<p>I think I did pretty well, may have been easier than the regular date! :)</p>
<p>What did you guys think?</p>
<p>Multiple choice was alright but there were certain specific questions that were a b****, the ones asking about authors and stuff. The DBQ was extremely easy I wrote 3 pages , the essays on reconstruction and automobiles were rather difficult. I chose the one on reconstruction hopefully I can get a 5 on that essay because I just BS’ed.</p>
<p>multiple choice was not bad but the essay part, I think I did not give enough factual info- like laws, supreme court decisions etc. I may be doomed. but to be optimistic i may get a 4</p>
<p>The overly specific question in the MC killed me. Hopefully, my essay on Jefferson and Hamilton will have enough analysis. What did everyone write for that one? I just wrote that Hamilton’s plan was more pro business and encouraged industrialism,supported Britain so that they could be trading partners, National bank ,tariffs to protect infant industries, payment of debts, loose constructionist, and strong central government. For Jefferson I wrote he was a strict constructionist, but then changed his view during the Louisiana Purchase because he felt it was right for America. Then I wrote about strong state’s rights, opposition to tariffs on imports, and how Hamilton’s beliefs prevailed in the end during the Civil war. Do you guys think I could get at least an 8 on an essay like this?</p>
<p>The MC seemed harder than the questions from released exams. The essay prompts, however, I felt were easier than expected.</p>
<p>Also, just a reminder: we’re not allowed to talk about any specific test content.</p>
<p>Lol @Z.Exodus what is CB gonna do? stop being such a pansy</p>
<p>I KNEW they would ask something on Jackson… and they did. I honestly couldn’t remember much about him besides that he was corrupt, he got rid of the National Bank, and that he started the Spoils System. As for the Hamilton and Jefferson essay, my teacher actually had us do a huge homework on just that but it was waaaay back. =( I actually was good at both FRQ 4 and 5, and bad at 2 and 3. ._. My bad luck. I did FRQ 3 and 5 and wrote about how automobiles casued suburbs to develop that caused a segregation in people (minorities in cities, whites in suburbs) and how big shopping centers, drive in movies and sports industry developed and flourished. My theses for all the essays seemed kind of weak though… like I just restated the question sort of, with maybe a bit more. The DBQ was thankfully on WW1 but for one or two of the documents I had no clue what they meant so I just tried to interpret them as best as I could.</p>
<p>The Multiple Choice seemed like a joke at first, but then they really did get hard. </p>
<p>I think I got a 3… maybe with some good luck, a 4.</p>
<p>@Jimbo- I dont remember an essay question on Jackson?</p>
<p>And maybe a good curve? I know that I missed 4 multiple choice. How many can you miss to still get a 5?</p>
<p>mook32- I sure hope the CB cancels your exam.</p>
<p>There was a FRQ question on how the administrations of Jackson and Lincoln changed the power of the federal government, or something along those lines, swim. </p>
<p>I think I left about 6 MC blank. Getting a 5 really depends on how well you do on your essays and how many of the MC you get right and get wrong. I don’t think omitting 4 questions will affect you significantly. It probably saved you from getting a -1 point, since you probably omitted them since you didn’t know anything about them, I assume.</p>
<p>Lol @ puggly. You guys seriously need to take it easy with all these “rules”. Rules were made to be broken and either way I am not harming anyone. The test has been administered and there’s nothing can stop me or anyone else from discussing it.</p>
<p>The rules are there for a reason. You could have helped people cheat clear across the world in different time zones by giving them clues on what the exam will specifically be on.</p>
<p>I agree that you shouldn’t talk about the essay questions until a little later, but I am pretty sure that they have different forms for different time zones. Collegeboard is very cognizant of the fact that people do talk. For example, they have Form B for Alaska and Hawaii (?).</p>
<p>I think it is best to follow the 48 hour rule, just for personal safety.</p>
<p>@mook32 - Sorry about the super delayed response, but I’d like to say that there <em>are</em> reasons to follow CB rules other than fearing score suspension. We signed our names to a statement, and therefore we’re honor-bound to follow it out of respect for the contract. Just because the road is empty and you won’t be caught, doesn’t mean you should speed through a red light.</p>
