<p>Does anyone know where I can find real multiple choice questions from a previous AP exam?</p>
<p>what do you guys think we'll have to know about the bureaucracy</p>
<p>I think there's a possibility one of the essays will be on the bureaucracy, as there hasn't been one in a while. Probably should know about congressional and presidential oversight of it, as well as its role in the creation of public policy.</p>
<p>cabinets, regulatory agencies, government corporations, independent agencies -- obvious stuff about this</p>
<p>stuff about iron triangles</p>
<p>and about the pendelton act/hatch act</p>
<p>how about on public policy? I was gone (AP testing) while my teacher covered this. It seems to simple.. but there is quite a bit of detail.</p>
<p>cabinets, regulatory agencies, government corporations, independent agencies
can someone explain the relationships between them? I know what they are...but can you elaborate on how the cabinets are more distant from the president cuz they perceive themselves as being heads of their departments rather than subordinates of the president.....and like the IRA stuff...FDA and FCC and stuff like that.....they have quasi-legislative and quasi-judicial roles right.....? where do their heads come from? how are those fired? etc...etc...
i dont know what gov't corporations are...</p>
<p>I've never been so unprepared in my life for a test....I took this (along with AP Comparative as a double class) and we actually never went over the comparative at all!!!!! I don't know anything specific about the U.S either, so basically I'm screwed; hopefully AP US will help me a little for the U.S. part.</p>
<p>All we did in this class was study for other AP's....At least I feel really confident on my Psychology and Language scores.........</p>
<p>the most important thing to remember about the bureacracy is the iron triangle and the issue networks</p>
<p>i know the iron triangle, what are issue networks?</p>
<p>I think even just me studying the definitions in the PR book helped out a ton. It included the political terms, along with amendments, and court cases.</p>
<p>issue networks are amalgamations of issue networks</p>
<p>for example, janet jackson's nipple "crisis" resulted in an issue network being formed consisting of many social conservative groups over this particular issue</p>
<p>maybe knowing a little bit of the weberian, acquisitive, and monopolistic models will help?</p>
<p>"weberian, acquisitive, and monopolistic models will help?"</p>
<p>I havent ever seen those terms before in pr, barrons, or in my class</p>
<p>or maybe I have seen them but in passing</p>
<p>it shouldnt be anything worrying about</p>
<p>Could any of you <em>please</em> list some interest groups and what they represent?</p>
<p>We did this in class.. but I've forgotten.
For example --
AFL-CIO (workers union?)
Sierra Club?
etc.. I hardly remember these.</p>
<p>National Organization for Women
National Rifle Association
American Civil Liberties Union
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals
National Assocation for the Advancement of Colored People
League of Women Voters
American Medical Association
Health Insurance Assocation of America
American Association of Retired Persons</p>
<p>to name a few...</p>
<p>Should I study the court cases and amendments a great deal?</p>
<p>I'm only reviewing the major ones. Unless some case pertains to an FR, I don't know how many points they're worth. Maybe there will be an MC listing cases for the five choices.</p>
<p>"Article II -- ability to take over as President during times of impeachment, incapacitation, or death."</p>
<p>um no, that was the 25th amendment that outlined the vp as next in line after pres....article 2 just talked about impeaching a vp</p>
<p>just took a practice REA test. got 70%. :- / . regardless of how well I know or don't know a subject, I usually gravitae toward the 70's range.</p>
<p>explain the iron triangle please</p>
