The official 2009 APUSH after exam discussion thread

<p>who cares
its over
there are other things to do.</p>

<p>Yeah that’s the catch on 2. We had 6 people taking the test (no AP class), and some just gave a chronology of events. But you really had to get down to the gist of the problem. What’s the trigger? what could have prevented more aggravation? why was the final result brought about? </p>

<p>But to me, 3 definitely was harder even when I had spent a year on the era for an academic competition.</p>

<p>2 was easy, and I realized it was too easy, so I explained in-depth. That was definitely my best essay.</p>

<p>I swear everyone in here is insanely neurotic. I feel like the consensus is 5’s are unattainable and on the essays they expect some ridiculously amazing first draft. But that’s what the essays basically are, first drafts.</p>

<p>3 was actually easy for me… ergg i wish i could talk about it…</p>

<p>Just wait until tomorrow morning.</p>

<p>So… what happens if I used 10 documents because that’s how I was taught? Is it true that if I don’t have an equal amount of outside facts/evidence with the same amount of analysis, I won’t get above the 5-7 level?</p>

<p>I feel like I did really well on the DBQ, did okay on the second one, and idk about the third. I basically fluffed it up with commentary and not a lot of CDs</p>

<p>For the DBQ I used all but one of the docs, but as one liner examples, or a very short analysis, because I didn’t have time</p>

<p>Yea will the use of all 10 docs affect your shot at getting a high score?</p>

<p>Well…my 48 hours is up.</p>

<p>Well, the official 48 hours is going to be up at 11:29, at least for me. I think College Board goes by the end of the exam, rather than the beginning.</p>

<p>yeah, we were released from the exam at 12.45 central european time. and its 14.24 cet (2 days later obviously) now. but from what i can gather nobody in this thread took form b, so even if i wanted to discuss nobody would know what i was talking about.</p>

<p>So, do you think the curve will be closer to 114 or 116 for a 5? I was thinking lower because the dbq was a little tricky…</p>

<p>yea, any word on when we can begin discussing multiple choice questions?</p>

<p>When Hell freezes over ^.
You’re not allowed to discuss MC ?'s ever.</p>

<p>i wonder why we’re not allowed to discuss them…
that probably means they’re too lazy to write new ones and they use the same questions over and over =0</p>

<p>ha ha ha that was hilarious
i know is 48 hours afterward, so i"m assuming its soon</p>

<p>anyone who remembers all of the frqs should post them bc 48 is up!
i would post them, but i don’t remember them :(</p>

<p>hm, 48 hours will be over in about 30 mins for me, so I don’t wanna risk it :&lt;/p>

<p>I’ll post the questions then</p>

<p>AHHH!!! is 48 hours up yet!!! I’m so eager to discuss!!!</p>
