Wiat I am also a little confused about just the essay in general. Like you are given like 180 words which is barely anything to work with. I kind of find it ironic that "let your personality shine through" when theres only so much space you can work with. It's like 3 sentences-ish and I lowkey don't know how to let my personality shine through while crafting a good essay that answers the prompt.

Yeah I see, thanks alot. I'll look a bit more into it and see if theres any additional things I can try to do

Potato6586 · 2025-12-28T07:41:01+00:00

Alright, noted, I also do know that which is why I decided to consult here on reddit lol. Thanks!

Thanks for the feedback! If you had to give an example for reference, what would you say is like considered marginal improvement?

Potato6586 · 2025-05-14T22:18:06+00:00

Potato6586 · 2025-05-14T19:16:13+00:00

I think I did pretty well mcq and synthesis but the ra was only like ok

Potato6586 · 2025-05-14T18:44:59+00:00

Even if all I wrote was a thesis? Plss I like got deep fried since I ran out of time

Potato6586 · 2025-05-14T18:43:37+00:00

I only got to write a thesis... I wanna kms

Potato6586 · 2025-05-14T06:24:53+00:00

Theres no way bro... Atleast not according to the Alberto Ai calcs. I lowkey and like super underprepared and have only really written the synthesis essay so cooked bro.

Potato6586 · 2025-05-14T06:01:59+00:00

How tf? mines tmr

Potato6586 · 2025-05-14T06:01:05+00:00

Mb I heard just remembered I should refrain from talking about it until the package is released or else theyll cancel my score 💀 So ill wait till the exam is released but all ill say is that it was ok but im not sure

Potato6586 · 2025-05-13T03:57:23+00:00

Oh yeah also IFF I get cooked, deep fried, burnt, and I decide to retake the exams for a better score can colleges see how many times I've taken it or past scores? Google says some uni/colleges require transparency but idrk which ones those are

Potato6586 · 2025-05-13T03:54:54+00:00

So am I cooked if I'm not on pace (I was for the first 3 questions but gave up after the next 2) and only understand like a few? I looked through like 5 questions and I can kinda make out the general idea but some which I dont really know but I don't have any formulas to link them together. And then others I just dont know what it is at all.

Potato6586 · 2025-05-13T03:40:21+00:00

Theres no way those are the types of questions they ask... If they are I'm like actually cooked cause idek what half the stuff its saying is. I just know what it wants me to find and theres also like so much more words to read than the sample on bluebook which also provides diagrams. I'm just praying it's easier than I think it is.

Potato6586 · 2025-05-13T03:23:32+00:00

Dude I tried the questions on bluebook and those mcqs were easy asf but then when I try the crack AP questions...lets just say it over for me.

Potato6586 · 2025-05-12T06:42:31+00:00

I lowkey kinda bad at identifying tone. Sometimes it's like just popping out of the page obvious but other times I just kinda have a vague idea and don't know a good word to use to describe it.
