<p>minimal studying, e-z</p>

<p>Am I the only one that thought the test was kind of difficult? At least more so than the released tests from previous years. Any predictions on the curve?</p>

<p>Yay wasn’t bad :slight_smile: but what did you guys put for the frq asking about “bureaucratic discretion” with public policy?</p>

<p>Bureaucracies can implement policy how and how fast they want to, even with legislative oversight.</p>

<p>was the one about something that the federal reserve board’s answer something like
‘changing the interest rate to stimulate the economy’</p>

<p>Dang this test was really easy. MC was easy, FRQ’s were easy, feeling great!</p>

<p>Not sure if I can ask this, but did anyone hear about whether or not there were multiple versions of the FRQ’s? Don’t know the specifics but I heard that some people got the one with that “bureaucratic discretion” question someone mentioned, but others got completely different ones… are they on separate curves? That one seemed way harder than the others…</p>

<p>There are multiple forms. So one test has different multiple choice and frq’s than another. As far as I know there are only 2.</p>

<p>There’s always an alternate version–Form O is the main form, Form E is the rare alternate version.</p>

<p>I got a 5 and found the test really easy. So, I think whatever one predicts when it comes to this year’s test is probably going to be pretty accurate.</p>

<p>I self studied with Princeton Review and Kaplan, and then did a really short book called MaxMyScore (I finished it in about a day). I got a 4. I am a rising Sophomore though, and I believe I could’ve done better if I actually had the class. I studied perhaps a month or month and a half in advance.</p>

<p>Ended up getting a 4. I used REA Crash Course but I probably didn’t study enough to be prepared for a 5.</p>

<p>Got a 5. Found all the free responses (except maybe the fourth one) really easy and the MC was fairly simple as well.</p>

<p>5 as well! I studied with only crash course but couldn’t make it through the whole book…guess it was still enough though.</p>

<p>Got a 4 lol. That class was a joke</p>

<p>4</p>

<p>ehhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh it felt so easy</p>

<p>Just starting my AP study grind today. All day until Tuesday morning. I currently have Barons review and flashcards. Should i jsut read through and highlight then outline? Also is the REA Crash Course a good supplement to the barons (after i finish it). </p>
