2024, Set 2, Question 4 · Argument Essay · 6 points · about 40 minutes
Groups and movements as democratic participation
Evaluate organized interests and social movements as vehicles for broad public involvement, supporting your argument with foundational evidence.
Responses were handwritten, and the essay directions allowed concession when addressing another perspective. The current exam has 4 free-response questions in 100 minutes. The skills these questions practice still count.
Not in the current course. The prompt lists concession, but the 2024 scoring guide requires rebuttal or refutation for the alternate-perspective point.
