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...
