I hated those obscure bills.

Lol we went through those in class. Crittenden Compromise, Wade-davis, etc.

Ah yes...the bills...the Supreme Court cases are almost as much fun!

Yes, reconstruction is common topic.

I took the opportunity to condemn Andrew Johnson for being the hapless, unskilled, out of his depth, boob that he was and laid the fault squarely at his feet.


It was fun.

I took it in my junior year of high school(that was about 6 years or so ago). I scored a 4 on it. I remember it being much easier than My AP European History Exam from the previous year.

If I was around then, my name would have been in the paper...for having killed the lazy a$$.......Seriously...The best presidents of the 20th century: FDR & Teddy...THE best...

Oh yeah...when I'm high, they're awesome!!


Actually, I think they're pretty interesting...Just shows how the Supreme Court is always 10-20 years behind in reasoning...

Teacher's first year teaching AP US History. Majority of the class failed, I got a 1 because I knew nothing and put those AP stickers all over my essay.

I would have loved it if there had been...Ones about Mass & Virginia economics and the effects it had on their politics was off the wall...

 

[computeerrgghh]

[MDE]

Took it in 2002, was pretty easy to me and I got a 3. Didn't study at all but had an awesome teacher I actually paid attention to.

Yeah, thats how I was..I was done with 30 minutes left, so I drew a comic in my green book...I didn't think about it at the time, but my APUS teacher is goin see that! crap...

 

[magomago]

easty easety easty. i got a 5....the MC was a good brain flexer, but i didn't htink i missed more than 5

and the free response was exactly what we thought it would be, and since we prepped for three or so essays it was fairly straight foreward.


don't worry, AP us history is all about regurgitation~ just cram to the last second and vomit all your information on the paper

That's it, I'm calling up the College Board to get your scores invalidated.
