MC was easy, My DBQ was money, Changes and continuities was alright, and my C&C wasn't the best, but i'm predicting a 3 or a 4

multiple choice was soooo easy. I wrote so much for the dbq that i almost didnt have enough time for the other essays. the only didnt that i didnt do too well on was the last essay, but it wasnt even that bad. overall it was a lot easier than the practice tests i had taken

i thought the C&C was easy shit because we reviewed both yesterday at review class. change over time was easy too because i picked latin america. although, a girl in my class chose the same thing and mentioned something about communism, which i didn't. something how communism looks down on religion and they conflict.

but the thing i'm really worried about was the DBQ. i wrote a solid 9 but i'm not sure how well i answered the question relating to my thesis (which will obviously pull me down). i used all the docs, had my PoV, bias and what additional docs would help with my thesis. BUT, my thesis was something like "mechanization in the textile industry was both beneficial and detramental to those involved in the industry."

now that i read that, i realized that it could be refined a little. but the question was to compare the industries in india and in japan? so whats going to happen to my score on that essay

My teacher used to grade the AP test so she taught us all the rubrics and stuff, but the only one i remember was the DBQ
by the end of the C&C i was kind of dragging, but i think it came out ok.
I forgot to do global contest for the changes and continuities, too.

for my thesis in any of my essays, its never just one sentence. i always include sooo many details in my thesis paragraph and my thesis statement is always like 4 or 5 lines. i do this for every essay that way it ensures i get the basic core points for the thesis because if you dont get that then you cant get any of the expanded core and the highest you can get is a 7

The compare and contrast was really hard for me, but the DBQ and CCOT were easy.  The multiple choice was what I was expecting:  not too hard, but not very easy.

That's such a joke. 

Our proctor couldn't help but laugh when he said that, and I couldn't figure out if he was serious or not.
