<p>aced that multiple choice besides a 3 questions with weird names that I have never heard of. dbq and frq were fine i guess. expecting a 5</p>

<p>dammit i actually said like (According to Document B).</p>

<p>MC: typical - got around 60 right
DBQ: super easy, definitely got at least an 8
FRQs: crappy as hell. 5-6 on the first one, 3-4 on the second (now that I realize I don't know what "new democracy" is or whatever haha)</p>

<p>The MC was hard in comparison to the released tests. The DBQ had easy material/docs to use but made it a little hard to create a thesis, and the free response were harder than they normally are. Above-average difficulty after working with a lot of released material, but it's still pretty easy to get a 5 on this test.</p>

<p>MC- Harder than expected because there were so many questions on books and names probably the majority of the test takers did not know.
DBQ- Probably around a 7 if not an 8
FRQ's- Who knows.</p>

<p>I thought the multiple choice and the DBQ were extremely easy. Surprisingly, I thought the FRQ was actually hard.</p>

<p>MC: DEATH (bombed like 20 questions at least, i've been getting scores of 65 on practice exams)</p>

<p>DBQ: medium-bad, don't know how I did bad on this one, I always owned DBQ's in class.</p>

<p>FRQ1: medium (WTH is the market revolution???!)</p>

<p>FRQ2: :]</p>

<p>I guess I'm alone in thinking the MC was RIDICULOUSLY hard. It was SO specific! If the test had been more actual American history, as in broad concepts, changes over time, and bills/legislation passed, etc. I would have done MUCH better. Instead it was all names and obscure cultural references... I don't feel very good about that at all...</p>

<p>DBQ: Really easy - one of my best essays.</p>

<p>FRQ: Alright, but I wasn't as specific as in the DBQ. Still pretty confident though.</p>

<p>Hopefully my essays made up for my MC, because that was ugly...</p>

<p>MC: HARD!! idk how compared to other tests but yeah. i think there were about 16-20 questions that i took a semi-educated guess on.</p>

<p>DBQ: yeah i didn't study anything after WWII so there's barely any info in my DBQ that i didn't get from the documents. i mean i didn't even know that LBJ was president, but i took a guess and it was right :)</p>

<p>Short answer: i did 3, 4. i liked #4. #2 was okay, kinda easy.

<h1>of points on AP</a> US History Review Pack Score Predictor & Generator was 123. or something</h1>

<p>The MC were hard, period. And this is coming from someone who has an A+ in APUSH from a school where 90% of the APUSH students get a 5, as my teacher has tracked for the past 10 years. To not get a 5 at my school is to be considered a retard. </p>

<p>However, with the APUSH Curve being as easy as it is, getting a -20 on the Multiple Choice as long as you get a 8 on the essays or a 7 for borderline will still land you well within a 5 range. So many people take the exam that the curve is pathetic.</p>

<p>Don't worry, most of you will get a 5. You just need a 7/9 on all your essays and a ~60/80 for the MC.</p>

<p>Wow, I thought the MC was the easiest thing EVER! But maybe that's because my teacher's tests are extremely hard. I finished with like 20 minutes to go and was bored to death (skipped 3, they always have to put some lame authors -.-). The DBQ was all right and FRQ 2 was fine but FRQ 4 I BSed half the thing. Predicting a 5 though.</p>

<p>


</p>

<p>That's a bit high. All you really need is ~55 questions correct on the MC and 6s on all your essays. Of course, this will just barely put you into the 5 range, but a 5's a 5. :)</p>

<p>yea I didn't know any of the authors, but other than that I really didn't think it was too bad</p>

<p>Conservatively, I'm guessing 20 wrong, omitted 5, then 6/9 on all the essays...which is a 5 if I'm not mistaken</p>

<p>I'm pretty happy</p>

<p>^thats...very borderline :)</p>

<p>MC was hard! FRQ was a bit easier</p>

<p>How mistaken do you think you could get for a question without being "completely" (get a 0) off topic?</p>

<p>MC was a breeze...but my essays were on the short side 2.3 pages, 1.75 pages, and 1.5 pages...but idk i don't write that big...</p>

<p>i confused horatio alger with alger hiss. way to go...lol :)
there were a couple of bad MC questions...</p>

<p>probably if you write like "Ap exams are fun"</p>

<p>Instead of answering the questions</p>

<p>I was terrified of this exam because we didn't get through the textbook and I crammed from PR the night before and AMSCO earlier this morning. I was in shock (in a good way) when I saw the exam.</p>

<p>MC - WAY easier than all of the practice exams. I'm glad we took our time going over specific things in class (predicted: 55-65/80)
DBQ - didn't even read about that until last night, but I worked something out, 3 pages
FRQ - moderate difficulty. wrote 2 pages each</p>

<p>I'm not too sure about my scores, but I'm much more confident about this exam than I was this entire week.</p>

<p>multiple choice was ok. Some of the questions were pretty specific, but i think i did all right.
my essays sucked though. i spent a lof of time on the DBQ crap and it's still pretty bad. How much outside info do you need? And can u cite documents like (A) for Document A? I read somewhere that i could but i don't really know. I think they grade really harshly on the essays too. Some of the ones on apcentral aren't even that bad and they have 3/9.</p>

<p>Oh and do u guys know if it's a big deal if i didn't circle 1 for all the pages i wrote my DBQ. I just forgot. I circled the FRQ numbers though.</p>
