<p>bummmmmmppppppp</p>
<p>alright guys! its friday, in hk atleast,
so does that mean we can discuss the FRQ's?!?!</p>
<p>The MCQ were easy. Enough said lolz</p>
<p>FRQ, definitions were easy! haha actually, right before the test, like 4 people in my class just HAPPENED to ask me the defintion for the first one, and i pretty much told the whole class, cause they didnt know what it was!!
then when everyoen opened the test, they all just laughed :D </p>
<p>but yeah, the defintions and exampes were easy</p>
<p>I messed up on number 7. How did you guys answer it?!?!</p>
<p>What is transparency? That's like the only part of the entire test I didn't do. I answered all the MC and all other parts of the FRQ.</p>
<p>Does someone have a link to the FRQ's like the Stats people?</p>
<p>AP:</a> Free-Response Questions</p>
<p>Go under comparative government, and you should find the 2008 frq there</p>
<p>what did you say for number 7? and does anyone know when they will post the answers?</p>
<p>Ok, so 7 was pretty much the only one that really tripped me up. I knew one thing each for a) and b) so kind of made up the second point, but i thought c) was manageable. Here's what I said for 7:</p>
<p>a) 1. implementation of a criminal and civil code to increase uniformity of legal system</p>
<ol>
<li>i didn't know so made this up: increased independence of judicial branch. Looking it up afterward, I don't think that will slide. One thing that I read is that they're heavily increasing the amount of lawyers, which I think would count as a reform to the legal system since it's not specifically the judicial branch.</li>
</ol>
<p>b) 1. attract more foreign investors b/c they'll have more faith in the Chinese gov't if the judicial branch can uphold business contracts, etc. I remember reading something along these lines...</p>
<ol>
<li> kind of made up on the spot: increased pressure from other states and human right's organizations since stepping in the spotlight, so a major step toward providing civil liberties is having a competent judicial system. It's all I could come up with.</li>
</ol>
<p>c) 1. Still super super high conviction rate, showing its used as an enforcer rather than an interpreter and intermediary between citizens and gov't</p>
<ol>
<li>still no judicial review... yeah...</li>
</ol>
<p>I thought the rest of the FR was pretty easy, but if anyone has different responses to 7 a lot of us would like to hear them...</p>
<p>^ Direct link to FRQ's.</p>
<p>I don't really remember what I did for 7.</p>
<p>Ew. Overall, I thought it was easier than expected.</p>
<p>So, can we talk about MC questions, or no? Just FRQs?</p>
<p>can NEVER talk about MCQ
but we can discuss FRQ's :D</p>
<p>There are many, many kids who have not yet taken this test. Are you giving them answers to the questions they will be asked?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Could someone summarize what they put for question 6?:</p>
<ol>
<li>States vary in terms of their party systems and electoral systems.
(a) Identify and explain the type of electoral system that tends to create a multiparty system.
(b) Identify and explain the type of electoral system that tends to create a two-party system.
(c) Describe one reason that a one-party system might emerge.
(d) Explain one advantage each of multiparty, two-party and one-party systems in a multiethnic society.</li>
</ol>
<p>Also, I believe that we are allowed to discuss the FRQs 48 hours after the exam.</p>
<p>That's what I didn't know - the kids who take the test late all take it on the same day, and they all have a different test than the one you took?</p>
<p>im pretty sure they get a different test from the one we took
(well difference FRQ, not sure about the MCQ)</p>
