If I could describe the test in one word it would be long. The multiple choice part I did not think was that hard, I've walked out of Mr. Whitten's room feeling much worse about myself than I did after taking the A.P's multiple choice section. I was surprised that the questions were more about general knowledge than specific details. I do not think I was asked one question about a specific leader or religion. As far as the open response goes, I almost laughed when I read the DBQ question. Connect cricket with politics? I honestly felt over prepared for a question like that. The next two questions were pretty random as well, but I felt confident about answering them in the format we used in class. I tried to treat it like it was just another in class essay, and I found that I finished each portion of the open response with a good pace, each response taking about 40 minutes, the DBQ slightly longer.
I feel that we reviewed for the test as best we could, but when you don't know what the College Board is going to ask it is hard to know what to study. I am just glad the stress is over, and now I can focus all my academic attention to relaxing over the summer.
