* OFFICIAL AP U.S. Government & Politics Exam *

<p>How ironic ES is famous for being so easy..........</p>

<p>Maybe if we look at 6.2 percent as 7000 people it's better.. 7000 is such a big number.. that's a lot of room.</p>

<p>Yeah. Thinking about court cases off the top of your head -- not the easiest thing to do. I remember one of the questions required you to reference to specific cases. That took about, 5 minutes of thinking. LOL.</p>

<p>I had NO idea about number 3, so I just rephrased the question, inhopes that it would be correct.</p>

<p>Yep.. I'm most worried about that third one. I actually thought of the cases, but I didn't explain the "process" correctly for one of them, even though the background info was correct.. sigh.</p>

<p>What does everyone think they got?</p>

<p>Im thinking I got a 4. Which will work for me.</p>

<p>So, my fellow students of politics...What institution of higher Ed will you be attending -if accepted- in the fall? And/or which are you hoping for -if not accepted yet?</p>

<p>Nyu - Stern</p>

<p>UMich - Honors College (it's free)</p>

<p>USC - Viterbi</p>

<p>Duke, most likely (unless cornell/columbia/dmth do something drastic, which they won't thankfuly lol)</p>

<p>Is there any where I can find guidelines for what sort of scores to expect</p>

<p>well, I am hoping for Stanford for next year -as a transfer. For the fall I'll attend a regional top college in the Northwest. So, in all honesty, my APs will not matter much. I just wanted to see how I would fair; especially, since I took the class at a local college as a dual enrollment student. </p>

<p>It's kind of funny, Harvard will take an AP for credit but not the college class I took. Stanford on the other hand will do the opposite, taking the class and not the AP credit -at least seriously. </p>

<p>Good luck to all of you!</p>

<p>WF</p>

<p>For question three, these best examples were Griswold v. Conn (martial privacy as inferred by Bill of Rights) and Mapp v. Ohio (warrents and search and seizure-right of defendant to privacy).</p>

<p>Or Roe v Wade...they cant mark u off, even if it is overused.</p>

<p>** Okay, I guess we're being vauge.</p>

<p>I think for "rights of ..." Miranda v. Arizona or Gideon v. Wainwright would work best.</p>

<p>im going to University of IL Urbana-Champaign</p>

<p>Johnson v. Texas was good for the "first" part.</p>

<p>I used Texas v. Des Moines for one of them</p>

<p>Tinker v. Des Moines, and uh, Miranda v. Arizona, and Katz v.. whoever.</p>

<p>when does the fr scoring guideline come out?</p>

<p>I used Miranda v Arizona because it has become institutionalized and reaffirmed by the Supreme Court this year</p>

<p>I told my ap gov teacher about the questions and she said they were questions which you could drive a truck through. The rubric for scoring these are going to be VERY VERY general. As such, they are going to have to spend more time on the grading and might not get done in time.</p>

<p>I'm a hot-headed liberal and I'm attending Duke next year</p>
