The biggest complaint that I have with this book is that the answers explained are horrible. They are either useless or only confuse you more. I would highly recommend you to buy the REA(Research & Education Association) Review Book. It also has two tests but the answers explained section is quite helpful, not only telling you why an answer is right, but why each wrong answer is wrong. I have also found the test questions to be much more difficult and confusing in this book than any review book I got and from the actual exam that I just took. I am rather sorry that I wasted my money on this book and urge you not to do so as well.

For AP Government the Barrons book provided a good review for my students. Although I wish they would include more than 2 practice tests, the topics were well covered. It hit almost all the needed key court cases. I would reccomend this book for any student who wants to pass the exam.

This book is all you need. The subject review is spanning and complete. The exams are thorough and challenging. The practice mutliple choice questions and essays will give you a work out. Nice preparation.

This book provided all the major information from the course, and, like most other Barron's Guides, was moderately in depth over the coursework. The sample tests were all right, but some of the questions seemed too easy.

This book is a must buy for anyone who wants to brush up or participated in their school "We the People" program. (Especially those who went to State or National competition. You fellas got a lot of catch up to do for the AP Tests.)
