<p>Yeah, on the frq I sat there for like a half hour even after I had reread all my responses. I had a lot of time after the MC too.</p>
<p>I took my sweet time with the FRQ. I finished with 15 minutes left.</p>
<p>Real easy. # 3 on the FR was kinda hard but i said all the right stuff it seems. Otherwise, simple.</p>
<p>if people were interested in discussing certain aspects of life, none if which pertaining to questions on the ap test, an AIM chatroom exists with the name cdapgovreview</p>
<p>Kinda fishy there Rahful. lol</p>
<p>“86/120 is the cutoff in the books, so 90 will be a safe score for a 5”</p>
<p>Yep yep. The exam was fairly easy, and almost everyone I talked to after the test felt the same way, so I guess I can assume that most of the test-takers did juuuuuuuuuust fine. This equates to a higher cut-off score / “harsher” curve.</p>
<p>To be safe, I’d say 95/120 would be cutoff for this year. (Considering the practice exams I’ve taken with cutoffs in the 90s)</p>
<p>I’m pretty sure I scored around 50-53 for MC, and a good 17+/22 on the FRQ, so yippee to a 5? :D</p>
<p>It sounds like a College Board trap.</p>
<p>so as far as inherent powers, buying land from a foreign country in the united states would be considered an inherent power? ^_^</p>
<p>i thought it would because i don’t recall reading how the constution says that presidents purchase land</p>
<p>I don’t know guys… Everyone was saying the same thing last year about how it was so easy… But only 12% got a 5, which is a bit lower than the other tests. I’m scared =/</p>
<p>Yeah, although the numbers seem to suggest that I should be able to pull off a 5…I have feeling that I’ll be getting a 4. eh, it’s cool though. I’m happy with a 4…don’t get college credit for it anyway.</p>
<p>IM NOT GOING TO TELL YOU ALL TO STOP TALKING ABOUT THE TEST BECAUSE U HAVE ALREADY BEEN WARNED AND ARE NOW DOING SO AT UR OWN RISK!!!</p>
<p>on a “permitted” side note…anyone know what the cutoff for a 3 will be more or less?</p>
<p>gpowsang</p>
<p>test seemed way too easy for my liking</p>
<p>what would 52/60 and similar success on frq give me?</p>
<p>about 50, I think</p>
<p>and no, I don’t think the curve will be harsher than usual</p>
<p>stop worrying gpowsang</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Nobody has articulated any questions.</p>
<p>What happens if the prompt asked for one example, but I gave two?
Would the grader give me a zero for that FR?</p>
<p>speaking of a.p. government, im looking for a summer job does anyone know where to find one (not about the $$ just about getting a job to do something during summer)</p>
<p>Seriously, calm down. As I previously said, as long as we aren’t specifically referencing a question, just discussing general questions about government itself isn’t going to get us in trouble.</p>

<p>DEFINITELY try the 2010 census. They pay more than minimum wage and it’s a summer job - sounds easy too. I already applied and I hope I get a call back soon. :)</p>

<p>If you have the right answer on the paper along with extra information there’s no way they would mark you down. They just wouldn’t give you extra points lol</p>
<p>The majority party question wasn’t specifically about the Senate or HoR, but I related it to the Senate anyway</p>
<p>I don’t think talking about the questions but not specifically mentioning the actual question is punishable by College Board?</p>
<p>Thanks squadus! I was freaking out b/c my teacher for some other AP said if we have more than the number of examples they requested, than they only grade the first example and don’t bother to even read the second one.
The test was easier than expected, but some of the wordings on the questions seemed confusing…found some traps lol
FRQ repeated a lot of the same ideas…which is better for us I suppose.</p>
