I posted this the other day, but in case you didn't see it, here are the instructions for taking the test on Monday. Remember, the test goes live at 3:00pm, but you will want to start getting ready and check in by 2:30pm.
This is an excellent document that consists of all of the required foundational documents, court cases, an explanation of how to best answer the two FRQ questions, and some important pieces of legislation. I would PRINT this document out and have handy as a reference if needed.
One teacher made some 1 pagers (for the most part) reference guides. Print out what you think you might want accessible.
- Constitution at a Glance
- Random Terms/Concepts that might be on the test
- Major pieces of legislation
- Checks & Balances
- Foundational Documents
- Required Court Cases
- Constitutional Clauses
How about some sample/practice FRQs? Familiarize yourself with the format and practice answering questions. The more you practice, the more prepared you will be!
Here's a slideshow that contains all of the College Board's Big Ideas, Essential Questions, and Objectives for all the units for AP Government. Remember this test will only cover units 1-3. This is a great way to review the concepts that you will be tested over. Think more big picture.
Want to go through a monster powerpoint? This slidedeck of over 100 slides covers all you need to know for units 1-3.
And finally, here are a few more videos on how to write the FRQ answers. The first three all address the Argumentative Essay while the last two cover the Concept Application and the different verbs you will see on the test. Make sure to watch the last one as it really is important to understand what is required based on the verb used. If you can't tell, I think this guy does a really good job explaining all of these concepts. Feel free to look at other videos on his YouTube page.
You Got This!
