Just for giggles, at the last minute I signed up for Pol Sci X today.
Here's what I remember. There were lots of questions about liberalism (Main views,different forms) A couple about Marxism Conservatism(What decade did they have the most influence?) The difference between the parties,ideals. About 3-4 questions about Parliament A few about NATO & the UN (What nations hold permanent positions? Why were they originally founded?) A few about Civil process and rights. Several about the election process of several styles of Government One about what happened in Rwanda in 1994 Hope that helps...
