***Official AP U.S. Government and Politics Thread 2014-2015***

I’m sure that was the right answer. A lot of questions had very obvious answers.

was that FDR quote showing his violation and disregard about separation of powers or limited government

I’m confident it was separation of powers because he was taking about how his powrrs are or should be superior to congress.

also what were the answers about the question about fiscal policy and the president’s power in the 20th century for mpc, idk why I am so nervous about these questions since I thought the test was easy lmao

cool thanks

There a google doc for this exam?

MODERATOR’S NOTE:

If there is, it’s not allowed to be posted here, nor are posts asking for it to be PM’d.

what do bureaucracies do, do they just perform the everyday activities of government, also for the fiscal policy question, I said that they evaluate fiscal policy to see what they can do in the future economically, was that correct

@colonial7 I said both of those

awesome thanks

Any advice to someone taking this next year? Pretty sure I bombed the APUSH test, so I want to get a 4 on this.

Anybody have any idea how many points each FRQ was worth??

Score distributions are out!

From Trevor Packer’s Twitter:
2015 AP US Government & Politics scores: 5: 9.8%; 4: 13.6%; 3: 24.7%; 2: 25%; 1: 26.9%

“Much lower performance on the free-response than the multiple-choice keeps the AP US Govt scores primarily in the 1-3 range. 3 students worldwide, out of ~280,000, earned all 120/120 points possible on this year’s AP US Government exam. AP US Govt students scored well on all multiple-choice topics, particularly questions about citizen beliefs and behavior. Students tended to struggle with Q2 (fed/state govts) and Q4 (14th Amendment) on this year’s AP US Govt exam. To gauge how you did (or would do!) on AP US Govt, look at Q1 (presidential power); Q1 is a good predictor for how a student did overall.”

Got a 5

Kind of worrying, not really. I don’t think I did great on question one, I know I didn’t get how civil service employees affected the presidents policy making power, and I don’t remember if I got the part on divided government. Q2 was a piece of cake though, and four wasn’t too bad, the only thing I missed on that one was part a and a portion of part e.

Really, really hoping I got a five. Doesn’t matter though, I’m absolutely positive I didn’t get lower than a 3 and that’s all I need. AP Calc on the other hand… Fingers crossed.

Dang it, I didn’t get the bonus point for my haiku :frowning:

Got a 5. :slight_smile:

Also got a 5. Crash Course worked wonders.

Got that 5! Physics, however… Lol
