<p>Okay so apparently you can’t talk about free response questions, so I’ll just say I used “The Overcoat” by Nikolai Gogol as the symbol for The Namesake.
'Nuff said (according to CollegeBoard…)</p>
<p>Probably everyone writing about the namesake used that symbol, though. Ugh.</p>
<p>Wow, I had no idea Heart of Darkness was so commonly used! I wrote about it, too.</p>
<p>i thought we are not allowed to talk about specific stuff on the exam?</p>
<p>lol i really want to say what i wrote to get your guys opinions, but I dont want to risk it haha</p>
<p>I chose “The Scarlet Letter” for the open prompt. Open prompt happens to be my weakest section, so I made sure to choose the easiest book that fit the prompt. I murdered style and analysis; I think I did an exceptional job on poetry.</p>
<p>Predictions:</p>
<p>Style/Analysis = at least a 7
Poetry = 5
Open Prompt = 5</p>
<p>Multiple Choice = 40</p>
<p>All I’m hoping for is a 4. English is my least favorite subject, so I’m just glad to get this over with. I’ve got Biology and Physics on Monday!!!</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m scared of discussing this out in the open before Saturday, but I will say that I used “darkness” as a symbol for Africa and man’s “primeval side” in Heart of Darkness.</p>
<p>lol I’m glad that I’m not the only one that is it afraid of talking about the essays directly. :D</p>
<p>Oh wait, I thought you could discuss free-response questions after the exam but not multiple choice?</p>
<p>Well, in 48 hours you can. So if you might want to edit your post.</p>
<p>i think i got above 5 or above for each propt (not sure tho) because i had os much stuff to write for each
mc was kinda fail…idk yet</p>
<p>For the MC i heard you could never tlk about them…ever. But for the essays I think its a 48 hour rule after the test.</p>
<p>did anyone else use The Kite Runner for the open prompt?</p>
<p>Yeah, I edited my post.</p>
<p>BTW is it okay (for poem and prose) to restate the prompt? because honelsty our teacher didn’t go over how to write thesis for poem/prose so i just wrote like “blabblah demonstrates stuff through imagery, etc, w/e”</p>
<p>idk if thats really a thesis…but my support is ok-good ig uess</p>
<p>When I was reading the third question, I was really mad that I didn’t bother to look over The Glass Menagerie, since it would have been a really good work to write about.</p>
<p>Two AP’s left for me. AP psych on Tuesday and AP Spanish lit on Friday, which should definitely be a lot easier after taking this exam!</p>
<p>Collegehelllp: My school has a similar rule that anyone taking an AP test gets out of the final, as long as his/her grade average for the class is above an 80. They just started it recently as an incentive to get people to take AP tests.</p>
<p>ChandlerBing: I love your reason for editing. Its soo true. :P</p>
<p>Zlyice: Good luck on AP Spanish lit! Once again, exempting AP semester exams would be amazing. Maybe I should talk to my principal.</p>
<p>I used A Prayer for Owen Meany for the third prompt. I was so glad that I wrote a research paper on that book this year.</p>
<p>As far as the MC and other essays go, I thought they were pretty easy. There were a few hard MC questions, so I didn’t get to the last 3 (which I saw were easy), but I thought overall the MC section was easy. The two other prompts were very manageable and easy to analyze.</p>
<p>can someone answer my question lol</p>
<p>i thought the mc was pretty straightforward</p>
<p>the poem wasn’t too bad…probably a 6?
second passage killed me lol, we never did anything like this in class…probably a 5?
i liked the third one, wrote 3 pages, i used the kites from the Kite Runner as a symbol…i think i did well on this one</p>
<p>Is The Namesake considered a “unique” book to use for the third prompt? It was on their list, to my surprise.</p>
<p>tehcakeisaLIE</p>
<p>i did the same thing lol</p>
<p>now can anyone answer my question?</p>
