ABOUT ADVANCED PLACEMENT GOVERNMENT & POLITICS
The Advanced Placement Government & Politics curriculum is designed to be a college level course. The primary purpose of my class will be to prepare you to take the AP exam administered by the College Board in May. Students are encouraged to take the exam, and are graded on a scale of 1 - 5, with 5 being the highest score. Students who earn a 3 or better may be entitled to college credit, advanced placement in college, or both, depending on the individual policies of the university. It should be understood at the outset that the class reflects a college-level curriculum and as a result is significantly more challenging than regular courses in American Government and will require outside preparation and independent learning.
