Official Ap Us History Thread! (: 5/9/08

<p>If you skipped to the next page after you were done with the DBQ, I don't think they'd take off anything as long as you marked the beginning of the next one. Did you mark page 1 on the first page of your answer though?</p>

<p>i'm not sure if i marked the first page. i did skip to the next page after i was done with the DBQ and marked the rest of the questions.</p>

<p>The AP test was pretty darn easy. The multiple choice was really easy compared to the tests my teacher normally gives. I thought the class was really time-consuming but after taking the test, I'm glad I had my History teacher. </p>

<p>The DBQ and FRQ #3 were really easy. My teacher spent a whole week on both topics which made giving examples and the affects easy to write about. C, on the FRQ was harder.</p>

<p>^^ same i was panicking becuz we didnt really finish the curriculum, so i attempted to read the whole REA review book the night b4 and only got through the different colonies lol ;p, but it worked out to my advantage</p>

<p>MC: was never good at these, but i think i got around 50 right 20 wrong
DBQ: godsend
FRQ: 2 = godsend
4 = semi bs</p>

<p>In all, i hope i got a 4 ;p, and like sum1 said above, at our school last year basically everyone got a 4/5, so im praying i dont get a 3 and become the reject of my school x_x</p>

<p>MC: Hopefully, I got 70+ right. MC tends to be my strong point.
DBQ: Felt like I put in a lot of outside info, minus some relative vagueness on one of the aspects the question asked for.
FRQ:</p>

<h1>2--This is probably worth a 4/5 (out of 9) :(</h1>

<h1>4--Eh, I think I might've spent too much time on it based, but I think I did okay-ish.</h1>

<p>MC: I don't really know... I felt like I knew a lot of them, but on at least 20 to 25, I narrowed it down to about two good answers and had to go with my intuition. Hopefully that will work out well for me. </p>

<p>For the essays I'm worried that I wrote too much or got some of my facts wrong. I wrote 4 pages for the DBQ and my first essay, and 3 pages for the last essay. I tried to use as much outside information as I could on the DBQ and obviously tried to incorporate as much information as I could for the other two, but I'm scared that I didn't put enough information in. </p>

<p>Overall I think I passed... that's about the only thing I'm sure about lol. I got a 5 on the World History last year... I felt that I did WAY better on the MC last year, worse on the DBQ, and better on both the other essays.</p>

<p>relax, take it easy guys, 5s all around</p>

<p>^^ I wish... It sucks, I am not in an AP class, so I had to learn all of Vietnam by myself (we just did JFK's inaugural in class the other day), without any real preparation for the DBQ or FRQ... if I get a 5 that is pretty darn impressive (in the most humble possible way) but I probably won't... so who cares??</p>

<p>I took APUSH in one month in May '07 as part of JSA Summer School at Princeton.. it was also the pilot year (the first year JSA taught APUSH as part of their summer school). </p>

<p>Needless to say, I had a lot of self studying to do.</p>

<p>I studied all the way up to 1960 using the AMSCO book and ran out of time after getting sick. I figured "eh, what the hell, they won't make us write about the modern era.."</p>

<p>During the break between MC and essays I told my friend "I'll be really ****ed if the DBQ is on the V. war or something.."</p>

<p>Guess what the prompt turned out to be.. :p I just laughed out loud.</p>

<p>Stone_cutter: yes i definitely remember four straight B's and I think C's... thats not supposed to happen on SAT's, but I think it works with the AP's</p>

<p>thebeef: sorry to hear that... im sure you'll still get at least a 4...</p>

<p>Those essays were really hard... the dbq wasn't bad though.</p>

<p>Multiple Choice (sorry but I think of of WoW raiding when the abbreviation mc is used)--I found this pretty easy throughout...a few questions where I was torn between two choices, but I'm confident in my guesses. As usual, the questions about early feminist-types always get me.
DBQ--I was super pumped when I saw the essay topic, we had just covered it in depth about 2 weeks before...couldn't ask for an easier one to write about--I mean its not like its totally obscure like some of the past ones.
FRQ--Didn't enjoy the first two choices, but chose choice 2 because I don't know what the market revolution is lol. I finally developed a good thesis by the conclusion paragraph, if that counts for anything. I found FRQ 5 fun--even though I couldn't really go into the early conservative movement like I wanted because it wasn't in the time period--I had decent background info and a solid thesis for this one.</p>

<p>Prediction: 5 -- would be a dissapointment if I didn't because I worked my ass off in this class all year.</p>

<p>molten core... strong addictive game, so glad im done with those (atleast for now haha)</p>

<p>MC: harder than i thought. I was getting 60 raw score but yeah i think i got worse. Sucks
DBQ: easiest one ive ever seen
FRQ: Damn hard for the first one, easier for the second.</p>

<p>Prediction: 4 (hopefully a 5)</p>

<p>my essays: 4 pages DBQ, 3 pages FR1, 3.5 pages FR2</p>

<p>Please do not post anythng about test content. Thank you.</p>

<p>For frq #4, I misinterpreted the definition of, ahem, what the leaders wanted.....but still generally got out the same points as if I wrote in the correct context. How much do you think this will this affect the frq score by any chance</p>

<p>Complete domination.</p>

<p>Multiple choice - Generally pretty easy. Only had enough time to check over half the test, though. Didnt leave many blank.</p>

<p>DBQ - 5 pages (8-9). Easy to talk about topic, they esentially created the thesis for you and it was easy to get the sources to line up with the thesis. Used all but 2 sources.
FRQ #2 - 3 pages (7ish). Fairly difficult because you had to reach so far back in US history! Once you recalled all that information from the beginning of the year, topic was easy to talk about.<br>
FRQ #4 - 3 pages (7ish). Weird topics, but after getting a rough idea of what they wanted, they were easy to talk about.</p>

<p>do we know what score we got on each section >.< i would like to know!</p>

<p>i dont think so narcissa, i heard it just says your score on the score report, like "4" or "5"</p>
