Just read some FRQs from the past and saw their scores. </p>
Yep, 90% sure I got a 5 on this exam. Which almost never happens in my school =D</p>
Why only 90%? How did you arrive at that number? Still, your confidence in having gotten a 5 hopefully won’t be misplaced.</p>
Okay, it was a random number, but I’m feeling some good things right now.</p>
And yes, I also hope that my hopes aren’t shattered into a 1.</p>
for #3, i said it was partially true because, although the 2 party system has flaws and sometimes leads to problems between the parties, it allows people to have their issues represented and gives them a larger voice. I also said that the 1 party system during the era of good feelings was no better, and could even be seen as worse, because the Panic of 1819 occured during that time and the 1824 election showed flaws in the one party system.
I supported this with 3 paragraphs ordered chronologically that went from Washington to the end of the Jacksonian period. (I didn’t say much about Van Buren because he was pretty much useless). I think that I had good facts and supported my thesis well
do you think that could get me a 9?</p>
everyone at my school picked 2 and 5…literally.</p>
I have to do a 15 minute long presentation on a thesis of my choice on an event/trend modern American History. I can’t think of anything to do that will be easy and easily researched. Anybody got any ideas? I’m desperate.</p>
^The Marshall Plan and how it really wasn’t as successful as it seems.</p>
Hey guys,</p>
I’m planning to self-study AP US history, do you think that it is “do-able?” Because I honestly don’t want to study this by myself but end up failing the AP Exam. Any tips? Is this manageable? Thanks in advance</p>
^ Yes, it’s manageable. Start reading lightly well in advance, start practicing essays a month or so before the exam, and really hit Direct Hits or Crash Course a month or two before the exam. You could start out with AMSCO fall of the year before, and then if you review with DH or CC you’ll be virtually guaranteed a 5.</p>
Supposedly, Collegeboard lost the essay portion of the 2011 AP US exam. I am not sure if this is for everyone or just people in my school.</p>
What do you mean they “lost” it? Did they misplace the thousands of FRQ booklets?</p>
Misplaced/Lost FRQ booklets are a somewhat common occurrence.</p>
Yes, but they lost all 300,000+ booklets?</p>
And if it’s a common occurrence, what happens to the scores of the people whose booklets were lost?</p>
</p>
Heavens no! They just lose a few here and there (booklets are shipped from school to NJ to reading location, AFAIK).</p>
</p>
According to my school’s AP Coordinator, those students have 3 options:</p>
<ol>
<li>Cancel and get a refund.</li>
<li>Retake at own convenience</li>
<li>Have the exam score extrapolated from the MC section (so if the MC is worth 50 percent of the score, the CB would take the MC raw score, double it, and convert that to the scaled score).</li>
</ol>
how did you guys do on the subject test?</p>
780 on the May test.</p>
^Same. When I looked at a past thread comparing AP and SAT scores, everyone who got 780+ on the SAT II got a 5 on the AP exam, but the sample size was 10-15 people, so the AP Stats student in me doesn’t want to conclude anything. xP</p>
When do scores come in for the AP US History test and the AP Language test? VERY IMPORTANT!</p>
^ July 1st.</p>
