Calling all AP Govt. students and self-studiers

Test Preparation AP History & Social Sciences
1

I’m looking for people on CC that plan on taking the AP Govt. exam. I know you’re out there.</p>

2

<p>Just read Crash Course. Guaranteed 5. Work through some old FRQ if you’d like to</p>

3

<p>Hmm what’s crash course?</p>

<p>I’m going to self study! I have Crash Course, an actual textbook, 5 Steps to a 5, and Petersons.</p>

5

<p>Still don’t understand what crash course is…</p>

6

<p>It’s a book. It has everythibg needed to get 50+ MC correct. It works for FRQ too but I’d reccomend working through old ones to be better prepared</p>

7

<p>Hi, I self-studied for the exam last year and got a 5. Feel free to ask me anything!</p>

8

<p>What was the test like?</p>

<p>It’s not too bad. I took it last year (2012) and got a 5. I didn’t self study though.</p>

10

<p>I thought the test was ok. The essays were easier than I thought they would be.</p>

11

<p>I have a very weak teacher last trimester. Either she was weak or I knew most of the stuffs in class.</p>

<p>AP US Gov, self study here… I honestly haven’t done much at all and probably won’t until after January SAT’s… </p>

<p>I am taking an honors politics course at school and a 5 steps to 5 book. what are the other best prep books?</p>

13

<p>I’m planning on self-studying US Gov. & Politics this year since my class doesn’t offer any AP classes. Which books should I use to get a 5? Any advice?</p>

14

<p>I’m taking the legit class. Worthless teacher(but halarious). Pretty much guaranteed for a 5 politics is my life.</p>

15

<p>I’m planning on self studying and also using that crash course as well. The AP Gov class I took at my high school didn’t help at all. We did nothing in that class (I’m not exaggerating). We literally did nothing in that classroom for the whole year. We just watch CNN student news then talked to our friends. And we had a homework assignment once every two-three weeks.</p>

16

<p>Lol it seem AP government is a useless class.</p>

17

<p>Bump. Figure since AP are near what’s everyone is planning to do?</p>

18

<p>I always seem to do terribly on Ap Gov’t FRQs. What’s the secret to those?</p>

19

<p>The free response question? Are they in the back of the white book?</p>

<p>I am Self studying/Taking a Class (Homschooled not really AP approved but doing the curriculum)
I am finishing up Wilson’s Book on Chapter 19/22.
Also, I am using 5 steps to a 5 and REA Crash Course.
Crash Course is like a massive cheat sheat while 5 Steps has great Practice tests. </p>

<p>@delete:
FRQs are trickey to me. I never know how to answer it correctly. Will be studying those in depth later in April</p>
