Detailed Information
AP US Government and Politics is a political science exam covering the US constitutional order, federalism, Congress, the Presidency, federal judiciary, civil liberties and rights, political ideologies and participation. The exam includes 55 MCQs and 4 FRQs. FRQs include concept application, SCOTUS comparison, data analysis and argumentative essay.
In AP US Government, knowing the 14 required Supreme Court cases (SCOTUS cases) and being able to relate these decisions to constitutional principles is critical. The facts, reasoning and constitutional significance of landmark decisions such as Marbury v. Madison, Brown v. Board and Citizens United are tested. TestPrep tutors cover each SCOTUS decision in detail within the context of constitutional articles and amendments. Strong thesis creation and constitutional evidence usage strategies are taught for argumentative essays.

Martina Grimaldi
As the exam got closer, I wasn't sure what I should actually review. Questions from other students often helped me as well. I went into the exam much calmer than I would have before. Thanks to TestPrep for helping me stay on track.
Sora Sung
At the beginning, we knew very little about the AP Exams system as parents. Online lessons made it possible to continue without losing time on travel.
Takumi Nakajima
We wanted our child to keep up with the school pace in AP US Government. We would recommend the program to students and families in a similar situation.
Logan Prescott
Breaking AP US Government into smaller pieces worked much better for me. Using the mark scheme to review my own answer was surprisingly helpful. My confidence improved along with the results.
Francesca Piras
I finally understood what was going wrong in AP US Government. After a while, the questions started to feel much more familiar.
Lachlan Langford
After my first attempt, I wanted the second round of preparation to feel more organized. Even in a group lesson, the tutor knew where each of us stood. There was no overnight miracle, but the progress was easy to see. I'm glad I worked with my tutor through this process.
Solene Tessier
I was doing questions for AP US Government on my own but never had a steady routine. The feedback I received on AP US Government was clear and practical. My tutor made it easy to ask questions from the first lesson. Connecting examples back to the main point made my writing more consistent. I left the exam feeling that I had done what I could. Thank you to the tutor who stayed supportive until the end.
Signe Sorensen
Over time, AP US Government became one of the most organized parts of my AP Exams preparation. My preparation became much more regular and easier to track.
Noelia Aguirre
What annoyed me most was losing easy points because I rushed. The plan changed with my mock and homework results, so the work never felt random. The mocks showed where my time was actually being lost. Using the mark scheme to review my own answer was surprisingly helpful. I wasn't trying to learn new topics at the very last minute. Thanks to TestPrep for helping me stay on track.
Hiroto Takeuchi
I was doing questions for AP US Government on my own but never had a steady routine. My tutor could see my reasoning and usually found the source of an error quickly. Source questions became easier once I noticed how small details affected the mark. My tutor made it easy to ask questions from the first lesson. Lesson times could fit around school, university or work. I'm genuinely thankful to my tutor for being patient.
Fernanda Rezende
After my first attempt, I wanted the second round of preparation to feel more organized. Lesson times could fit around school, university or work. I went into the exam much calmer than I would have before. Thank you to my tutor and the TestPrep team.
Beatriz Cunha
When I started preparing for AP Exams, I wasn't sure what order to study things in. The class felt relaxed enough to ask questions without overthinking it. Connecting examples back to the main point made my writing more consistent. One bad mock no longer made me want to drop the whole plan. Questions from other students often helped me as well. I'm glad I worked with my tutor through this process.
