We studied 80 cases this year and those weren't even in the list IMO it is kinda obscure to ask kids to remember cases involving a relatively obscure topic such a gerrymandering.

Those cases were on the lists that the teacher gave out in our class.

swim2daend, the curve on the makeup test is determined independently from the curve for the regular test.

Did it actually say that you had to list court case names? I'm pretty sure you just had to say how they limited gerrymandering...

Yeah, you can use Shaw v Reno for that one. They asked for two ways the SC limited it, both of which can be found in that case. Anyway, the exam is REALLY easy in comparison to basically every other exam. Thus, the curve isn't ver generous. A 4 is good, a 5 is someone who could have gotten a 4 but either a)got lucky on mult choice guesses or b) got lucky and got FRQ that they knew about.

you'llsee...

You didn't have to use court case names, but I did anyway.

I used Reno v. Shaw & Miller v Johnson (can't gm solely on race). I also used Wesberry v. Sanders (districs must be as equal as possible).

Yay!! lol

I was so happy when I saw that question. I'm pretty sure I nailed the FR section.

I talked to my teacher and she said as long as you mentioned equal protection (which I did), you should get some points for that part. The Fiscal and Monetary policy questions was a cheap shot because it is more econ than govt.

i would have used court cases but didnt want to screw them up and lose points
