What was the answer to the court one. I put trial court</p>

What do you guys think a MC score of about 55 and missing 2-3 bullets in the FRQs combined would get me? A 4 or 5? I’m a bit concerned because I think I should have included more examples, in addition to being wrong in two bullets</p>

@supersain that’s most likely a 5. We only needed one example so as long as you got that right you should be good.
I missed the court one…that’s the one I was like “why the heck are they asking this”.
Um…I don’t remember any of the other questions anymore to even talk about them. But if you do…go ahead and talk about it all you want.</p>

are you talking about the court MC question? the state district courts have the most cases.</p>

i don’t think state district courts was an option.</p>

state appelate or state trial maybe?</p>

Don’t talk about the multiple choice. They reuse them, plus your score could be canceled.</p>

@ sara12</p>

lol</p>

I have a question- hypothetically speaking of course :slight_smile: What is the better indicator of voting, education or race?</p>

education :wink: loll</p>

The most important socioeconomic factor in voter turnout is education. - wikipedia</p>

I think at least 50 on the MC, not sure about anything more than that. And I missed 3b(or was it c?) on the FRQ, so what is, that, a 55? I’ve heard previously that an 80% is a 5,so I guess I got a 5 :D. Except I’m not so sure about the “substantive examples”. Where were we supposed to use those?</p>

The difference between this and the hallways is that this is “recorded” forever. No one can tell if you do it in the hallway. But it really doesn’t matter, I don’t see how they can see who you are.</p>

…i was asleep half the exam xD
which #FRQ asked for “substantive examples” again? i’m kinda worried now, cause i think i might’ve skipped half the instructions…</p>

Does anyone know when they release the FRQ rubrics? I believe they release them 2 days after the exam (so Thursday?) I think I will have a better idea of how I did after seeing that.</p>

What…substantive examples? Like specific examples of like people? Crap…</p>

I had no idea you needed substantive examples, I thought the whole entire idea of the AP Gov exam was to focus on the process, not the history…</p>

@yogibear that’s what I believe. But yeah, I agree. The rubrics will definitely give me a better understanding of what I scored.</p>

And I thought the instructions said to use substantive examples only when appropriate… So I only used them for one or two questions.</p>

the college board can get over it hahaha. do they really expect us to not talk about them AT ALL? they must be kidding haha</p>

So um…what are substantive examples?..</p>

Just regular examples, I guess. Substantive is an adjective to mean important.</p>

What is 45-50/60 on Multiple choice and scores of like 6/6,6/6/4/5, and 3/5 on FRQs?</p>

ALSO Substantive EXAMPLES? I only used scenarios and some examples like Plessy v. Ferguson and Brown v. Board of education…where did it even say that?</p>
