I didn't really want to use Barron's for AP Gov but I didn't really have a choice because Cliffsnotes didn't have an updated version. I gave up reading from my AP textbook....mainly because there was an chapter dedicated to explaining what the internet was. I liked that this book had the key terms at the beginning of each chapter and I made sure I understood everyone of those terms.

I appreciated that this book is super up to date, but believe this caused the book to not be as well written.

I used this to prepare for the FSOT and it wasn't that useful.
