<p>Im currently attending Mt SAC community college and all of the lower level political science classes have been completely essay based usually involving one big essay question and 5 short essays questions. In all of the classes we have been given the questions in advance in order to prepare our essays for the exams; we aren't allowed to bring in our prepared essay but can memorize them for the exam. I was wondering if this is how UCLA's political science exams are or if you have to determine yourself from lectures and readings what topics are going to be on the exam and pray that you studied the right material? I might transfer to UCLA next fall so I was just wondering what I should expect.</p>
<p>try the UCLA forum.</p>
