<p>Get ready. May 9. </p>

<p>I'm studying with the PR book and taking practice tests from sparknotes.</p>

<p>Hows everyone else doing?</p>

2

<p>Studying with PR and taking practice tests in class on and off and focusing on FR questions because I can get around 51-52 right on MC.</p>

3

<p>Barron's Book. and my teacher had everyone in the class outline a different chapter of our book so i have a review packet too.... </p>

<p>hopefully its enough.</p>

4

<p>anyone with comp gov materials/notes willing to share? I'm kind of on my own with my self-studying and I dont know if i can pass or not.</p>

5

<p>yo bro, I am also self studying AP Comp Gov. I am only studying Ethel Wood's book. If you read that, you'll most likely pass.</p>

<p>My advice is you should know Iran VERY well. I am 100% confident that Iran will show up on the Free Response section.</p>

6

<p>Im studying PR. Are the practice MC actually similar? Anyway how are you people preparing for the FR section cause I;m scared the most about that</p>

7

<p>Read Cliffs and you'll do fine on the FR, IMO.</p>

8

<p>Im not going to buy another review book at this point</p>

<p>Discuss the arguments for and against the Supreme Court's broad policy-making authority. Is this what the Founders intended?</p>

<p>Can anyone help me with how they would start answering this? Im really unsure on what points to bring up</p>

<p>Supreme Court's broad policy-making?...It doesn't make policies? </p>
