**Official AP Comparative Government 2013 Thread**

<p>I’m using the Ethel Woods book and was wondering how necessary it is to know about the EU/UN, other than just a general knowledge of what they are?</p>

<p>BUMP! This test is coming up soon! Do you guys have any tips?</p>

<p>Midway through Ethel Woods. Self Studying. Have found some study sheets online; I can post them if you guys want.</p>

<p>Please post for my son at boarding school in PA. They are doing tests in class but he really needs some help with this test. Thank you!</p>

<p>Post anything and everything haha</p>

<p>I’m taking the test on the 22nd. I actually have the class. Don’t plan to study at all because it’s generally pretty easy.</p>

<p>Self-Studying with Ethel Wood’s book, also the same day taking the American Gov exam which I took the class at school</p>

<p>I’m so nervous for Tuesday, dear lord.</p>

<p>@Michelledeg WOW that would’ve been useful in November. Thanks! I’ll see what I can get from it.</p>

<p>@Michelledeg have you seen this? <a href=“https://sites.google.com/a/ans.edu.ni/ap-comparative-government-politics/ap-exam-review-material[/url]”>https://sites.google.com/a/ans.edu.ni/ap-comparative-government-politics/ap-exam-review-material&lt;/a&gt; has country-specific MC questions as well as other materials</p>

<p>Does anyone have the answers to the MC in Ethel Woods 5th Edition published in 2011?</p>

<p>Does anyone have any idea on what the curve is like? I just got a 38/55 on a practice MC and I’m getting kind of worried ._.</p>

<p>Do you have the link to that practice MC? I can’t find any.</p>

<p>No sorry :frowning: but it was just the 2007 released exam.</p>

<p>Could you PM that to me?? I haven’t been able to find the 2007 released exam anywhere</p>

<p>Okay, as for the curve, I got this from a 2009 CC thread:</p>

<p>"Raw scores on the Comparative exam are abstract things since half the grade (60 points) is based on 55 m-c questions and the other half (60 points) is based on 3 equally-weighted FRQ sub-sections (1. the five identifications; 2. the 2 comparative questions; and 3. the conceptual analysis question).</p>

<p>In any case, the statisticians have offered this from the 2008 exam:
Scores of 72-120 (60%+) earned 5s
Scores of 57-71 (47.5%-59%) earned 4s
Scores of 43-56 (35.8%-47%) earned 3s
Scores of 26-42 earned 2s
Scores of 0-25 earned 1s"</p>

<p>Not sure how accurate that’s going to be, but I would think a 38/55 along with some solid FRQs might get you a five.</p>

<p>Hopefully, this curve stays this way.</p>

<p>Bump…</p>

<p>I mixed up normative and empirical… The solid 0 i’m getting for that question will do wonders for my score!</p>
