AP Comparative Government

Test Preparation
1

<p>This year I had signed up for AP Comparative Government. I'm only a junior. I took US History my sophomore year, because I was going to graduate early (i'm not anymore though). But where I live students are supposed to take US History junior year and US Government their senior year. So technically I'm still a junior and not signed up for US Govt. I know Comparative Govt. focuses on UK, France, Russia, China, and another country chosen by the teacher; will the exam though have any questions about US government? Also, is the exam hard? I know the teacher will factor in. I took AP European History last year and got a 5, so will that somewhat help with background information for comparative?</p>

<p>Sorry if I worded this weirdly and it doesn't make sense.</p>

<p>They exist. But no, you can't make up your own, as they are standardized tests.</p>

<p>OP-
I'm sure Euro will help with background info. I don't think much US government is on Comp Gov. CB says that the 5 countries concerned are the ones you mentioned and then a 5th developing nation (India, Mexico, or Nigeria). A friend of mine took the Comp Gov test and scored a 4, and she didn't study that hard. She is however, an avid newspaper and history reader. It's a semester class, and those typically are the easiest, though. I think I might IS it.</p>
