The AP US Government and Politics Thread

<p>No, I’m actually a senior and have four exams, so I’ll be kicking myself in two weeks if I don’t just suck it up and get these credits.</p>

<p>what the heck, for some reason i got a damn 2 on the sparknotes,but on my barrons test i do way better? ***!?</p>

<p>Does anyone know the raw score needed to get a 5?</p>

<p>I think it’s around 50, give or take depending on the difficulty of the test. </p>

<p>Keep in mind that the essay has to be high quality as well.</p>

<p>Hmm… I haven’t started studying (we’re taking the makeup test on the 22nd) but on the Practice test we did in class, I got 54/60. So I’ll be fine?</p>

<p>I just took the exam! lol, it wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be… I think I did pretty well on the multiple choice… maybe 50/60 ?
And the free response was pretty good too, except I’m not sure whether I got the House/Senate one right or not…</p>

<p>OMG THAT TEST WAS SO EASY!!!</p>

<p>Wow I am sooooo happy. There was nothing on bureaucracy or anything hard, the MC was so freakin easy. This ROCKS!!!</p>

<p>Can’t talk about the FRQ for another 2 days but they were SUCH common sense</p>

<p>Just took the exam, and I think it was WAY easy. I’m expecting 50+ on MC and as for the FR I think I did well, but I can’t talk about the subject material for two days. ^^; I’m thinking a 5 quite possibly. ^^ Definitely a 4.</p>

<p>There will be an especially harsh curve.</p>

<p>Also - I got an 5 on the APUS Exam, and after taking the SAT II US History, I thought it was very easy and expected nothing but an 800. I got the results back and it turned out to be 760; not bad, but most everyone on CC was shocked how low their scores were for such an easy test.</p>

<p>Be cautiously optimistic.</p>

<p>Blah. messed up on a couple mc looking back now. =[</p>

<p>Yeah, that is true. I still think I did well enough. I’ll just have to try hard not to get too presumptious.</p>

<p>i forgot gfn</p>

<p>

Darn :(. Hadn’t really considered that but I think you’re right. Still, I got about 52-56 MC right on my practice tests and don’t think I did any worse on this. Was worried about the essays, but they turned out not to be bad. I was surprised about the lack of specifics.</p>

<p>Wow, that WAS easy. I feel kind of scared though because I don’t feel like I did that well. I didn’t really try thinking too much so maybe I didn’t do as well as I could have. Oh and the first essay was sort of confusing…
The PR book was REALLY good though, I think Barron’s was completely unnecessary. </p>

<p>Here’s to hoping for a 5 on my first ever AP exam.</p>

<p>Hoping for a 5. I’ll be happy with a 4 though. :)</p>

<p>yeah i agree the first question was confusing.</p>

<p>yea i used PR book and it was really good
probably a 4</p>

<p>Did the answer to the first question have something to do with College Confidential’s College Conflicts Contrary Cats Computer?</p>

<p>Isn’t it so weird to think how we score on this one exam with 60 multiple choice questions and a few random paragraphs ends up translating to how many college credits we get for it? It’s just so funny to think about…</p>

<p>By the way, when are we allowed to discuss specific questions on here?</p>

<p>MC questions? Never, unless this year’s exam gets officially released by CB.</p>

<p>FRQs – we can talk about them after 48 hours. </p>

<p>Anyway…that was too easy.</p>
