<p>Junior year coming up :(. And i’m pretty comfortable with my schedule apart from one class which is AP Comparative Government. For anyone who has taken the class what do you have to do to get an A in the class??? My GPA is incredibly low and its my make or break year.</p>
<p>I took the class last year. An A however, is pretty subjective, depending on your teacher. Mine for example, gave one homework chart and exam per country over the entire year. (That’s 6 homework assignments and a couple A’s scattered). The tests had huge curves. Extra Credit was available. Essentially, anyone that wanted an A could work for one. </p>
<p>Since your teacher will likely be different, it’s tough to give advice for an “A”. I can offer up some suggestions for getting a 5 on the exam.
First and foremost, get this book: [Amazon.com:</a> AP Comparative Government and Politics: a Study Guide, 4th edition (9780974348179): Ethel Wood: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/AP-Comparative-Government-Politics-Study/dp/0974348171/ref=pd_sim_b_1]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/AP-Comparative-Government-Politics-Study/dp/0974348171/ref=pd_sim_b_1)
It will be you comp gov bible, and surpasses the textbooks we used in class.
Second: Have good study habits, as usual. Anything you’d do typically in a challenging course.
Third: Make sure you have a strong grasp on the comparative government vocabulary. It’s much more important remembering the difference between Mexico and Russia’s legislature, or the name of the UK’s Prime Ministers.</p>
<p>If you know your teacher, and their teaching style, you could describe it and I might be able to offer up some advice.</p>
<p>I would highly suggest you study and do your work with precision.</p>
