<p>What is the difference? Is their a difference in difficulty? Could you post your scores for the exams you have taken?</p>
<p>US Gov. focuses on United States government, while Comparative focuses on select countries and compares them.</p>
<p>The person above me explained the difference well. Comparative countries include UK, Russia, China, Mexico, Nigeria, Iran and I might be missing one. The Comparative test, in my opinion, was a lot harder, however there tends to be a better curve on it to compensate.</p>
<p>@dreads - No, you didn’t miss one.</p>
<p>From the College Board site: “Six countries form the core of the AP Comparative Government and Politics course. China, Great Britain, Mexico, Nigeria, and Russia are all regularly covered in college-level introductory comparative politics courses. The inclusion of Iran adds a political system from a very important region of the world and one that is subject to distinctive political and cultural dynamics.”</p>
<p>so it’s sort of like the ‘World History- U.S History’ connection?</p>
<p>thanks for these helpful posts</p>
