<p>would 7 wrong or 8 wrong still be an 800 or do you think that this curve will be lower than the one in the blue book.</p>
<p>It’s not a guaranteed 800, but it is a guaranteed more than 780.</p>
<p>nolstagic is wrong, a raw score of -41 is a 630ish. the curve is not “juicy” due to there being 90 questions and much more room for error. im surprised a prep school doesnt offer US history. mass market isnt trying to mean, thats not a great score and comes out near the 50 percentile.</p>
<p>Yeah I misread. A 45 raw score is around a 600.</p>
<p>The curve is juicy. -10 raw is still an 800? It’s one of the biggest curves right after physics and world.</p>
<p>If you calculated cardinal’s scores, they would be in the high 600s-low 700s. Much higher than the 550 or so average for test-takers. It’s not a great score, but it’s a solid score. MassMarket’s criticism thus is honestly unjustified.</p>
<p>Wow…maybe I was thinking of a different test. The mean is a 599. But it’s still above the average.</p>
<p>As I said earlier, I know that the quote itself was about Taylorism…but the question didn’t ask what the quote itself meant. But whatever, I’m done talking about it.</p>
<p>Just to clarify, does a raw score tell you how many questions you missed or the final score after the missed questions are deducted?</p>
<p>If I missed 10 questions, would my raw score be an 80 or a 77?</p>
<p>Alright collegebound lol, thanks for your opinion, fortunately I’m blessed with other talents so I don’t need an 800 to go somewhere good.</p>
<p>Good luck with everyone’s endeavors. Thanks again nostalgic</p>
<p>It would be a 78</p>
<p>Don’t worry about it. Collegebound seems to be a bit of a *****. With his attitude, college is probably the only thing he will ever be bound for.</p>
<p>I3auer, you aren’t doing any better yourself =_____=</p>
<p>@MassMarket That was extremely rude to say to him/her. I ACTUALLY TOOK the class for APUSH, managed to get an A for the year, and will probably get a 5 for the AP exam. Yet I still left 12 blank (I have no idea why because I never leave them blank, but I just freaked out and did yesterday, despite finding out later that almost all my probable answers were correct). Also, I probably got 15-22 wrong. Does that make my education horrible? Because at the end of this year my GPA will likely be ~4.86, I got a 2330 SAT, and I go to an excellent school. Just because I didn’t do all that well on this one exam, does that invalidate my entire education? A$$hole.</p>
<p>@Cardinal16 ignore him. Like I said, I took the class and for some reason freaked out yesterday and probably did not do all that well, so I know that has nothing to do with your education or intelligence.</p>
<p>Guys, please stop arguing. Let’s get back to reviewing the test xD
Was there one about what role did Native Americans play during the war? Or was that on the APUSH exam?</p>
<p>I agree with Born2Dance.</p>
<p>FYI, this isn’t an “Official” thread. The Official “May 2011 - US History Post-Test Discussion” thread would be made by College Board itself-- any other thread is unofficial. That’s just a pet peeve of mine about a lot of threads that claim to be “official” on this site because they create them first.</p>
<p>13auer, all i did was state facts and numbers. just because you dont know how any of the sat/sat subject scoring works or the definition of a penalty, doesnt mean you should use expletives.</p>
<p>Really, you thought it was easier? They go into much more cultural details than does AP. I found AP questions to be much more straightforward. Anyway…I think I can get 700 on SAT II, but a 5 on AP (strange the way curves are laid out).</p>
<p>I think the one about Native American role had something to do with them entering the war effort (Navajo Indian codes used as near indecipherable message transfers to generals during WWII–difficult question). Not sure on which exam it was on.</p>
<p>Native Americans were the AP test (what their involvements during WW2 was). The choices were something like:
They ignored America because they might get taken advantage of.
They helped the fight
They used it to set a pan-American (something)
…
…</p>
<p>They were used to make the WWII generals code system. Because their language is in itself a difficult language (and disregarding the fact that there were only a few of them left) it was the perfect choice. Thus, the choice about increasing involvement was the only plausible answer, no other Indians had such a significant impact on the war as the Navajos.</p>
<p>Yes, I put increased involvement too because I ALSO REMEMBER THAT special coding quote! now where exactly did I see that…</p>
<p>My AP teacher beat it into the students…I was one of those unfortunate ones under the looming threat of an enraged teacher.</p>
