AP Comparative Government Study Thread 2011

<p>MC wasn’t terrible, easier than I thought it was going to be. The FRQ, however, were brutal.</p>

<p>I wonder if internationals and US people had the same questions…</p>

<p>I agree that they were much harder than I expected though…</p>

<p>Yeah, I thought the Multiple Choice was the most challenging one, but I believe I did quite well. FRQ’s, I awnsered them all fully, last minute studying had me got all the things covered :)</p>

<p>i found around 30 of the mc to be really easy, definitely harder than the practice exam posted here.</p>

<p>The MC was easy compared to the practice test in my opinion. Two questions on the short response kind of stumped me, but then I just dug deep in my mind and pulled it out. At the minimum a 4, but I’m feeling confident of a 5. Let’s wait till mid-July … I’ll forget about it by then. AP English Language tomorrow …</p>

<p>If you generally do well on multiple choice, and awnsered all the frq’s, you should be all good right? fairly sure I knew 80% of frqs.</p>

<p>lol I have AP Lang tommorrow too. Are you doing anything to study? I agree with everyone MC was cake but FRQ were tough. Self- studying and last minute cramming wasn’t so bad afterall :P</p>

<p>I sort of think the other way around, although not to either extreme. I thought that the MC was slightly harder than expected and the FRQs were slightly easier than expected. There were probably about ten or so on the MCs I didn’t have much of a sure answer on, but I have a good political sense, so hopefully I got some of those. In terms of the FRQs, the parliamentary, president comparison was a piece of cake, but the Nigeria question seemed to be the hardest to me. The Russia/Mexico comparison for the last question was also pretty easy. Overall, we’ll see what happens. Unless I screwed up my bubble sheet, I know I didn’t get below a three, but let’s hope I got at least a four. Worst case scenario, I can just have my school take it off the transcript as an Independent Study and not send the scores.</p>

<p>Sorry for posting that link a little late, I found it last night and studied it this morning…Test wasn’t bad.</p>

<p>No one in my class studied so we all think we got the general questions on the MC but not the ones about the specific governments of the countries we covered.</p>

<p>I thought the FRQs were incredibly easy. I only really had trouble with the second to last question and the very last part of the very last question (I had absolutely no idea what they meant so I just threw in a couple general terms XD). At least half the people in my class ran out of things to say with thirty minutes left to go. I just added little extra tidbits and outside information to my answers to eat up the time. </p>

<p>Plus, my teacher had emailed us all the ridiculous stuff that’s going on between Khamenei and Ahmadinejad so I threw that into one of the questions. And Putin. Always Putin. XD</p>

<p>^^^^
I’d edit that. lol.</p>

<p>But I kind of regret not adding a bit MORE the information that I knew already, I guess I was kind of scared, don’t know why xD I might get a 5, definetely a 4.</p>

<p>BTW’S.</p>

<p>If I thought the multiple choice was pretty easy, I think the most I got wrong was 10, and I answered all my questions and I knew what they were talking about. How likely is it that I’ll get a 5?</p>

<p>I wish I could type essays up, my thoughts are so much collected than :(</p>

<p>Some of the MC were crazy, like the one about some minority Nigerian tribe. How were we supposed to know that? I just used logic to guess that one.</p>

<p>The Nigeria FRQ was kinda hard too.</p>

<p>Comp Gov has a generous curve, or so I thought last year. I didn’t write anything useful for one of the FRQs and got a 5.</p>
