In this video Heimler shows you how to write the last FRQ on the AP Government exam: the Argumentative Essay. This is an essay scored on a six point rubric, and a lot rides on getting the thesis correct. In fact, if you miss the thesis point, the highest you can get on the argumentative essay is 1/6.

Additionally, Heimler shows you how to use evidence to support your thesis and how to nail the alternative perspective.

As far as essays, go, this one is pretty straightforward, but make sure you get a lot of practice so you can nail the argumentative essay FRQ on your AP government exam.

Man, I should strongly consider to take these videos more seriously. I hear a lot of comments in the lines of “these videos have carried me in this class.” It’ll make a good study routine.

Your videos have been very helpful!
Best of luck, all you test takers.
