This four-class course will serve as an excellent review of all the material and skills that are assessed on both the AP U.S. Government & Politics exam AND the AP Comparative Government & Politics exam. Half of the course will be focused on AP U.S. Government and the other half will be dedicated toward AP Comparative Government. There will be graded practice questions and short answer responses will be commented on and reviewed throughout the course. 

The AP U.S. Government & Politics portion of the course will not only cover all the key content material, but will inform students on how the College Board exam questions are formed and how to write the most effective and high-scoring responses. Along with learning how to approach the multiple choice questions, the course will focus on how to use the core foundational documents of the U.S. Government and the core Supreme Court cases in response to the four FRQs (Free Response Questions).

The AP Comparative Government & Politics portion of the course will not only cover the six core nations that make up the heart of the content on the exam, but will focus on how the conceptual aspects of the course link to each of the core nations. Students will be taught how to write concise, yet detailed responses to the four FRQs (Free Response Questions) of the exam.
