<p>I practiced some with M/C questions and it seems to me, the questions are wither you know it or not ones. How long are your free responses. Is it necessary requires to be essay format?</p>
<p>My FR answers are usually three-five paragraphs, depending on how many sub-questions there are. I am not sure if the answers need to be in essay format, but I often divide my answer after an introductory paragraph with: a) … b) … c) …</p>
<p>I found post #6 in this thread helpful: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/692418-those-who-have-taken-ap-comparative-ap-u-s-government-exam.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/692418-those-who-have-taken-ap-comparative-ap-u-s-government-exam.html</a></p>
<p>Not much is difficult on AP US Gov’t test. I’ve taken five or six past MC tests and gotten over 55/60 on all of them. The MC is literally the same every year except the question is worded slightly different. For free response I would just label short answers like ajibike said answer to question a…b…c…</p>
<p>I don’t think there is too much difficult to it, the questions are all very fact based and there is very usually only one correct answer as opposed to constantly having to find the “best” answer like on some tests. As for the essay, it only requires short responses adequate to what the question is asking divided into a), b), c), etc. If a) turns out to be a single sentence (like with a question that asks you to define a term), that’s fine. If a) turns out to be a paragraph (like a political analysis question) that’s fine too. Each sub-question can have different length based on the question.</p>
