AP Government Study Plan
AI-generated Daily Plans for the AP United States Government and Politics Exam. Five units covering the foundations, branches, civil rights, political beliefs, and political participation in the US.
What's on the AP United States Government and Politics Exam
- Foundations of American Democracy
- Interactions Among Branches of Government
- Civil Liberties and Civil Rights
- American Political Ideologies and Beliefs
- Political Participation
Why it's hard
The required documents (Federalist 10, Brutus 1, the Constitution, etc.) and 15 required Supreme Court cases are non-negotiable. Students who skim them lose points on the document-based FRQ.
How Fennie helps
Fennie drills the 9 foundational documents and 15 SCOTUS cases as a separate track — recognition, holding, reasoning — until you can pull any of them from memory.

Frequently asked questions
What are the 15 required SCOTUS cases?
Marbury, McCulloch, US v Lopez, Engel, Wisconsin v Yoder, Tinker, Schenck, NYT v US, Gideon, Roe (now historical context), McDonald, Brown, Citizens United, Baker, Shaw v Reno. Fennie keeps them current.
Is AP Gov easy?
Pass rate is high (~50% score 3+), but the 5 rate hovers around 15%. The required-documents FRQ is where most students lose the gap to a 5.
Can Fennie generate SCOTUS comparison FRQs?
Yes — Fennie generates SCOTUS-comparison prompts that match the College Board format and grades your response against the rubric.
