How hard (or easy) is the AP US Gov't Exam?

<p>this question is directed to people who have previously taken the exam. Also, are there any topics that always show up on the exam (such as Equilibrium on the Chemistry Exam).</p>

<p>thank you.</p>

<p>pretty dam easy</p>

<p>thanks for posting this. =] I really hope it's easy... I've heard the curve is killer and that a small percentage get 5s. Though, in respect to senioritis, it's understandable.</p>

<p>My teacher went to an ap seminar and said selective incorporation is ALWAYS big, so know cases associated with, dates, ect.</p>

<p>Can't wait to take the exam in 2 weeks >_></p>

<p>The essays are straightforward and the MC doesn't look too bad. You could probably go through PR in two days and then just practice on former essays or whatever. </p>

<p>Selective incorporation is big, but also watch out for Gore V. Bush this year.</p>

<p>hmmm...selective incorporation...good to know.</p>

<p>ap gov has a low percentage of 5 because of the fact it's kinda easy. Which is why the 5 "cut-off" is at 75% rather than other AP's that are around ~70%. Some (like physics and stats and etc etc) are <70% !!! And it's not like AP US or Euro where it's completely all knowledge base...you can think about how the branches checks each other and how some government systems work (how to get on a ballot, how to take a case to the supreme court...you know what i mean???) to help you on MC's that don't automatically "click" right away".</p>

<p>on the essays...the difference between a four and a five is stating, if it applies, how (such and such) is a check on (such and such) branch.</p>

<p>bump........</p>

<p>The supreme court cases, the checks and balances, and the issues surrounding the various political parties are important to study for the AP Gov exam.</p>

<p>bump................</p>

<p>does anybody know if all the Supreme Court cases in Princeton Review have to be known? It seems like there are so many.</p>
