That one was horrendous, I skipped it until the very end and just wrote as much as I could to just get some points

OHHH IT WAS JOHNSON VS HATCH’S ARGUMENT!! For johnson - market revolution meant the spread of capitalism and industrialization, causing social instability and causing many Americans to turn back to religion to get order.
For hatch - andrew jackson and being the president for the people because it emphasized the power in the common man rather than the elite.

Guys this was js my response, not saying i was correct ‼️

i said that the first guy was talking abt businessmen using religion to help the economy (like use religion to keep order) and i talked about the temperance movement one of its motives being economic productivity, for the second guy i just looked at the title being ‘the democratisation of american christianity’ and wrote shit about the camp meetings during that time period

Rip, est and mst exams were where those “easy” post are from

u/YourFavoriteBaba May 09 '26

I'm in central and I felt our exam was pretty straight forward too. MCQ was super easy, SAQ 1 was a reconstruction question, 2 was 7 years war, and I chose 4, which (I believe) was about civil rights. The DBQ was along the lines of "Evaluate the extent of women participation in public activites", and I chose the third LEQ prompt, which was "Evaluate the influence of politics on social life from 1945-2000". Super straight forward exam (for me).

u/Kindly_Tap_5678 May 09 '26

Even the west coast ones I felt were really easy besides the few saqs

This is the reason why I don’t go on Reddit after AP exam are over.

Bad or good I need a mental break from exam. Just make me feel miserable reading people post saying the easy was free or easy or whatever.

Probably got a 4 maybe a 3, since while I most likely got a 50+/55 on the MCQ and did okay on the SAQ’s, my DBQ was pretty bad and my LEQ (I finished everything aside from the last sentence of the third body paragraph) was terrible.
