1987 AP Exam


I ranked each question easy, difficult, or ridiculous based on these descriptions.
EASY: read through possible answers once and found correct one easily and without much thought
DIFFICULT: not necessarily hard, just required more thought and maybe had to read answer choices two or three times
RIDICULOUS: hard to figure out, multiple answers could be right, had to go back after thinking for awhile; read through possible answers many times

There were a few words throughout the test I recognized but couldn’t remember the meaning. These are those words and their definitions.

Pious: having or showing a dutiful spirit of reverence for God
Patriarch: male head of the family
Seditiousness: rebellion against gov’t
Folly: quality of being foolish
Avarice: greed for riches
Paradigms: patterns
Didactic: instructive



I found none of the questions “ridiculously” hard. I could answer them all without too much trouble.
