Coming Attractions 2010

Beginning March 29, I'll post a sample FRQ here about comparative government and politics each weekday until May 1.

Realistically responding to examples is one of the best ways to prepare for the FRQs on the exam.

There are three kinds of FRQs on the AP exam:
  1. Short Answer Concept questions (#1-5)
  2. Concept Analysis questions (#6)
  3. Country Concept questions (#7-8)

In the five weeks before the exam, I'll offer 15 Short Answer Concept questions, five Concept Analysis questions, and 10 Country Concept questions for practice.

When you look at the blog archive, you'll find 45 FRQs from 2008 and 27 from 2009 that you can also use for practice. Some of them are out of date, but you should recognize that and avoid them or update them so they are appropriate for 2010. You can also find FRQs from past AP exams at the College Board site (see "Worthwhile Links" at left)

You can submit an answer for any of the FRQs using the "Questions" e-mail link at the What You Need to Know web site. (Look in the lower, right-hand section of that page.)

If you submit the earliest best answer, I'll post your answer (without your name) here a week after the question was posted.

No prizes, but, I'll add your school's web address to the list of "Worthwhile Links" on the left side of the blog, IF you send it to me.
