4.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Title, May 5, 2010
By 
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: AP U.S. Government & Politics Crash Course (Advanced Placement (AP) Crash Course) (Paperback)
Perhaps I was expecting too much, but this book truly lives up to its name. It is a crash course, something to read a week or two ahead of the test. Although it contains vital information, it does so in a watered-down version. I did have to look some things up on the Internet or the book provided to me from the teacher. Overall, however, this is a great buy, and it is probably the only book on the market that can provide this much useful information in so little pages. My advice would be to not rely on this solely, and do additional research (just to be sure).

5.0 out of 5 stars Best book for AP government, August 10, 2011
This review is from: AP U.S. Government & Politics Crash Course (Advanced Placement (AP) Crash Course) (Paperback)
This book had everything for my ap exam. My teacher was super boring and droned on and on and on.... basically he didn't help much for the ap exam. In desperate need I looked for a book to help me on the AP exam and I somehow stumbled upon this book. It is THE BEST book for gov and I highly recommend it. Nothing is in here that won't be on the test and nothing is included that wont be on the test. When test day rolled around I finished the 60 minute multiple choice in about 20 minutes. I breezed through the exam. That is not something many people can say about an exam. The results payed off when I got my 5 and my college credit. Take it from me, Rick James, ITS THE BEST.
