<p>Good luck everyone! The test is tomorrow and I’m studying like hell over here. XD</p>
<p>Question: Members of Presidential Cabinets are bureaucrats? And they’re appointed by president and approved by majority vote of senate?</p>
<p>So does anyone have any actual AP US Government and Politics MC questions?</p>
<p>@manatee - Your interpretation is correct, unless I fail worse than I thought. lol</p>
<p>Do we actually have to write essays for the FR part? or can we just bullet point them and explain in paragraphs separately. BtW, my aim is Nightdevil676</p>
<p>@sephon13 - For AP US Gov FR, bulleted lists or subdivided paragraphs are good enough.</p>
<p>And by the way, AIM screen name is mic91con</p>
<p>I’ve heard longer is better, is this true? Even if your essays are really short and address every point?</p>
<p>According to people on CC, you can just answer the questions like they’re asked. So answer: 1) a, b, c; 2) a, b, c, and so on.
But my 2004 PR book was talking about writing and planning essays. Eh, I’m going to go with CC.</p>
<p>What’s a Joint Resolution?</p>
<p>@sqdwfe13 - I believe that it wouldn’t necessarily hurt to add more detail to an essay if you can, being as these essays provide a lot of extra time, but I don’t think that longer is necessarily better than a short concise address of all the points in the question.</p>
<p>@manatee - A joint resolution is basically the same as a law, requiring the signature of the President and the approval of both houses of Congress. It is usually used when immediate attention to an issue is needed. A good example is the joint resolution used in 2001 after 9/11 to authorize Pres. Bush to take preliminary military action.</p>
<p>^ Thanks .</p>
<p>Who can introduce a bill? House & senate members, and the president? Who else?</p>
<p>okay thanks manatee. I thought longer would be worse because then they couldn’t see your actual point, just a lot of rambling.</p>
<p>It makes me feel really happy to see how I can’t answer anyone’s questions on this thread because I have no idea what they’re talking about. I’m so prepared for tomorrow!</p>
<p>@manatee: Only members of Congress can introduce bills. The President can’t.</p>
<p>What do we need to know about the bureaucracy?</p>
<p>aupamplemousse, I’d go through the Barron’s and PR stuff on Bureaucracy and also the Course Notes outline for the Bureaucracy chapter. It’s hard to know what exactly will be on the exam, so just study everything in those materials I suggested.</p>
<p>I’ve been going through Cliff Notes & 5 Steps to a 5 and my textbook, it seems like there are no specific points which is why I’m kind of at a loss. I’m just hoping that won’t be a FRQ</p>
<p>^ Ah, same here. I have been reading PR, but bureaucracy is so confusing!</p>
<p>AIM: Eclipse2xx, invite!</p>
