 I took the English Lit. and Composition AP exam yesterday and OMG I almost died. There was one question where you had to compare and contrast two poems and I was like "....;-;!!!!!!!!!!!! don't know what I'm doing!" It was sad ;-;

The first essay? Was it about death? I did epic on that essay. Love poetry essays.

| DBQ no longer stands for document based question? What the hell? I got a three on AP European History. I didn't study. No credit for college. Meh. Rocked both English AP tests. Although my use of fragments might lead one to believe otherwise.

Seconded. Except I got credit for my three (But I bubbled the Machiavelli question wrong so I deserved that three completely). And I could have done better on the English Lit. That being said, I don't totally suck at improvising thanks four years worth of Impromptu Speaking on my high school's speech team. I'm not as good as someone with that resumé should be though.

Document based question. It doesn't matter what they call it now; every essay is based on data. These are unique. Nope. My best plans are the ones that are thought far in advance.

| Generally, I'm very good at it. I didn't formally study for any of my AP tests (as in, cram, or anything; I went to class during the year and learned it that way) and did not plan on how to do the DBQ's, and I ended up passing 9 AP tests, so yay. I think the DBQ for Euro that I wrote on was about the EU (this was 2005!). I remember my FRQ was about comparing the Soviet Union with Marxism, which I wrote like 6 pages on and is what probably gave me my 4, as my DBQ was pretty awful. I had two finals today, both of which had essays involved. I studied for History for about an hour and English, about 15 minutes. I only needed mid-C's on both to get A's, so I wasn't going to sweat it, but I definitely had to improvise, because I had no idea what I was doing. EDIT: Questions I did: 1. Analyze various views regarding Western European unity from 1946 to 1989. 4. Compare and contrast the actions and motives of Martin Luther in the German states and King Henry VIII in England in bringing about religious change during the reformation. 6. Assess the extent to which the economic and political ideals of Karl Marx were realized in postrevolutionary Russia from 1917 to 1939. Last edited by Kirobaito; 05-10-2008 at 02:23 AM.
