<p>The MC was easy but what annoyed me was that it was in a pretty contained time period!</p>
<p>The DBQ went pretty good for me, not the CCOT question haha, and the Compare contrast was O.K. I spent about an hour and and 10 minutes on the DBQ lol</p>
<p>^ contained? i still had 10 minutes left over after spending 15 minutes on two questions i didn’t know =/</p>
<p>mc was pretty easy (then again some people on CC are fretting over getting a max of 5 wrong. i think i’d get around 10 wrong, but it was easier than the mock exam we had at school and i got a little over 10 wrong there)
ccot i used info from a non-history class for my answer
compare and contrast was amazingly simple. i mean, you could’ve gone a lot of ways with it and what they were asking was such a standard question (like you could find it in all the ap prep books) it just took me by surprise.</p>
<p>MC was pretty easy! I left about 8-5 blank, I didn’t count them which is like killing me because I don’t know how many I skipped! I regret it though, I should have just done 50/50. I have horrible multiple choice skills.</p>
<p>The FRQ prompt was pretty good too. I owned the DBQ because I had a bunch of info on it (though I’m not sure about my groups… I had 3), my COT was good too (wish I had more continuity than change though), and my C/C is decent (I was kind of vague, provided more info in one region than the other). I wrote like 6 pages on my DBQ, 5 pages on my COT, and 4 pages on my C/C, plus very sloppy handwritting. Hope my reader will have fun :)</p>
<p>So here’s my prediction:
MC: 58/63 (assuming I skipped 7)
DBQ: 5/9
COT: 4/9
C/C: 4/9</p>
<p>the average for essays are like 2/9, so idk how the readers will grade mine. i usually get a 6-8 on my in-class essays though</p>
<p>Anyway, hopefully I got a 4. I got a 4 on my mock AP exam and that was a *****load harder. Btw, do any of you guys think those PR practice tests were harder than the real test? Idk, maybe it’s just me but the questions on the MC were way more general than I though. I loved it.</p>
<p>Just wondering… Does anyone know what was the result of the Mexican Revolution?.. Not saying that this was a MC question at all. Just an interest in an APWH event post exam…</p>
<p>^Umm they were still poor and life still sucked and one-party leaders totalitarians took over. I <em>think</em>. We watched a movie about the Mex. Rev., but I slept through half of it.</p>
<p>For the CCoT, I chose the second option. It was pretty easy to write the essay once I realized there were two distinct civilizations between the specified time period.</p>
<p>@NorCalSwag Yes! I took the two PR exams in the back of the book and pretty much bombed them, the ap exam mc, for the most part, was a nice relief.</p>
<p>Just curious, my APWH changes our grade for the two semesters to A if we get a 5 on the exam. Does anyone else’s teacher do that? It seemed quite generous to me.</p>
<p>@Kylash, my teacher does that too. I don’t think it’s fair for the people who don’t do their homework all year and get a 5 out of luck… The people who actually study for 5s and do all the work usually have "A"s anyway x-x</p>
<p>@hueyosie, I don’t necessarily agree. Euro for us was ridiculously hard. People have come back from Georgetown/Northwestern and told my teacher that his class was more challenging than similar classes there. Our class average was a 4.6 (I think one person got a 3, but she was failing the class miserably), but grade wise, we had 1 A, 1 B, 15 Cs, and 3-4 Ds/Fs in the class.</p>
<p>@Chicago701 In your case, if the teacher was intentionally super challenging so you guys would do good on your ap exams even if you didn’t get a good grade in the class but said that if you got a good score on the exam you’d get an A, I think that’s fair. In my apwh class, it was pretty easy to get at least an A just by reading the chapters and studying for tests and quizzes. Some people didn’t want to go through the effort of doing this the entire year but still felt really confident on the real exam just by cramming at the last minute o-o In my case, I don’t think that it’s fair if the students get an A in the class just for getting a 5 on the ap exam because the grade is for the class, not the test… kwim? I don’t think I said that right lol… I have a headache x3</p>
There were three choices of regions/empires. Weren’t you supposed to pick two of them and compare them? So far you’ve only said that you picked the second of the three choices. But which of the three choices (first or third) did you compare it with? lol</p>
<p>The choices were:
R
M/G
H</p>
<p>(If you can remember the first letter of each choice, you’ll understand those abbreviations. :p)</p>
<p>My teacher is doing that, whoever gets a 5 will receive an A. I think it’s fair because technically the course is suppose to prepare you for the test. So, if you get a 5, the course basically served it’s purpose and it shows that you understood what was going on. My teacher is only gonna raise it based on our work ethic - if the person was sleeping during his lectures and never turning in assignments, then obviously he won’t raise the grade. Usually whoever got a 5 has an A anyway though. </p>
<p>I’m hoping that he’ll change my grade, I have a feeling I got a 5 now. I have a B right now because I missed like 2 weeks of school… :(</p>
<p>Teachers receive the scores in July, and then they can go back into their grade books and change the students marks. That’s how it works at my school. Apparently, they can change the grades of a student whenever they want as long as they’re attending the school. Pretty cool.</p>
<p>Me either, Matt. I planned my essay in the reading period, and popped the essay out in 20 minutes, start to finish. I went and finished my DBQ, then worked on the C/C essay, and still had time left, so tried to elaborate on the CCOT but couldn’t think of anything. Not too much changed over time, really; just two impacts (one larger, one fairly minor). <em>shrug</em></p>
<p>I can’t wait to see what others wrote when we can start discussing this tomorrow evening. :D</p>

It could actually mean the exact opposite, as well. If the teacher sucked, the student probably took it upon him/her-self to study the material on their own, thus improving their score significantly. =/</p>
