Hello everyone! I'm currently preparing for my AP Gov exam, and I'm searching for some exemplary FRQs to study. If anyone knows where I could find samples or examples, that'd be super helpful. Thanks!
Hello!
Great initiative! Preparing for the FRQs in AP Government & Politics can indeed be a crucial part of your studies. If you're looking for samples and examples, the best source would be the College Board's website itself. They provide several free-response questions from past exams along with scoring guidelines and sample responses.
When reviewing these examples, pay close attention to the quality of the sample responses and how they align with the scoring guidelines for a profound understanding of what AP graders are looking for. Also, note the patterns among the questions asked over the years to identify the topics that are often covered.
Keep in mind: the more practice FRQs you do, the better you’ll get at them! You can even time yourself to emulate real exam conditions. So, browse through the College Board's resources, and you'll find plenty of FRQs to practice with. Happy studying!
