<p>does size work?</p>
<p>also…i know we are not supposed to discuss mc…but how come i remember last year on cc…there were direct questions about the tests??..</p>
<p>I used committees and how since only a small portion of members go into these committees they can influence legislation because of their specialization. I dunno if they will accept that. meh</p>
<p>Dammit, I should have used Rules Committee. haha</p>
<p>I don’t remember direct questions. I think it should be treated the same way the SAT is.</p>
<p>Well we’re not specifically referencing a question on the test. We’re just asking broad, general questions haha. </p>
<p>If I said, “whats a writ of certiorari?” then I’m not exactly discussing the test am I? haha</p>
<p>yeah…i don’t think they will accept my second answer either…it was kinda…lame…oh well…</p>
<p>"…Of the approximately five thousand cases a year for which review by the Supreme Court is sought, fewer than 5 percent are granted cert. If a case is denied cert, the decision below stands, and with a few exceptions, there are no further avenues of review. "</p>
<p>Yes! I guessed right bahaha</p>
<p>OMG!! yay!! i did that too…i was 90 percent sure it was right.but i’m glad to know…</p>
<p>I think the multiple choice was really easy compared to some of the old tests I took. I was unsure of like 4 of them. I hope the curve isn’t 56-57 for a 5 because that’s really harsh and I want it to be easier to get a 5. </p>
<p>I think I did pretty well on the FR. I don’t really care that we can’t discuss them now.
The one about linkage institutions. I went through all the main ones and couldn’t think of two examples so I chose PACs which was pretty stupid. I still contend that a PAC can link people to the government…it’s just more specific than an interest group.
But anyway, that would be the only area I think I would lose points on. </p>
<p>I was really nervous going in because with both practice tests I took I missed like 6 and would be right on the boundary between 4 and 5.</p>
<p>For one of the FRQs I said lifelong terms for Supreme Court Justices, so the majority party couldn’t impeach them all/vote in all new ones from their party. Think I will get credit?</p>
<p>for linkage, what did they mean…b/c i think i might hav really messed up on it…:(</p>
<p>I skipped the “writs of certiori” lol.
Good thing I did because I would’ve guessed wrong. xD</p>
<p>for linkage, i’m guessing house of rep is wrong…?? :(</p>
<p>Hey guys, I’m just saying this because I care. But there was a guy last year who talked about the AP test, and a guy from the Collegeboard found him through google search, and they had to cancel his score and ban him from taking any more AP tests. Just a word of caution…</p>
<p>For linkage I also used PAC’s. I’m pretty sure that’s correct because it basically links people to the government, so it really can’t be wrong.</p>
<p>@aupamplemousse</p>
<p>Supreme court justices have to do with the judiciary and since it was asking about the Senate & House I don’t think you’ll get credit.</p>
<p>Edit: On second thought, you might get credit if you related it to the senate somehow.</p>
<p>I can’t talk about the specific question but in class we learned that the media was the largest linkage institution.</p>
<p>does the house of rep count as a linkage to gov’t and and public…i know it’s stretching it a bit…/</p>
<p>The house of representatives IS apart of the government, so I don’t think that it would count as a linkage institution. Sorry :(</p>
<p>I don’t think so anamai. :(</p>
<p>Just googled it and even though yahoo answers isn’t exactly the best source, it sounds right to me lol:</p>
