3.0 out of 5 stars
Good but difficult!, May 24, 2003
This review is from: Apex AP U.S. Government & Politics (Apex Learning) (Paperback)
US Government was the first AP course I ever took, and being first, I wanted to make sure I got a good grade on it. So I bought this book and began to study it about every day for a month before the AP test. However, I found the book very confusing in some parts. Most of the words they used you had to get a dictionary to even understand. The other criticism I have is that the practice tests and questions were way harder than on the actual test. I got what would be equivalent to a "2" (out of 5) on the book test while I got closer to a 4-5 on the actual test. Good book though, but I would definitely not reccomend you use it on its own to study for an AP Exam with -- use your textbook too!
