This thread is for those that took the late AP US History test on 5/18/11!!!</p>
MC very straightforward- I missed two or three questions tops.
DBQ- slightly difficult topic but not so bad
FR Essay- easy topics
Overall I’m confidedent I’ll get a 5.</p>
<em>NOTE</em> - I did not study for this test until the night before, when I skimmed through my notes once.</p>
I thought the MC was a little bit more difficult than the practice exams my teacher gave me. Still pretty easy though, I’m thinking I’ll miss 10 or so.</p>
DBQ - Pretty easy, I wrote three pages with a fair amount of outside information and I used all documents but one. If I analyzed the documents to answer the question well enough I’m confident I’ll get a 7, probably an 8 or 9.</p>
FRQ #1 - Not too bad. Slow start while I thought of outside information to use but overall I’m pretty confident.</p>
FRQ #2 - Really easy, nailed it with tons of outside information and analysis. I’m pretty confident I got an 8 or 9.</p>
Probably got a 5, but I’m 100% sure I got a 4 at the worst. The MC was about the same difficulty as my practice tests and I got easy 5s on those, and the FRQs were all the same or easier than my practice tests, so I probably didn’t get any worse than 7s.</p>
MC was soo easy. I breezed through the first 15 questions. There were a lot of questions that i knew only because i crammed last night (who ever said that cramming doesnt help is wrong). My essays were average probably a five or 6 at best but i don’t care because my multiple choice should seal the deal. I’m predicting a 4.</p>
I agree that the MC was much easier than expected! I’ve been studying for a week or so, but last night I crammed with the Direct Hits US History in a Flash (pretty much the best prep book I’ve ever used. Ever. I would recommend it in a second), and I think that the cramming helped the most with the multiple choice. I thought the DBQ went okay. I wrote 5 pages, but I’m a little rusty on DBQ essays so I can’t be sure. I also thought the other two free responses were decent. Fingers crossed for a 5!</p>
^Students on the US History in a Flash FB page are also reporting that the DH book was a huge help.</p>
Unfortunately, I’m not so confident. I guessed on a lot of the MC 
I thought the DBQ was pretty easy (used all but one document), but COMPLETELY ran out of time on the FRQs :’( I did #2 and #5, but did 5 first, came back to #2 in the last ten minutes and tried to write as fast as possible, but it was terrible. I really, really need a 5 so I’m just hoping that I did well on the MC… and that I got a good score on the DBQ. </p>
What is a likely score for using all documents but one? My teacher grades a lot harder than the average, and I would only get 5s on in class DBQs (only using about 6 docs though). This was probably the best one I had ever written, so I’m hoping an 8 if my teacher really does grade a lot harder than average!</p>
REA Crash Course and Direct Hits were AMAZING for multiple choice and offered many helpful test tips that saved. Strongly recommend it to people taking APUSH next year</p>
I liked the FRQ’s sort of. Not too crazy about the DBQ.
I was so-so on the multiple choice, What did you guys think of this???</p>
100% got a 5</p>
Hey all,
Quick question…do any of you know when we get our scores back. I know they will be delayed but I want to know what kind of time frame I am looking at. Thanks!!</p>
@Sunshine99, I heard it was August but I’m not positive</p>
Thats annoying, I am going to have to spend all summer wondering… Thanks though!! :)</p>
Is the late APUSH test the same as the normal one? Also, why do some people take it late?</p>
^Not the same test. Time conflict, illness, emergency, etc.</p>
