The official 2009 APUSH after exam discussion thread

<p>

</p>

<p>i’m trying to do the same… i haven’t discussed specifics yet. haha.
technically we can’t discuss mc questions AT ALL! x(</p>

<p>48 hours on the essays though. gah.</p>

<p>at my school about half of us had form q. i had form r and the mcs were okay. skipped 2. know i got one wrong… hopefully no more. many of my other answers were right.</p>

<p>i think the essays killed me. the topics weren’t hard, but i was stressed and didn’t do as well as i should have. i finished on time but all of them were rushed. i did 1, 3, and 5. also my handwriting wasn’t great.</p>

<p>arrrgh! was hoping for a 5. now maybe got a 4 or 3. i hate timed essays!!!</p>

<p>what are the differences between the forms?</p>

<p>guys, how much will it hurt if for one argument i accidentally cited something wrong?(for the dbq)</p>

<p>like for explaining it, i said it was the “x” movement when the “x” movement was actually part of a bigger movement, but the “x” movement actually had nothing to do with what i was arguing, but rather it was bigger movement. will i be docked off points severely for this? (inaccurate outside information)</p>

<p>I thought it went alright! I’m pretty sure I got a 5, which is swell.</p>

<p>For one of the FRs, instead of calling them internment camps, I called them concentration camps. I hope I don’t get points taken off. After all, they are similar.</p>

<p>I agree that we must not discuss the MC, but in response to the question raised about wwII and native americans, it was legit!</p>

<p>How did WWII affect Mexican Americans?</p>

<p>This test made me so happy. I hadn’t spent much time preparing for it - I have an alright long-term memory and I wasn’t worried. I just did the MC on the audit exam the night before and then studied the subjects that I got wrong. And I read a little in my dear AMSCO review book before the test. And it was absolutely crazy - it seemed like every little detail that I had learned in the 15 hours before the test was on it. I kind of felt like the main character in Slumdog Millionaire =)</p>

<p>Shoot, I called them concentration camps too… at first I called them containment camps, lol.</p>

<p>Hmm… I don’t think they can take points for any inaccuracy or any historical mess-ups (out of time frame). They can only give points, so they just disregard that stuff. But I mean, even if you put “camps” that’s good enough, it’s just not a specific “identification term.”</p>

<p>How much different are the two forms anyway? They can’t be totally incompatible…</p>

<p>I found the essay to be alright as I had over 30 minutes left to spare after I finished. Multiple choice was killer for me, which I don’t really understand as the practice tests I did very well.</p>

<p>Now that APUSH exams are done, do we still have to show up to class? I hope not.</p>

<p>I cant really guess how many i got wrong, but i omitted about 6, and i missed some stuff on the FRQ’s but i think i did well overall. The MC was okay in the beginning then gradually got harder – typical AP test i guess. i really want a 5… good luck to all of you guys :)</p>

<p>btw; i dont think i’m ever opening another history book again. haha</p>

<p>ditto haha</p>

<p>i wish i had taken it today :confused: uhhhh our ap coordinator did not sign up our class for ap exam on time. so we have to take it on 20th lol i guess i should start studying now</p>

<p>Okay, I need to vent. I spent forever studying for this. Okay, not really, but a long time over the past month and a half. My teacher isn’t really serious (not AP class), so I had never written a DBQ (before last night, that is…) Anyway, I didn’t include 2 to 3 of the documents and accidentally made reference to an event saying it happened 100 years after it really did. I made soooo so many scratch outs and spent to long on the DBQ that by the time I got to the last question I only had 15 minutes left. And I mixed up two abolitionists from different eras in the DBQ. My last essays was total bologna. I do feel pretty confident about the multiple choice, though. Honestly, what score am I likely to get?</p>

<p>I definitely did too! I was the only one at my school who answered 3. You think they’ll go easier on the grading since not so many kids picked that one?</p>

<p>Oh and does anyone think they’ll be mad for misspelling stuff? I misspelled abolition (as abolution) about 20 times. That was stupid, I know. But history is my strong point. Not spelling. Obviously.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Yep. AMSCO for me was a lifesaver on the test today. I’m so glad that I stayed home and read the book. I only got through half of it though. Still I think I managed to get at least 60+ raw score. I’d be surprised if I didn’t.</p>
