Menshevikism

| | Comments (4)

I'm three-sevenths of the way done with this year's round of AP tests. After a reasonable showing on Calc BC and misery on Physics C, I redeemed myself by doing better than expected on the Environmental Science exam. The multiple choice was almost entirely fact-recall, with remarkably little analysis. Although there were some facts with which I was unfamiliar, I was very confident on about 60% of the questions, somewhat confident on about 32% of the questions, and I skipped 8 questions. Making a number of statistical assumptions, it would be reasonable to suppose that I could easily pull off getting around 70 (raw score) on the multiple choice. Aside from a the first question, which dealt with an area in which I'm not too familiar, I obliterated the free-response with ease. This puts me on track for a solid 4--surprising, considering that I hardly studied and that Zaraza doesn't really teach explicitly for the AP. I'm calm yet psyched for two days of double whammies in US and Comparative Government and Micro- and Macroeconomics. And so with that I depart to read about Mexican politics.

I'm feeling very shaky about comparative government. I may not even take the exam. Learning an entire course in about 48 hours is unreasonable, in my opinion.

I'm halfway through a practice examination right now. I've used about 15 minutes, answered 30 questions and only missed one. Somehow I think that my practice exams are way easier than the real thing. Regardless, as things stand now, I'm set to crash and burn on the free-response. That section actually requires you to know something.

But 30 minutes is fine.

So, what's your prediction on your Comp Gov. score?
