*|*OFFICIAL*|* 2013 AP Government and Politics Thread

<p>Guys for some last minute review check out [url=&lt;a href=“http://www.ustream.tv/channel/cram-for-the-exam]here[/url”&gt;http://www.ustream.tv/channel/cram-for-the-exam]here[/url</a>]
It’s pretty helpful</p>

<p>@jchen97- There is usually an FRQ on interest groups and checks and balances. Examples help but not having one will not necessarily hurt you.</p>

<p>How are the frqs converted to the other 60 points of the test? Like is it sum of pts/ total pts like say 20/30 *60 or is each question say 4/5 *15?</p>

<p>Average PTs show a 4. Tired of prep and queasy in a sort of good way</p>

<p>Thanks for the practice exams. GOOD LUCK!!</p>

<p>Awesome practice test index!</p>

<p>Any FRQ guesses? Of course there will be a checks and balances question and a linkage institution question (I feel like it might be media). They haven’t asked a Constitution question in a long time.</p>

<p>I suspect a bill of rights question.</p>

<p>I suspect a checks and balances question. :slight_smile: as is every year.</p>

<p>Any last minute tips? Especially for the FRQs?</p>

<p>College board is getting tricky this year. As I notice with AP chemistry and AP Lang I’m not sure what to expect</p>

<p>Note: the PR tests are harder than average. I usually make mid-solid 5’s and I made two high 4’s on those tests. Eep.</p>

<p>Good luck everyone hopefully the frqs aren’t too hard</p>

<p>Or too easy. I prefer a challenge.</p>

<p>Well i thought that went well.</p>

<p>The FRQs were too easy…besides bureaucratic discretion I knew all of it</p>

<p>The multiple choice questions were often recycled, an easy 4 or 5.</p>

<p>The MC were a bit harder than what I took. </p>

<p>FRQ #1 and 4 were “huh?” moments… I don’t think anyone at my school knew how to answer all of question 4 and the last two parts of question 1… o.o</p>

<p>Political polarization was interesting and challenging, I guessed for that. The las question was long as hell but definitely doable.</p>

<p>I thought the frq was tougher than the mc but I wrote a lot so hopefully that helps</p>

<p>Are you guys talking about US Government or Comparative Government?</p>

<p>FRQ was easy peasy except for last bit of 4.</p>

<p>MCQ wasnt that hard. Expecting a 4/5</p>

<p>Thankfully about a third of test takers slept thorugh test and another third didnt even try the FRQs</p>
