<p>add them…</p>

<p>yeah a party whip is someone who goes around to other party members to make sure they’re voting the right way</p>

<p>I found a AP Gov class web site with a ton of practice quizzes (not actual AP questions, but good for review) : [AP</a> U](<a href=“http://www.meridian.wednet.edu/~slawrenc/PracticeQuizzes.htm]AP”>http://www.meridian.wednet.edu/~slawrenc/PracticeQuizzes.htm)</p>

<p>is it possible to get a 4 with just 50 mult choice right cuz it seems like it according to sqwfe13</p>

<p>What’s Rules Committee?</p>

<p>The Rules Committee is in the House, it decides which bills will be voted ans when. They decide the schedule after the committees have voted.</p>

<p>What are the differences between independent agencies/regulatory agencies? What do I need to know about bureaucracy for the test?</p>

<p>Thanks, green apple .</p>

<p>what’s the difference btwn us attorney and district attorney?</p>

<p>kthejohnster, yes, it would be possible to get a four with only 50 (out of 60) MC right. Actually, if you did well on the essays too, that would be a five.</p>

<p>We had an Economic Policy chapter…I did the worst on that one, lol. <em>reaches for PR book</em></p>

<p>how late is everyone planning to stay up to study for this? i’m thinking 11-12…for me…</p>

<p>Eh… probably 1 to 2.</p>

<p>can someone explain to me the interstate commence clause. I get the gist of it, but i don’t see how it plays a role in a case like lopez v. u.s</p>

<p>I will probably just review some amendments and common court cases for an hour two and then take a practice test.
Shooting for a 5 but I’ll probably get a 3 or 4. </p>

<p>Good luck tomorrow, everyone. :)</p>

<p>anyone know what raw score u need to get a 3?</p>

<p>Topoftheworld, I hated the Economic Policy chapter. Didn’t understand it one bit, and I still don’t. I don’t think it’s in the PR book, I might be wrong though.</p>

<p>Can anyone tell me what party realignment/dealignment is? It’s sorta confusing. </p>

<p>I hate all the bureaucracy, Congress, and Presidency chapters because they are so confusing. Esepcially the stuff about agencies and Cabinet makeup is too much to comprehend.</p>

<p>party dealighnment is when voters do not identify as well with their party…realignment is when voters identify more with a certain party…</p>

<p>I have an old PR book that seems to suggest actually writing essays. I’ll probably do bullets, but either way I’m going to have a hard time remembering the necessary details. Here’s to at least a 4!</p>
