Series Details

About

This tutoring series will cover the format of AP Government FRQs, which will be applicable for AP US Government and AP Comparative Government. By the end of the series, we will have gone through formats for all different types of AP Government FRQs (SAQs and Argumentative Essays), and we will do some practice examples. Each session we will go through a different type of FRQ, in chronological order the way you will see them on exam day. We will be having a small group, so expect interactive sessions in which we discuss different strategies and peer review each other's examples and practice. I hope to see you in this series!

✋ ATTENDANCE POLICY

Although I would highly recommend attending each session, it is completely fine if you need to miss a session here and there. All I ask, though, is that you let me know which sessions you won't be attending.

About the Tutor

I'm a high school graduate from Arizona, and I am so happy to help out here! I have passed 15 AP exams (US Gov, CSP, Lang, Euro, Calc AB, Comp Gov, Biology, Chemistry, Physics 1, Lit, French, Statistics, US History, Seminar, & Research), scoring a 5 on 13 of those exams and a 4 on the other 2. If you have any questions on any of the aforementioned APs, or on the dSAT/PSAT/ACT, please feel free to reach out!:)

Session 1

We'll start with a quick orientation to get to know each other. Then, we will proceed with an overview of the format of the FRQ section of an AP Government Exam. Afterwards, we will go over the SAQ section, looking specifically at how to format SAQs to maximize both points and efficiency. As time permits, we will practice SAQ writing and peer review sample SAQs.
