Is anyone here an APUSH teacher/5 on test?

I was just wondering if (read title)? The reason is to see what kind of people are giving advice. I'm currently taking APUSH, great class, much work, but the work is paying off! :P My specialty would probably be essays and weakness DBQs(because they're the most annoying thing ever >_<)

The DBQ is annoying? The DBQ is so much easier than the FREs. At least you can make a five if you do well using the documents and have the thesis. (The Five I refer to is the 0 - 9 scale on the essays not the National Exam final 0-5)

My instructor, a table leader at the APUSH essay grading sessions after the national exam said she graded an FRE where the essay was about the French and Indian war and the student wrote:

"French and Indian War? Hell I didn't even know there were Indians in France."

LOLLLL *dies laughing* I don't think I would be able to grade any more essays after that.

I got a 4 on the test. I'm terrible with DBQ's too!! I had one on my midterm last year about Jacksonian Democracy. I got a 2 and my teacher wrote "Shallow. Shows little knowledge" :p Nah, really?

Wow. That's, umm...heh...I don't have a comment for that. Atleast the kid was honest though!
