The official 2009 APUSH after exam discussion thread

<p>why are you guys discussing?
i know people who’ve had their scores canceled because of discussion on CC</p>

<p>Can anybody vouch for me whether this link is accurate?</p>

<p>According to it, if we got 60 right (20 wrong), and 6s on all the essays, we can get a 5?</p>

<p>anyone care to answer my question(s)?</p>

<p>I don’t think we’ve revealed too much about the DBQ or FRQ, discussing specifics would be in violation, just vague talk is fine (i did so good…this was hard…etc).</p>

<p>I believe that CB frowns against discussing SPECIFIC questions. As long as the discussion stays general, everyone is alright, am I correct?</p>

<p>its accurate 1a1, i posted it.</p>

<p>3 and 5 . . . odd that no one chose 3 here.</p>

<p>mc was difficult for me, essays were easy, i did 2/4</p>

<p>I did 2 and 4 too. MC was a little chal;lenging.</p>

<p>heh Erny, you wrote exactly what I wrote O_O Odd lol</p>

<p>gregb…how do you know that is accurage? it is EXTREMELY generous.</p>

<p>am i the only one who did 3 & 4 ?</p>

<p>

<p>Depends on how you used them. If you wanted to say what the period of 1775-1830 did to impact the Emancipation, that’s fine. But if you actually talked about the Emancipation impacting the period before it, that’s not good.</p>

<p>I personally talked about things prior to the period, like the Great Awakening and Jefferson’s Declaration of Independence/the Revolutionary War.</p>

<p>so what, mabel? the AP curve is very generous</p>

<p>I honestly thought the MC was not that bad. And I don’t think we could have asked for better essays. 2/4 here.</p>

<p>So, that calculator is accurate? Shouldn’t more people get 5s?</p>

<p>MC was a little iffy but essays were a Godsent. I beasted out the DBQ. Did 3 and 5 on the FRQ. We had just covered 4 in class, but I was absent that day, and I didn’t feel that what I learned from the make-up work was enough to write an adequate essay. 2 would have been easy too, but I was too afraid to be wrong on specifics to give it a shot. I was so worried that we wouldn’t have covered the essays since we haven’t finished the curriculum. The only one we didn’t cover was 5, but I knew enough about it to write a decent essay. (And at that point I only had 20 minutes so specifics had to be brief anyway.) </p>

<p>I know at least 10 people who wrote absolute BS for the essays (like, "Hi, my name is _<em>__. I am </em> years old. I like to _____.) So in that respect, I think I did fine. Maybe not compared to the rest of the country, but we’ll see in July.</p>

<p>i put the right sticker on my essay booklet but circled the wrong essay number at the top of the page. Do you think that will be alright…?</p>

<p>How long were your essays?</p>

<p>I had a 7 paged DBQ, 2 and 1/2 paged FRQ which was #2, and a 3 paged FRQ which was #5.</p>

<p>What else?</p>

<p>And no my handwriting is not godawfully large, it’s a pretty normal size.</p>

<p>Skipped 4 MC, felt it was decent</p>

<p>I really wanted something Jacksonian for the DBQ, but it was fine</p>

<p>2 and 5 for the essays</p>

<p>I don’t think anyone should be talking about free response questions specifically yet.</p>

<p>My DBQ was five pages long. Unfortunately, I mentioned something 40 years out of the time period. It was about four lines long, will that really affect my score?</p>
