<p>a lot of people picked 3 i think… and the scores are calculated nationally, not by how many people answered which questions in one school.</p>
<p>Picked 3 and 5. </p>
<p>Was stumped on a few MC questions and just wrote everything I could think of for the FRQ.</p>
<p>Didn’t seem overly difficult, but with my luck I’ll get a 4. -.-</p>
<p>I picked 2 and 5. Thought those were incredibly easy to answer. For MC, I skipped 8. Those were ones I had NO idea about. Aiming for a three.</p>
<p>I had never done a DBQ or written an essay for history before the exam, but I had analyzed the DBQs on ap central. Of course having to scrutinize documents was new and a bit challenging for me, but I can pretty easily bring depth to a few facts. I think I took some uncommon positions on the DBQ and #5. Major brain freeze when I first read the DBQ prompt!</p>
<p>For anyone wondering, I was not in an AP class, I read Crash Course one day before the exam, and I’m pretty confident (besides a mix-up in one FRQ) that I got a 3+. CC seemed to nail everything, and the things that weren’t in it were somewhat easy to make educated guesses on.</p>
<p>Overall I omitted ~5 or 6 on the MC, DBQ was pretty good with lots of relevent outside info, FRQ #2 I wrote 1.5 pages on but it included everything very concisely and somewhat briefly, but got my point across effectively. FRQ #4…■■■, I don’t know if I made a major or minor mix-up, so i’ll ask on Sunday.</p>
<p>BTW, haven’t heard any practical jokes yet. On the DBQ I put, ‘WHYSOSERIOUS?’ On the FRQ #2 I wrote, ‘I LOVE APUSH,’ and on the FRQ #4 I drew a box with the Great Depression in it, crossed it out, and wrote beside it, ‘DOWN WITH UNEMPLOYMENT!’</p>
<p>Haha.</p>
<p>All right… so for the DBQ, how many of you specifically cited? I was told NOT to do this by my history teacher, but I was very nervous, so I cited some and not others. I referred to them by their titles/authors. </p>
<p>Crash Course and Fast Track to a 5 are my favorite friends.</p>
<p>I used parenthetical citations as advised by my teacher, even when stating the name of the document.</p>
<p>the dbq was difficult… yeah. coudn’t remember anything.</p>
<p>Meh, I use [fact]…as evidenced by “name of document”, (DOCUMENT Letter) format.</p>
<p>I cited all 10 documents. Some I did “As stated in Document B” but most were in parentheses (Doc. E).</p>
<p>I think I cited maybe 7/10?</p>
<p>I didn’t use all 10 documents. I just couldn’t do it. I think I used 8/10.</p>
<p>Overall, I have to say that this test was much harder than I anticipated. I had taken several practice tests at home prior to the test and received at least 65 on them, but this one was a bit harder. I finished early enough that I was able to go through my first 70 questions and see the ones that I knew for sure that I got right, and I had 55 there. If we go by probability, I should get at least 5 of the rest of the 25 I wasn’t sure about, so that would leave 60 right, and 19 wrong as I omitted one question. Yeah, definitely overthinking this one…</p>
<p>I thought my DBQ was pretty solid, 2 pages, but my handwriting is about as small as you can get, so it still had a bunch of information. I’m thinking 6-8 on this section.</p>
<p>I chose essays #2 and #5, and all I’m gonna say is that they went much worse than planned. Without mentioning specifics, I forgot to say some really important things. And on #5, oh man, I really think I totally messed it up. </p>
<p>After playing with that score calculator a little bit, I figure that I need a total of 8 between my two free-response questions. Is anyone familiar with the scoring standards and how likely it is that I got a total of 8 between my two free response questions?</p>
<p>The MC I felt was easy. (65)</p>
<p>DBQ was random, but ok… (7)</p>
<h1>2 FRQ was REALLY EASY (8)</h1>
<h1>5 FRQ was my worst outing. (5)</h1>
<p>Those are my best case scenarios, which gives me a five.</p>
<p>I used all except the one of the Black church, 9/10 is good i think.</p>
<p>^ anything over 6 is good. I used 7.</p>
<p>Same here legend.</p>
<p>I’m relieved. Our APUSH teacher told us to never leave out more than one, (or two if absolutely necessary,) documents. I had to stretch it a bit to include 8</p>
<p>^ Mine did too. But if the Document is refuting what you said, why use it?</p>
<p>Thanks for assuaging my fears, guys. :)</p>
<p>Wow, I’m actually very surprised to hear this. My teacher told us to use half of the documents, plus one, so six of them.</p>
