Customer Reviews

Great self study.

I used this book to study for both government tests. I knew nothing about the US poltics subject matter and was in a comporative government course. I got 4's on both tests. This book taught me the whole US test.

Quality, Concise, Clear.

This book is excellent. I have the Barrons, Princeton, Cliff, Kaplan, and all the released exams. This review far-surpasses every other review aid for the AP US Gov and Politics Exam.

Excellent Practice tests

This book was recommended by teacher. The review was right on target and the tests very similar to the acutal exam.

Buy this book!

This was an excellent review book. The review section was brief, but concentrated on the important stuff. The greatest part was the practice tests. There was a very helpful answers explained section that exlained why each answer was right, and mentioned why each wrong answer was wrong. This book, unlike some others I had, ended any confusion I had with any of the questions. It is true that the copying the charts and graphs are not of the best quality, but that is a minor consideration. As for the charge that it said the Democratic Party was the majority, I was unable to find that in the book. Even so, I found this book to be an invaluable help to my review and I highly recommend that you get it.

brisk subject review, excellent tests

The course review is short, even only if you're taking the U.S. Gov't exam (which i was). But it was good. There were some facts I learned in their reviews that were never enocuntered in the AP class. (One of the facts learned was a question on the AP test, and a little helped in the essays). The gem of the book is the tests. The multiple choice sections were indicative of the actual exam I took. The explanations of the answers are practically another review session. the essays were good in the sense it gave examples of what (0-3)'s, (4-6)'s, & (7-9)'s looked like, and those were helpful. Taking careful notes on what made the essays 9 or whatever were helpful, as well as just pacing yourself in the 100 minutes to write the 4 essays. Very recommended.
