The AP US Government and Politics Thread

<p>48-60 Raw would be on track for a 5.</p>

<p>Thank you very much!</p>

<p>does anyone have answers to the gov ap exam that has been circulating around? im willing to trade</p>

<p>Are PR’s practice exams at the end of the book accurate to the real AP exam?</p>

<p>I missed 8, which would be a five?</p>

<p>How can i study the FR, I know whats the topic about but I tend to froze when i get to writing about it
Could i answer by sections rather answering by essay style</p>

<p>On the scoring guidelines, there’s nothing that mentions points being deducted for not answering in essay format.</p>

<p>My AP Government teacher is a AP grader for these tests and he says that they prefer to have them in sections, rather than in essays.</p>

<p>how closely do the Princeton Review practive tests resemble the actual exam?</p>

<p>^^^ this is what i want to know. I am averaging about 45/60 adjusted on the PR multiple choice so this should be a low 5. But the tests seem a little to easy.</p>

<p>I have a Barrons prep book that I have been using. Do you guys think that its good for studying for the test? Is it harder or easier than the actual AP test?</p>

<p>yeah ive been wondering about PR also. i took a practice test and got 47.5. I do know that barrons is definetly harder than the actual test (it is for every subject). i would study barrons but the test is less than 48 hours away…</p>

<p>Does anyone possibly have an AP US government old ap exam? I could trade for whatever you need!</p>

<p>Thank you very much.</p>

<p>same question as itsallgood. </p>

<p>I’m willing to trade my virginity</p>

<p>Ugh I’ve been taking the practice tests in Cliffs & 5 Steps to a 5 and I have a raw score of 36-40 each time. I used SparkNotes diagnostic test and it predicts a 2.</p>

<p>I am seriously thinking about reading 75% of my text book tomorrow. I don’t know what to do, we have been reviewing one topic a day in class for like 3 weeks but it doesn’t stick with me. I read the review book and did the practice questions/worksheets/essays every night but I still feel like I know NOTHING!</p>

<p>I know my problem areas - I’m thinking about making outlines of what it is the review books and use those along with reading the textbook in the specific areas I am bad in. Does this sound good?</p>

<p>Thinking of pulling an all-nighter tonight but I’m not sure if it is worth it.</p>

<p>I think the spark notes is just exceptionally hard though.</p>

<p>Wow. That Sparknotes diagnotic test is just whack. I also got a 2 but usually score 4 or higher on some real AP Gov practice tests.</p>

<p>Dude…I’m screwed.xD </p>

<p>So. I’m a senior. Generally, this class is for juniors. I took the class last year but for stupid reasons, decided not to take the exam. I did REALLY well in the class and the teacher nudged me to take the exam this year. BAD BAD BAD idea. Especially when I have other AP classes/exams. xD </p>

<p>Uhm, but yeah. I know the material. Sortof. [FYI, SparkNotes/CliffNotes are EXTREMELY difficult compared to practice tests we took in class // Barrons] My problem: I want a study buddddy. I don’t like the juniors. Lol, funky, I know, but eeeh. </p>

<p>Anyyy takers? PM me and I’ll send you my SN. :] -totally pulling an all nighter today. XD</p>

<p>Does anybody know what a 42.75 raw score on the multiple choice would earn me?</p>

<p>Ok - I am wayyy relieved to know those practice tests are harder. I wish they had more official test copies released.</p>

<p>To idk - My teacher said 41-something is the range of a 4. I just remember 41 because I got a 41.75.</p>

<p>Government seems so hopeless. I took it this semester, but AP class and senioritis do not go together. I range in 60-70s on tests in class, but I still signed up for the exam. Now I’m just trying to cram this whole thing, but it just doesn’t go into my head. </p>

<p>I need to finish my PR book tonight. Probably going to stay on CC late. We should just have a study group on this thread tonight…:)</p>
