dbq, 6 on FRQ 1, and 8 on FRQ 2...This gives me a total score of a 4. I thought you had to almost ace it to get a 4?</p>
<p>it is NOT unanimous that the test was super easy--dont let these boasters fool you, there are people like that who say that about every test. more people are saying it was difficult than there are people who said it was "eaaaassssyyyyyy"</p>
<p>im sure the curve will be decent.</p>
<p>and yeah, im with kevin... although maverick's calculations do indeed seem right, its a little fishy that u can do so crappy and still get a 4</p>
<p>this is not like other tests. it is extremely easy to get a 4.</p>
<p>also you have to realize how hard it is to get anything above a 6 on the free response--the grading is very strict</p>
