Need some last minute reviewing before an upcoming AP Gov test? Want an effective, concise review before the AP exam? This is the book for you!
Seriously though, this book helped me greatly throughout AP Gov. The author pulls information from previously released exams and previously used FRQs to put together just about everything you need to know for the class. There are chapters devoted to individual topics such as federalism, political parties, civil liberties, etc., along with chapters that give brief summaries of the amendments, major court cases, major acts of Congress, and important topics to review.
My teacher assigned two books for us to use for her class (neither of which were the Crash Course book), and while both were great, ultimately I found myself using this one to study.
