I am thrilled. I had 64 students total, with 6 receiving 5s, 19 scoring 4s, 27 receiving 3s, 10 scored 2s and 2 received 1s.  \nSusan M., JP Taravella High  \n70% of my students scored 3 or higher. This is up from last year, and is also well above the national average. Needless to say, I am very happy with my students'success. I used Albert more intentionally this year. In the beginning of the year, I wanted students simply to answer questions and practice. Once they had 150-200 questions answered, we looked for trends, strengths, and weaknesses and worked on addressing them. Students were tasked with increasing their answer accuracy no matter how many questions it took, then they set their own goals (some wanted to focus around tone; others needed practice with meaning as a whole).  \nBill S., Lapeer High School  \nLast year 40% passed with 3s and 4s. This year 87% passed, most had 4s and 5s. We used the stimulus-based multiple choice questions throughout the year and as review for the exam. I think it helped tremendously.  \nAlice P., First Baptist Christian Academy  \nInter","cbCaidHYXJrcg9H0","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidHYXJrcg9H0","pdf",3557794,143,"English","# Introduction\n## About Us\n## Democracy Theories\n## Federalism\n## Constitution Review\n## Checks and Balances\n## Bureaucracy\n## Iron Triangle\n## Linkage Institutions\n## Political Socialization\n## Super PACs\n## Electoral College\n## 1960 Election\n## 1964 Election\n## 1972 Election\n## 1976 Election\n## Key Supreme Court Cases\n## How to Study for AP US Government\n## The Ultimate List of AP US Government Tips","[{\"question\":\"What is this guide designed to help students do for the AP US Government exam?\",\"answer\":\"It provides a short collection of core principles and study strategies commonly assessed on the AP US Government exam, including overviews of central concepts and their relevance to test questions.\"},{\"question\":\"Which major AP US Government topics are covered in the guide?\",\"answer\":\"The guide covers democracy theories, federalism, constitutional review, checks and balances, bureaucracy, and political institutions and processes such as the Iron Triangle, Super PACs, and the Electoral College.\"},{\"question\":\"How does Albert support students according to the guide?\",\"answer\":\"Albert offers thousands of AP-style practice questions, personalized statistics, and on-demand access, helping students learn faster and master difficult concepts for test day.\"}]","The Ultimate Student’s Guide to AP US Government - Everything You Need to Get Started | PDF",1789900782,360]
