=Construct your own AP Go-Po Exam=

So, you decided to take the AP Exam - congratulations! Your assignment as we approach the AP Exam is to construct your own version of this year's exam. Here's what you will be doing...

Your exam should have the following

 * 1) A cover page with a name for your exam (along with the names of the members of your group)
 * 2) 80 Multiple Choice Questions (20 more than the actual exam, but practice makes perfect!)
 * Unit I (14 Questions) - Chapters 1, 2, and 3
 * Unit II (10 Questions) - Chapters 4, 18, and 19
 * Unit III (10 Questions) - Chapters 5, 6, 9, and 10
 * Unit IV (8 Questions) - Chapters 7 and 8
 * Unit V (15 Questions) - Chapters 11, 15, and 17
 * Unit VI (15 Questions) - Chapters 12, 13, and 20
 * Unit VII (8 Questions) - Chapters 14 and 16
 * 1) Multiple Choice Questions should alternate, with one question per bullet //before// repeating the cycle again. Rinse and repeat cycle, dropping Units from the rotation the when questions run out.
 * 2) Four Short Response questions (one of which needs to use a poll, map, graph, or political cartoon), similar in style to the questions asked over the course of this year (five "points" to answer per question).
 * One question created from Unit __I__ (basis and founding of American Government)
 * One question created from Units __III__ or __IV__ (how American Government gets people involved)
 * One question created from Units __V__ or __VI__ (Congress and the Presidency)
 * One question created from Units __II__ or __VII__ (Court system and laws)
 * 1) Provide an answer key in the following format for the multiple choice questions:
 * The correct answer / Unit that the question comes from
 * 1) Provide outline answers for all four of the Short Response questions
 * 2) A bibliography of sources (for multiple choice questions, essay questions, maps, documents, etc.)

Assigned roles (for groups of four)

 * 1) Develop multiple choice questions (42) for Units I - IV
 * All questions should have five choices and match the amount of questions allowed per unit
 * To make the job of the "central organizer" easier, have each unit separated from the other ones
 * Include multiple choice answers with your questions (make sure they are correct too!)
 * You may use either the "Wilson Study Guides" found on this website OR the Test Banks provided by me via email
 * 1) Develop multiple choice questions (38) for Units IV - VI
 * All questions should have five choices and match the amount of questions allowed per unit
 * To make the job of the "central organizer" easier, have each unit separated from the other ones

 * 1) Develop four essay questions
 * Based on the format found above (five scored answers per question)
 * Outline of how to answer each of the four questions
 * Can use other sources for questions (but not for the outline), but make sure you state where you got it from

 * If a problem develops with a member of your group OR if if the work they turn-in requires extra effort for other members, the "central organizer" should notify Mr. Freccia ASAP
 * This is an EFFORT grade - you do what you are told (and do a quality job) you will get full credit
 * 1) Level of difficulty (25 points)
 * Five groups will take your exam
