<p>How do the MC questions in her Comp Gov Book(at the end of each section and on the 2 sample exams in the book) compare with college board questions? To me, her questions seem to be way too easy for an AP test, but are they?</p>
<p>Bump bump.</p>
<p>Would it be possible to post some of the questions? Don’t want to risk copyright infringement or anything, but I don’t have that book.</p>
<p>That being said, my Comp. Pol. teacher refused to teach us anything for the MC because, in her opinion, they’re </p>
<p>a) not something you can really study for, apart from the questions about specific governments, because they can test you on something totally random and basically irrelevant to current politics/government</p>
<p>and</p>
<p>b) pretty much a joke. (She gave us some sample questions and they were basically along the lines of “What are some issues that governments relying on bureaucracies must be deal with?” a) red tape b)corruption c)too efficient d)political bias of individual bureaucrats)</p>
<p>All in all I wouldn’t worry about the MC too much. Knowing current events and having the structure of all the governments of the countries they tested on down pat was much more helpful for both the MC and FRQs than anything else.</p>
<p>Sure. One question asked me to identify the name of an Iranian military organization. </p>
<p>Another asked for the name of the process by which Russia selects potential politicians. The choices were various anglicized Russia words, including glasnost and parastoika.</p>
<p>Basically, a lot of her questions are just fact check, asking me to identify the name or term of something.</p>
<p>hmmm, I would say AP MC is definitely less detailed (and thus easier) than Ethel Wood. If you practice with those, you’ll do great on AP (well, FR is hit or Miss with CoPo, it really depends on how the graders choose to do it).</p>
<p>The Ethel questions are much more difficult than those you’ll see on the AP - they are extremely specific whereas MOST of the questions you’ll see on the AP are more broad (some are specific to definitions, though).</p>
<p>^Yeah, that’s what I suspected. Ethel’s questions seem waaay too specific.</p>
