<p>I know it's taboo to refer specifically to the essay questions but I'm really freaking out here. I'll try to be vague.</p>
<p>I said the letter was to WASHINGTON and not JEFFERSON in my essay. How much do you think that will affect the score? I mean, I basically just talked about the rhetorical strategies...so hopefully it's not like a 1...</p>

<p>I’d say, if you wrote a 9-quality essay, the mistake would cost you nothing. If you wrote like a 6-quality essay, you’d lose a point, I’d say. Teachers would respect honest mistakes from good writers, but they will take the fact that you didn’t read the prompt well if you are a bad writer. That’s probably the only problem with holistic grading–teachers can basically form an impression of the student’s writing with peripheral ways.</p>
<p>ITS GADI!</p>
<p>Be prepared I’m reading your past posts.</p>
<p>Interesting insight I must say.</p>
<p>Ahh thanks that makes me feel a lot better. My AP teacher gave me nines on all the practice essays we did over the semester so hopefully she’s no easier than the official AP graders.</p>
