Mastering Your Politics Exam Strategy

Acing your politics exam is actually about structure, not just memorizing laws.

For the discussion essay, stop rambling and use the cheat code: one Pro argument,

one Contra argument, and a hard Conclusion with your personal opinion. If you don't quote

the text, you automatically lose points, so cite every single claim.

When you see a political cartoon, skip the boring description and go straight to the

interpretation because that is where the real points are. Remember that the media is the Fourth

Estate that keeps the government in check. Treat the exam like a checklist and

you will walk out with an easy A.
