<p>I thought it was very difficult :-x</p>
<p>haha essays weren't too bad, everybody here finished all 4 in under an hour</p>
<p>I thought essays were easy, but multiple choice was hard.</p>
<p>Fourth essay was very ambiguous. One of the features was "raising the limit_______" (don't want to be giving anything away, now). </p>
<p>That could be raising as in lifting or raising as in increasing. Hmm.</p>
<p>Multiple Choice - left one blank; a bit dubious on 2-3.. but I answered the rest quite confidently</p>
<p>Free Response - eh.. not too bad. I'm a bit worried about part (a) of the first multiple choice.. I don't know if I answered it right; I listed institutional qualities</p>
<p>Overall.. I don't know. I want a 5.. but yah can never tell. I'm just hoping I didn't make any stupid mistakes on the MC. And how did you guys answer the essays? I answered mine with a page length each (too small?).</p>
<p>*I don't remember that, Addicted.. I think I choose the other two options -- money and restrictions.</p>
<p>i wrote 9 pages total, but only probably around 8 if you take out blank spaces at the end of a few of the answers. i didn't really include a lot of crap either, i just talked about court cases for all of them, which takes up a lot of space</p>
<p>I didn't write that much for my essays either . . . . I wrote the front of the page plus some on the back . . . it varied a some for each of the essays. You don't need an intro or cnoclusion though so it shouldn't have been too long. Essay graders usually like it when you get to the point since it makes it easier for them to grade your paper.</p>
<p>Yeah.. I didn't write a buch either, but I think I hit the main points well. And I also thought I didn't know ****.. I mean felt like I hadn't learned anything.. but all the MC's were suprisingly simple. It was either interpreting graps, or knowing definitions.. for the few harder questions, cramming PR did it for me.</p>
<p>what is the curve?</p>
<p>what percent of the test do you need to get right to make a 5?</p>
<p>really hard curve. </p>
<p>like, 50/60 to get a 5.
and good essays</p>
<p>Essay question number 3 killed me. The whole question had to do with that 1 term and I had no idea what it meant.</p>
<p>yea...only like 6% of those taking get a 5...granted it has like A LOT taking but still...</p>
<p>Hey 2+2, I know what you mean. It got somebody in my class as well, who loves politics.. I felt really bad. Thankfully, I had read the PR book. But I can see how not knowing that simple term can screw it up so badly.</p>
<p>how do you think like 45-50ish with 7/7/6/6 on the essas will fair? 4?</p>
<p>I didn't think it was too bad, there were a few concepts I never heard of because my class was a little weird (often sidetracked, it was fun though)</p>
<p>ehhh it was alright. on us history last yr i got a 4 so i'm hoping for a 4 on this one. but whatever, my school next year, ucsb, gives the same credit for 3, 4, or 5. i'm so over everything right now.</p>
<p>multiple choice, i left 2 blank. i don't feel that confident about that but we'll see.</p>
<p>i was excited about the supreme court case essay though. i took law class 1st semester and i really knew all those cases by heart and spewed out lots of supreme court quotes, lol.</p>
<p>i did the essays out of order too lol.. i did 2, 3, 1, 4.</p>
<p>ap's are over w00t.... <em>puts extra AP number labels on forehead</em></p>
<p>I thought it was easy. ONy afew mC i wasn't 100 % sure. The essays i think were easy too, especially the last one. It could have been much harder</p>
<p>what are the essays scored out of?</p>
<p>hmmm, the essays were quite easy. However, I am not sure I gave enough evidence and/or supported the court cases strongly enough. MC's were easy, too. </p>
<p>I'll be happy with a three though -or a four, for my ego-, as I already had this class through dual enrollment at a local college. </p>
<p>By the way, are we not supposed to not be discussing this at all? That always cracks me up. :D </p>
<p>Out of curiosity what school are you guys attending?</p>
<p>The essays aren't scored on a 9 point scale. If you go to the apcentral website (and create an account) you can see how they score the essays. You don't have to actually write essays. For mine I just put like letter a (to respond to the first part of the question) and just wrote my reponse. I didn't have an intro or a conclusion, just answered that part of the question.</p>
<p>Also, I thought the MC was really easy but i don't think that the essays were as easy as everyone made them out to be. I thought question three was easy and then on the other ones I really had no clue how to respond to certain parts of the prompt. I can't really remember which parts exactly right now. In two days when they come out online, I will specify what I am talking about.</p>
<p>oh really. i just wrote alot, since i had alot of extra time lol</p>
