<p>Rats :(( </p>
<p>Well I’m confident hat is the only one I got wrong, 79/80</p>
<p>Uh… how did Holden get into Princeton if he missed the easiest question on this test -_____-</p>
<p>BassGuitar, he’s going for zoology he said in another thread, that and rowing are the only way he got in most likely</p>
<p>@HoldenMcGroin it was the radio.</p>
<p>So glad I crammed reading REA Crash Course Monday - that is a pure life saver! Love that some questions were almost verbatim with the book, like that Rachel Carson question. Probably helped me with ~55-60% of the MC. </p>
<p>@mingeh What’s the answer for the hat question? </p>
<p>Thank god for last minute studying: I ■■■■■■■■■■■ my way through the class, never did the assigned reading, and never took notes on lectures. I still did fairly well in the class because my teacher isn’t very hard and I could always pull off decent scores on the tests. After the Bio test on Monday I basically studied non-stop for this test.</p>
<p>I felt really good about the multiple choice. After going over the doc, i’m confident that I didn’t miss more than ~10 questions. I probably knew 10-15 of the questions all from stuff that I learned from the Adam Nash final review that I watched AT 11:00 LAST NIGHT. Still grateful I did that. Finished with plenty of time, reviewed my answers, felt good.</p>
<p>When I first looked at the DBQ, my first reaction was “Just give up, don’t even bother doing it.” After I read through the docs, I thought of a whole bunch of outside information and realized I actually knew a lot about the topic. I wrote about our initial policy of isolation as indicated by our failure to ratify the Treaty of Versailles/League of Nations, adherence to Washington’s FW address, and basically wrote my essay in chronological order detailing our shift to interventionism. I used 6-7 of the docs, and felt really good about it. We didn’t do many practice DBQ’s or essays in class, but this DBQ was significantly better than any i’d written in class. It was at least a 6.</p>
<p>Then I skipped questions 2 and 3 and went straight to 4. I reviewed reconstruction in a lot of detail last night and knew I could do well on this. I talked about efforts to achieve political goals, namely voting (15th amendment) and how they failed (literacy tests/grandfather clause.) Economic goals, namely how black codes established sharecropping, and social goals, including stuff about freedom, tubman, ACS, Garrison, Douglas, etc. Felt really good about this essay, but just looked it up and realized that DuBois and Washington were not part of this era and I wrote about them (though not extensively.) Hopefully that doesn’t hurt my score too much. Probably also a 6.</p>
<p>I concluded by writing essay 2 about puritans and the great awakening. At first I thought I was screwed on part B, but then just started to remember important facts that I had studied last night. I talked about how puritans founded their city on the hill and weren’t tolerant of other religions, leading Anne Hutchinson and Roger Williams to leave the colony. I then talked about how Roger Williams then founded Rhode Island and influenced the idea of separation of church and state and how that was important to development. I talked about how they created universities and were literate and how that influenced education, how their a democratic system of electing leaders and holding town hall meetings influenced democracy. I also talked about how their dogmatic work ethic helped them survive the early years of Jamestown. i transitioned into Great Awakening by talking about how Puritanism was strict and hard to live by, and despite the half-way covenant membership in the church and piety began to decline. I then talked about John Edwards and his “Sinners in the hands of an angry god” speech and how even Ben Franklin was invigorated by his speeches. I also mentioned Charles Whitefield. I mainly talked about how it was the first unifying movement and helped us unify against Britain during the Revolutionary war. This essay was really, really solid and I feel like an 8. </p>
<p>My DBQ was 4 pages and both FRQ’s were 3. I don’t mean to sound conceited, I was just really excited that I felt like I did so well after being worried about passing just a few days ago. I honestly enjoyed taking this test!</p>
<p>literally 90% of my class chose essays 2&4. i think i did fine on the dbq and first frq – i’m expecting in the 4~7 range for both, and i suck with essays so i wasn’t expecting any higher in the first place. the second though… i literally had three solid information: jim crow, black codes, sharecropping. but then my brain fried itself and i literally gave up OTL. so i’m expecting a 2~3 for that essay.</p>
<p>i got about 30 wrong on the multiple choice. serves me right for not studying until like two days before the test…</p>
<p>Anybody have an idea in which range (in 10’s) was the question regarding FDR and Braceros? And what was the last MC question? I’m dying from the stress I’m getting from thinking of the possibility of skipping just a single question. ;_;</p>
<p>I started saving questions for later near the 60’s, so hopefully its one of those few which I had to frantically fill at the end.</p>
<p>I thought that the multiple choice went pretty well. Probably about 60/80. I thought the DBQ was really easy. I used 7 of the documents and a ton of outside info. I’d predict a 7/8 on it. I felt like I was very repetitive and rambled on a bit in the FRQs though. Looking back, I’m afraid that that they might be confusing. I’ll most likely get in the 4/5 range on both of them.</p>
<p>eh, the mc was kinda hit or miss because a lot of them were rather specific questions. rather easy though imo. i’m unsure of how i did as of now…but i definitely know i passed. (i hope???) dbq was a god-sent, and i chose frq’s 2 and 4 like almost everyone else at my school who took the test. i was stuck on 2 and 3 because i blanked out on either of them. chose 2 because it was easier to b.s my way through but i definitely know i did horridly on that one. i did a presentation on the subject materials of 4 so i literally sped my way through that essay and had 30 minutes left…partially since i b.s’ed the other frq but whatever.
WE ARE FREE. not really i still have to worry about pre-calc wooo.</p>
<p>
LOL ikr. tbh when i read the question i was like “… uh… what? the freak do i know about this crap?” but then i saw the documents, and literally i was just like holla!!! because the documents answered literally everything in excessive detail.</p>
<p>How do you guys think the curve will be? OTL </p>
<p>@shinchang i don’t think it will be any worse than ~115/180 for a five, I feel like a lot of people messed up at least one of their essays (like me haha)</p>
<p>For the DBQ I used all ten documents. For outside info I mentioned the Treaty of Versailles, Wilson’s 14 points, how the League of Nations failed because the Senate wanted to be isolationist, the Neutrality Acts, the Stimson Doctrine, the Lend-lease program being a last-ditch attempt at avoiding conflict, failure of the League of Nations to stop Japan, the economic sanctions leading up to Pearl Harbor, the Marshall Plan, Truman Doctrine, the UN and the US embracing its role as a world superpower, and finally containment. </p>
<p>for FRQ 2, I did John Winthrop and the Purtians’ search for religious freedom, how dissidents like Rodger Williams went and started their own colonies, making America religiously diverse and open to all different kinds of faiths, how the Enlightenment inspired John Locke, Common Sense, Thomas Jefferson, and basically was what founded the country. I panicked with that because I thought I only had five minutes left to write it, when I really had fifteen. Still mad about that, I left out a bunch of details to make sure I got down the main stuff!</p>
<p>For 4, I did
I. “Reconstruction goals” Compromise of 1877, Freedman’s Bureau, Reconstruction Amendments,
II. “Oppression of blacks” Jim Crow laws, sharecropping, poll taxes/literacy tests and grandfather clauses, and the end of military reconstruction leading to the rise of the KKK,
III. “Weakening and violation of Reconstruction laws” Plessy v Ferguson, black codes, Slaughterhouse cases </p>
<p>deleted comment</p>
<p>How many people wrote about Jacksonian Democracy and the Whigs? I read the prompt for that and felt this was clearly the obvious choice over the one about the First Great Awakening and the Puritans. When my proctor looked through the test booklets after the test to see what options people chose, she said I was the only one who did that option. I didn’t expect it to be so one-sided. Weird. </p>
<p>@loves2ride You said you used Plessy vs. Ferguson, but I recall that the prompt asked you to confine your answer from 1865-1877. Wouldn’t that not be valid?</p>
<p>There was definitely more info you could’ve used for 3 than for 2 imo.</p>
