<p>sorry for double post, but how do you take that practice test that someone posted on the previous page? i clicked the link scrolled all the way, downloaded it, then 3 address bars came up and tried to copy and paste each one (separately) into the website address box, but it never showed up. please help!</p>
<p>for me, I clicked it and it just opened up.</p>
<p>Motion12345, this seems too good to be true- are the tests at the end of the link you gave legit ones? There are three right there!</p>
<p>Yeah, those three are legit. Thanks for posting the list scrivener and xxrunningonempty!</p>
<p>What are the levels of the judiciary, and what cases can the Supreme Court hear?</p>
<p>Quick question (for anyone who is using the textbook Government in America: People, Politics, and Policy OR if you know just in general):</p>
<p>Do we need to know the sections on policymaking for the test? The ones that go in depth about national security policy, environmental, health, etc.?</p>
<p>I kinda skipped over those…but I’m worried they might throw a FRQ on it.</p>
<p>We use that book, and my teacher told me to know monetary/fiscal policy pretty well. She said they do an FRQ on it about every other year, and there was none on it last year.</p>
<p>Does anyone have the actual collegeboard scoring conversion? I’ve found plenty of conflicting review book tables, but I’m interested in the sheet found in the back of released ap exam books that shows the actual raw score-to-scaled score conversion that was used for a particular administration.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>For the 2009 AP Exam, my teacher said we calculate it as follows:</p>
<p>Raw Score of MC
Score of FRQ1 x 2.5 (6 points total)
Score of FRQ2 x 2.5 (7 points total)
Score of FRQ3 x 2.14 (6 points total)
- Score of FRQ4 x 2.5 (6 points total)</p>
<hr>
<p>Raw Score</p>
<p>If 95+ = 5
80-94 = 4
61-79 = 3</p>
<p>^^ UGH, based on those calculations, I’m probably gonna get a four… I’m ok with that, but a five would be nice. I’m kinda still struggling with the MC. I’ve taken the 2002, 1999, 1989, and the 1994 AP tests. Are there any more out there? I would like to have some more practice.</p>
<p>

<p>College Board did release the 2009 US Gov Exam.</p>
<p>You have to buy it, no? I’ll look though. Thanks!</p>
<p>Wow…a 79% for a 5? That’s pretty darn harsh considering how lenient the curve is for other exams. I can do a 50%, though, which is all I need for credit :P.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Lol…It definitely is a harsh curve, but that’s because the exam itself is relatively easier compared to the other ones.</p>
<p>Is it easier? :/</p>
<p>is it a good idea to memorize the amendments?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Based on the released tests, it doesn’t seen like they require specific knowledge of all 27 Amendments.</p>
<p>With that said, I definitely seen a lot of questions about the 10th and 14th Amendment (especially the dealing with the equal protection clause and due process of law). Also, a few questions here and there dealing with some of the first 10 Amendments of the Bill of Rights.</p>
<p>Aside from that, you’ll be better off investing your time elsewhere.</p>
<p>So you basically have to get half of the raw score points possible to secure a 3? This AP exam will be no problem for me since I only need a 3.</p>
<p>Can someome describe campaign financing in detail, pacs, interest groups…</p>
<p>My only problem is The Bureaucracy. I get most of it…just all the appointing and loyalty to the president is very vague. 24 questions from 2009 came from judiciary, presidency, congress, and bureacracy combined. So I’m focusing on those units. Oh and federalism and all the different types (including grants/mandates)</p>
<p>Approximately how long does a good essay need to be? And are there practice questions and essays of past students out therE? Thanks!</p>
