***Official AP US Government & Politics 13-14 Thread***

<p>must be a typo… dont fret on 1 question</p>

<p>Is soft money banned by the bipartisan campaign reform?? </p>

<p>^Mccain-Feingold Act.</p>

<p>so are barron’s tests good or bad? also is appass accurate?</p>

<p>McCain feingold act and bipartisan campaign reform are the same thing. They attempted to limit soft money but were overruled because donating money in campaigns is a form of free speech or expression.</p>

<p>I had the exact same question today.</p>

<p>I’m just reading crash course… Not too worried for this exam.
After Calc I just stopped caring about my other exam (engl,stats,phys b)</p>

<p>@DaneBrick I found that I did better on the official AP exams (1999, 2008) than on the Barron’s exams. I think Barron’s is really much harder.</p>

<p>Do you guys also agree that the older exams are a little more difficult compared to the newer ones like 2008? </p>

<p>@6alibah‌ that might have been due to the fact that some of the questions on the 1992 one were asking about stuff during that time. idk </p>

<p>I’m trying to finish crash course before I go to bed.</p>

<p>Feeling very confident for the multiple choice. Kinda worried about FRQ, but I’ve done everything I can do. Yay for sleep.</p>

<p>Same, they’re so unpredictable </p>

<p>I’m done for the night. Good luck homies.</p>

<p>Ehh still going. Can someone explain single-member district to me?</p>

<p>GRRRR I got like -15 on the 1999 test and -11 on the 2008 test. I feel like I’m borderline 4/5 all depending on the FRQ’s. -sobsob-</p>

<p>@BarryYung42 It’s pretty much that only one representative can occupy a single position for each position that is available.</p>

<p>I just took the international version USGP!
Yeh! 2 out of 3 AP’s done!!
I think the MCQ was average to little bit difficult and FRQ was average.
(I used to get about ±10 questions wrong in the MCQ, just in case)</p>

<p>Oh, does anybody know about form O?
I heard that if we get a form O, the % between 4 and 5 changes,
(like what happened to last year AP Bio…)
AND we got a form O for this exam.</p>

<p>@Onsemiru I think that was only because of the curriculum change and Collegeboard’s loopy plans for changing the curve last year.</p>

<p>What did everyone average on the 2008 practice? I got -6 on MC just now which confused me because i did horrendous on REAs exam </p>

<p>@capitalamerica Did the collegeboard change (or attempt to change) the curriculum recently?
I never heard about it…
In fact, the questions were similar from the released exam. I didn’t find any big differences.</p>
