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!
