The official 2009 APUSH after exam discussion thread

<p>

</p>

<p>How so? Hey, I’m here to learn, not to be told off.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>That’s much better than.</p>

<p>

</p>

<p>It’s not egregious? </p>

<p>

</p>

<p>Same. D:</p>

<p>Exact same thing for me too =( I used tons of info outside of the time period… </p>

<p>Oh well… I can probably still pull off a 4 =/ I wanted a 5 though</p>

<p>Wow…um… ok
So for the african americans, i totally forgot about FDR’s involvment and the migration to the north. All I wrote about (or more like BSed lol) was that african americans fought together with whites in desegregated units and how african americans fought for rights that they themselves didn’t have. I also talked about how the aftermath of WWII also contributed to helping women get civil rights afterwards…</p>

<p>Does that sound like a decent essay?</p>

<p>Yeah, for that particular essay, I wrote about the same kind of thing with the African-Americans. Hopefully that will be good enough… it was easy to write about the Japanese though…
Multiple choice was a killer on this one.</p>

<p>euurghh stupid dbq. totally unexpected and threw me off. i had some details but it’s either all or nothing because i’m not even 100% sure! D; </p>

<p>who did #4? it seems like everyone did 5 but the only problem i had with #4 was trying to figure out the differences between AFL and Knights of Labor… but they’re pretty similar so i don’t think there would be that much black and white differences.</p>

<p>Did FRQ #2 have a specific time frame on it?</p>

<p>Yes it did. It was the decade right before the American Revolution: 1767 (give or take a year)- 1776…at least I’m pretty sure that’s correct.</p>

<p>^ it was 1763</p>

<p>i thought the MC was ridiculously easy. but then again i was comparing it to the AP Euro MC from last year which was practically impossible. lol. and our teacher never gave us any released test or anything directly from the collegeboard.
all year we thought he was a horrible teacher, but then we realized…he didn’t teach us anything because we didn’t need to know anything! (: lol</p>

<p>i did frq’s 2 and 5 (:
haha someone in our school did 4 and 5 XD
i think i did okay on the FRQ and decently on the frqs, but i didn’t write a whole bunch. like 3-3.5 for the dbq, 2 for #2 and 1.5 for #5.
but i think it isn’t so much how much you write as what you say. b/c last year on ap lang i only wrote 1.5 to 2 pgs for all my essays and i still got a 5.
and for ap euro i wrote like 4 pgs for DBQ, 1.5 and 1 for frq and got a 4.</p>

<p>For FRQ 2 #2 I wrote about: Intolerable Acts, Stamp Act, Townshend Acts, Sugar Act, Molasses Act, Virtual Representation in Parliament (“Tax without Rep”), Angered the Citizens.</p>

<p>FRQ 5 #5 I wrote about Korematsu VS US., Japanese were stripped of rights even though some were there very early; lost property, emotional loss, embarrassment, the US said that Japanese were a threat. I also talked that Kore was turned over after many years and that even though Japenese (who were alive during the time of reimbursement received money) they couldn’t have there emotional toll repaid.</p>

<p>Man… I put that the British said they would free any African Americans who served in the military and that the colonists adopted the same program during the FRENCH AND INDIAN WAR instead of the American Revolution!
How much will this affect my grade? It was only a small point but I referred back to it in my conclusion… ughhh.</p>

<p>omg idk what bothers me more…people talking about the MC section after being explicitly told NUMEROUS times not to, or the fact the same d-bags are giving wrong answers.</p>

<p>the DBQ def caught me off guard…haha i was expecting Jacksonian democracy or something similar based on the discussion going on before the test. i think i was able to pull a decent essay out of my ass though. the FRQs werent bad at all…i did 2 and 5 and def thought they were pretty easy. MC was a little tough compared to the released tests we did in class.</p>

<p>By the way, my teacher is an AP grader, and he said if you mentioned the liberator (1831) or Nat Turner (also 1831) you will be fine. He said one year over the time period is o.k., they will still count it as evidence.</p>

<p>^^ Love you. My teacher who used to be an AP grader said they won’t count off, which was cool. But I’d rather get points like your teacher said.</p>

<p>no the FR2’s time period was 1763 - 1776. I know its 1763 because it’s the end of the french indian war.</p>

<p>we are allowed to discuss FR now, right?</p>

<p>“who did #4? it seems like everyone did 5 but the only problem i had with #4 was trying to figure out the differences between AFL and Knights of Labor… but they’re pretty similar so i don’t think there would be that much black and white differences.”</p>

<p>I believe the difference between AFL and Knights of Labour was that AFL was comprised solely of skilled workers and did not allow women nor blacks to join. Because they were skilled, they had the upper hand in making demands, while Knights of Labour, thanks to the Haymarket Square thing, was discredited as a group of anarchists… </p>

<p>That’s basically more or less what my essay was about, lol. </p>

<p>DBQ was awful! Form B is up online, and that DBQ is loads easier to write! However, I think the FRQs are much more difficult as they deal more of political, rather than social, aspects of history… my weakest points.</p>

<p>Inanimaticity-I actually feel the other way! I took Form B…and I prefer your DBQ question, but I am glad I didn’t get your FRQs. I would have NOT been able to answer FRQ4 or FRQ5 from Form A. at all.
With Form B’s DBQ, the documents were, annoying, because they didn’t give us any specific people, really, that we could cite. Also, the document about Lincoln suggesting that African Americans leave the States to go colonise Latin America, well, I totally had no idea that ever happened (is this common knowledge or what?) but I kind of went along with it cautiously…hahah. I threw in some words like ‘ambiguity’ and whatnot so that I wouldn’t commit dbq suicide by misinterpreting.</p>

<p>Did anyone else in here do FRQ number 3? What did you think? I did it because I remembered more about the events leading up to the Civil War and the Republican Party than I did about the American Revolution. Odd, I know…</p>
