<p>so i will only have 3 days to cram for this.</p>
<p>any recommendations?</p>
<p>same here, lol.</p>
<p>please god, any help will be nice.</p>
<p>AP Power Pack. They have an "emergency" envelope with a short study option. </p>
<p>Really cool.</p>
<p>Read princeton review summary, it eliminates much of the unnecessary history or take barron's practice tests.</p>
<p>I took this class last semester and everything left my mind already lol. :(</p>
<p>Same here... I'm not gonna bother studying (grr...gotta cram for other tests).</p>
<p>We took 2 or 3 old AP tests in class, and they were all quite easy.</p>
<p>I say briefly cover the branches, constitution, bureaucracy, and supreme court cases, and you'll do well.</p>
<p>Just go through all the articles. </p>
<p>I took gov. last semester, and went to a 2 hour review session today, and will tomorrow, and all he's going through is the articles. There will be another one on friday that just goes over all that extra stuff.</p>
<p>does anyone have the PR guide online?</p>
<p>it'd be helpful</p>
<p>I plan to study the glossary of Barron's; it's actually helpful</p>
<p>Is 47.5/60 (this is after the 1/4 deductions) good for the MC portion if I'm aiming for a 5 and my essays are so-so?</p>
<p>Dedicate 3 to 5 hours as AP US Gov. hours. Study in a quiet room with no distractions with a review book and highlighter. Take breaks as necessary, but keep them quick. You should go through a lot of material by the time it's over. Do it again the next day; you might have less to cover this time. On the third day, go back to the very beginning of your review book and read all of the things you highlighted. Hope this helps b/c it's what I'm doing. lol</p>
<p>Lol....YEA there are others in the same boat as me! I took AP U.S. government last semester and basically the only things I know is the stuff I learned from U.S. History last year. I am going to cram big time on Saturday and Sunday....O God please let me get that 5.</p>
<p>hm, yeah i haven't started studying either but i plan on reading the Princeton Review on Saturday and taking the 1999 AP Gov test on sunday. hopefully that will be enough.</p>
<p>^I took the 1999 AP Govt exam and got about a 3....so disappointed.</p>
<p>Anyway, my plan of attack is to read all of princeton review twice and read about the institutions of government in my textbook.</p>
<p>I'm not a MC powerhouse, so that's what I'm most worried about. Thank god for the free response section.</p>
<p>hey everyone.. if you want to discuss this stressing/dreadful ap exam (us government), IM me at on at SiphenViper.. we can bash it for how it ruins our lives -_-.. and discuss strategy at the same time.. :P</p>
<p>my teacher got pregnant so she left like 1 month before the ap exam, so we have a sub. he is good, and we did well on our recent tests (this monday) but we havent even gone over the format of the ap exam. We will do it tomorrow.. and the exam is on monday!!!!! I guess I should just shut myself up in my room and screw the rest of my aps and just study for gov. God is definately not on my side, cuz because of my lovely friends at the calc study session, I am now sick! Sick on the stupid weekend. any suggestions on how to study and not kill myself?</p>
<p>lol, it sucks for those of us who had it last semester :(</p>
<p>YES HAHAHA. I thought I was alone!</p>
<p>I looked at my AP schedule today and I was like oh crap...first AP exam on Monday morning?!?! </p>
<p>I'm just going through PR (I had a Government course, because our school doesn't offer AP Gov).</p>
<p>Does anyone have helpful online sites or glossaries?</p>
