<p>for all those taking AP Comp Gov:</p>
<p>Has anyone gotten hold of a released exam? Anyone have any tips or insights they'd like to share with the group? I'm taking the exam monday and trying to get into hardcore study mode.</p>
<p>I self-studied last year. The Ethel Wood book is supposedly wonderful. I didn't have time to read much of it, but the little bit I read helped a lot.</p>
<p>I have the '99 MC, but not on my computer...& no scanner. Hmm.</p>
<p>I just watch the news</p>
<p>I'm about 5 pages from finishing Ethel Woods' book. Tomorrow and Sunday I'll be taking the sample exams in the back. I'm pretty confident about a 5.</p>
<p>bump 10 char</p>
<p>I've just read lots of different books about each countries political history so I can take the test self studying. This weekend, I'm just reviewing all of the important definitions for the test.</p>
<p>Important question: When answering the Free Response questions, is it ok to give simple 2-3 sentence definitions/examples? Because the Ethel Woods' book doesn't mention how to format essays etc.</p>
<p>Anyone know what the curve is like?</p>
<p>Usually a 55/60 on the MC test will still get you a 5.</p>
<p>The lowest possible for a 5 on the Gov test will
probably be at 45ish, as in 2002 that was the curve
cutoff for the test (that was a HEINOUS year).</p>
<p>mid-high 30s if you want to pass.</p>
<p>You're talking about the US Gov test. The Comparative one has 45 MC questions.</p>
<p>Does anyone have a copy of the audit? I have the US gov audit and the english lit audit and will trade for compgov</p>

<p>No, it has 55 cquestions that you have to do in 45 minutes.</p>
<p>Yeah, you're right. I got the two mixed up. </p>
<p>Either way, does anyone know the curve?</p>

<p>bump I need this answered!</p>
<p>yes. just thoroughly answer the question. even if you do add a little extra or an example since they won't mark off points for that. i wouldn't answer it in 2 sentence though. i think a more complete answer is maybe 3-5? depending on the question. </p>
<p>but yeah, it's not an essay. just a short paragraph response.</p>
<p>Ok thanks man =D</p>
