<p>i omitted 18 questions on the APUSH multiple choice because i wasnt 100 percent sure on them. I think i got nearly all of the rest of the 80 questions that i did answer right… but i was asking around and most of my classmates omitted 5-10 questions. is it bad that i omitted that many? i didnt know what the recomended number for omitting was but i also didnt want to get points off where i could get no points off.</p>
<p>@RedCatharsis</p>
<p>Thanks. But is that like barely a 4? I’m like freaking out about this. I wouldn’t feel so bad if I answered more MC.</p>

I omitted 30. Not purposely, it just happened. I think you’re fine.</p>
<p>kite - you definitely have a shot at 4. MAYBE a 5 even. i’m not sure how they calculate the score though so i can’t say for sure.</p>
<p>and be careful about discussing specific subjects in the test because the ETS is out to get youuuuu! haha. i’m itching to answer though because i know what they are :(</p>
<p>i was so excited when i saw the frq’s, i was like, I CAN HANDLE THIS! but another thing is… i noticed that when i rush, i make awful spelling errors that i probably didn’t proofread completely.</p>
<p>just wondering did any of you guys write then crossed out “Sparta/why so serious” on the exams? LOL I’m curious how many people actually did this.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It’s true. I can get multiple witnesses, and, somebody else confirmed that they wrote 7 pages too.</p>
<p>I mean honestly, if I said something like 10 or 11 then it’s really unlikely, but 7 isn’t all that amazing if you write continuously for all the allotted writing time.</p>
<p>I prepared all 15 minutes for EVERY essay, including the FRQ, so I wrote straight for that entire period.</p>
<p>My hand wanted to fall off towards the end…and my elbow throbbed…</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Like I said, that’s be a solid 4 if you get all 4-6 on essays I think and get no MC wrong. If you get MC wrong you’ll need 5-7 on the essays. If you have stuff above a 7 on ALL essays even with 50 MC, you’d get a 5. :)</p>
<p>But if you get some MC wrong (like say 10) then you need above 8 to get a 5.</p>
<p>So I think you’re still in a strong running for a 5 as long as if the 50-ish questions you answered were right? Or mostly right.</p>
<p>You can used this to calculate a predicted score: [AP</a> US History Review Pack Score Predictor & Generator](<a href=“http://www.4dog.netfirms.com/score.htm]AP”>http://www.4dog.netfirms.com/score.htm)
I don’t think that accounts for the curve though.</p>
<p>My thing with the essays, was that I spent the first 20 minutes planning all of them, including the 15 mins they have for the DBQ.</p>
<p>I thought the MC was pretty easy, possibly a little harder than previous tests I’ve taken. I’m sure I missed <10. DBQ I did terribly on, I just had no idea how to explain my thoughts… I still don’t really know how to write a US DBQ. Hopefully I got a 5 at least on it. For FRQs, I picked 3 & 5, I thought 3 was much easier than 2, but everyone I talked to picked 2. 5 was pretty easy, but I talked about A. Phillip Randolph’s proposed march on Washington, even though that was a few months before the war started. I hope they don’t count off for that. </p>
<p>I got a 4 for sure, 5 most likely.</p>
<p>I didnt get some question about “freedom , and propert rights” it was about 3 or 4 to last question on the MC. I narrowed to socialism or communism.</p>
<p>How many questions do you guys think we’ll actually be able to get wrong (I’m not talking about omits necessarily, just wrong) and still get a 5? I’ve heard you can get like a 60/80, but what do you guys think?</p>
<p>I did numbers 2 and 5 also. Is it bad that I did #5 first as long as I circled the right essay numbers at top?</p>
<p>i think the people who thought the mc was easy got form R or whatever… cuz form q was EXTREMELY HARD</p>
<p>I got the question with the graph going down wrong–first i put down carter, then tet offensive. I wasn’t aware of the penalty for guessing wrong. Maybe I just should have left them blannk? Or is it the other way around?</p>
<p>i only wrote a short thank you note for the readers :)</p>
<p>oh yeah, after the test i had to go straight to bio and guess what we did. WE WROTE 4 FRQS. @^#%$!^%@#$ </p>
<p>i was like- KILL ME.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>It was my APUSH teacher’s recommendation that if you can eliminate two choices, you should guess on a question. Apparently the probability works in your favor that way. (I’m not a math person; don’t ask me why.) He also told us that you should omit no less than 8 and no more than 12. Again, probability.</p>
<p>I personally omitted 11, five of which I was totally clueless on, the other six I was very iffy and unsure of what to eliminate. The rest I felt I could answer or take an educated guess on.</p>
<p>I picked 2 and 4 too! Even though my teacher warned us about number 5 a million times.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>They did a lot of Sparta last year, and at the AP conference, the leaders actually told AP teachers that a lot of graders were upset at the “THIS IS SPARTA,” but nobody could take points off for it.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>See, they’re assuming that you’ll get like a 5-7 out of 9 on the DBQ to get a 5.</p>
<p>But what if you’re a solid write and you are actually in the 7-9 range? Then you don’t need to get that many MC right at all!</p>
<p>Don’t allow for their predictions to make you afraid 
Don’t underestimate yourself!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Try republicanism? I’m not certain, ask around a bit more :)</p>
<p>Remember that socialism and communism both are more for a collective ownership of things, if not a literal interpretation of that.</p>
<p>Btw the MC was easy, IMO. I finished with 10 mins remaining b/c I was scared that Id run out of time. I spent too much time on my DBQ and my FRQs were rushed through.</p>

<p>posting this again… i’m freaking out about if this was too many to omit and if it was a good decision and my odds of getting a 4 or 5</p>
<p>^^ Crap. I put down socialism. FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF.</p>
<p>Now I feel really dumb because I definitely had forum R.</p>
