The AP US Government and Politics Thread

<p>mann…i’m sad now…oh well…gues i’ll just wait and see my score in july…</p>

<p>It’s only 2 points. Don’t worry about it. In the grand scheme of things if you did well overall you can still get a 5 easily. </p>

<p>Haha, I made sure to memorize all the amendments and basically owned that one question that I can’t discuss for 2 days.</p>

<p>i didn’t even use the specific amendment…if that’s what you`re talking about…
…but i referenced to some…i memorized them like this morning…:)</p>

<p>Good job! </p>

<p>Suffrage and 17th amendment for me. Pretty easy.</p>

<p><em>trying hard not to actually discuss questions</em></p>

<p>When people say that you have to get around 55 to get a 5, around what FRQ score is that assuming?</p>

<p>I guess my question is…is it still possible to get a 5 even if you have a lower score on MC (like 50?), but near-ace the FRQ section?</p>

<p>Yeah, if you get somewhere in the mid-30’s for MC and perfect on FR, then you can get a 5. I believe a 5 is somewhere around the 90+ range.</p>

<p>What do you guys think about interest groups being a linkage institution because they inspire or support policies… or something… :-/</p>

<p>Oh wow! That isn’t all that bad then. I can hope again. =)</p>

<p>according to my gov book, there are 4 linkage institutions. Elections, media, interest groups, and political parties, so you could have talked about the other 3 since elections were already in the prompt.</p>

<p>Out of curiousity, it has nothing to do with the test or anything, just wondering, what are some inherent powers of the president?</p>

<p>86/120 is the cutoff in the books, so 90 will be a safe score for a 5.</p>

<p>I think inherent powers are unstated powers.</p>

<p>Easiest AP test I’ve ever taken.</p>

<p>ap test was today. how did u guys do?
esays were sooooooooooooooo easyy!!!
they are going to bring my m.c. choice grade up for sure</p>

<p>Lets get more specific on the topic of inherent powers please</p>

<p>[inherent</a> powers](<a href=“http://■■■■■■■.com/cgxfem]inherent”>http://■■■■■■■.com/cgxfem)</p>

<p>Look it up on wikipedia.</p>

<p>“Out of curiousity, it has nothing to do with the test or anything, just wondering, what are some inherent powers of the president?”</p>

<p>Commander in Chief</p>

<p>Face of the nation, media, etc, especially during a crisis.</p>

<p>Being able to talk with foreign countries about stuff, etc. I’m too lazy to think now haha.</p>

<p>Basically, it’s the stuff the president is able to do because he is president, but isn’t stated in the constitution. </p>

<p>Wasn’t inherent powers a fr question a few years ago? I read all the 2008-2002 fr questions + answers last night to study. lol</p>

<p>who else thought that they gave us a ridiculous amount of time to do the frqs. </p>

<p>i was done answering everything with like an hour to go.</p>
