Meh, I got a four when I took it three years ago and I was happy. That's one less class I need to take.
Good luck.
Good luck.
WTH? No way...I took Calc AB and got a 2. And by the time I was done with it, my brain honestly felt like it'd been through a dishwasher.

i'm opposite of you... got a 2 on American History, but got a 5 on Calculus AB
I still have nightmares of the DBQ 7 years later
Got a 5 on it three years ago. It's one of the few AP Tests that is worth six full hours of college credit in Texas, that's six hours of As for a fraction of the work required at the University level.
Hardest AP test? Not a chance in mother fscking hell. Even the calc ones are pretty simple. Take a look at AP Physics C or AP Chem if you want to compare. I'd venture to say that AP History is one of the easier ones because it's based upon memorization and not thought process, like Chem/Physics are.

hahah, that's exactly what I got.
I'm about to take it this Friday and I got roughly a 4 on the practice aps.
Don't sweat it.
Here's how you score it:
(Amount Correct) - (Amount Incorrect x 0.25) = Raw Score
Raw Score x 1.125 = Weighted Score
If Raw Score > 46 > 55, then Final Score == 4
And also, remember it is out of 80 questions

I think Physics C is the hardest for most people.... and the histories are just a matter of preparing enough factually and you'll do fine....
I got a 4 four years ago and I didn't study except for class. My teacher even gave us a packet with US History after the Spanish American War...naturally I didn't read it. Oh well, I like my 4...two less classes to take.
I can't remember what the DBQ was for my test, but I do remember opening the essay section, reading the DBQ, and having to hold back an audible yelp because we'd spent about two weeks discussing exactly what the question asked.Originally posted by: tigerbait

Oh, and just to show I'm pretty much a complete idiot when it comes to math, I got a 4 on U.S. Government and a 5 on English Language.
Nope, where can I get this mock AP US History test?
I've only been studying for Calc AB, because just finished the APUSH book like a week ago yet have been reviewing Calc for a good month.

Lol, yeah right. My APUSH teacher is horribly unprepared.
that's how i felt aboutmy apush teacher initially, but after taking a practice test, you see they did their job well.

Heh, I scored over 90% raw on practice exams. It's an easy test, don't worry too much. It's not like the test changes drastically year to year (unlike calculus & 1st year they allowed graphing calcs, oh the horror).
AP US History wasn't bad when I took it 2 years ago. I got a 4 on it, but our teacher drilled us with DBQs nearly every month during the year.
Calc BC was the hardest for me, cause I took it for kicks with no prep and I hadn't touched any of the material in it for 6 months (I had my community college Calc 3 final about a week after this Calc 2 final-level test), and they did allow graphing calcs, but I didn't use one. Got a 3, and that was leaving half the free-response questions blank.
The easiest test was AP Civics by a longshot. That was more of a credit to my Civics teacher though, I was the only one that year to get a 5 on it from my school and I didn't get an A in AP Civics.

I got a 4 on the AP U.S. History test and a 3 on the AP European History test.
There was so much info to cover in the European class and not a chance in hell of remembering enough of it for the test. I loaded that test with enough BS to fertilize a golf course.

possibly becuase before 2003, they announced what years the dbq would centered around
.got a 4 in apush two years back... i agree that it is one of the harder tests to take - you have to know what you are doing on that DBQ to do well. that dbq takes a lot of practice.
PMChris and i both killed the chem test last year though
. ooo i loved that test - got me out of a full year of chem, and a full year of lab. basically took away my chem graduation requirements except for one semester of orgo.TRENDING THREADS
