<p>How did you answer the free response questions? The Princeton Review told me to organize a nice essay while my teacher (online teacher) told me to make bulleted list since they save time. Which way looks better to the reader.</p>

<p>Thanks for the Help</p>

<p>Do not write an essay. My AP Gov has been teaching us to write the answers in a 1a., b, i., ii., c, etc format. So not a bulleted list, but a list with complete sentences.</p>

<p>As long as you answer the problem you will be fine. There is absolutely NO need to write an essay lol. It asks a series of questions. Do you think they really expect you to formulate an essay just to answer these questions? nope</p>

<p>Just write sentences and paragraphs. For instance, if the question is (I just made it up, so don’t really try to answer it):

  1. Political socialization is an integral part of democracy
    a. Define political socialization
    b. Give an example of political socialization
    c. How has the development of political parties been impacted by political socialization?</p>

<p>Then I would answer
a. <give definition=“” in=“” a=“” sentence=“”>
b. <give example=“” in=“” a=“” sentence=“”>
c. <explain in=“” a=“” paragraph=“”></explain></give></give></p>

<p>Then I’m done, really there’s no need to write an essay.</p>
