Book Reviews of Barron's AP U.S. Government and Politics 2009 (Barron's How to Prepare for the Ap Us Government and Politics Advanced Placement Examination)
Book Review: Find a better book.
Summary: 2 Stars
The details from the publisher appropriately say "general review" because it is SO general. The details of US government that you really need for this test are absent from the review (come on, it's an AP test, they're looking for college-level understanding) and the review questions at the end of each chapter and the practice tests are completely based on almost word for word the book material and were so much weirder/harder than the actual test. I don't think this book helped me at all for the test, and unfortunately I had to buy it for class anyway or I never would've wasted my money.
I think if you want a 3 on the test- review only with this book. If you want a 4/5 use your textbook extensively (like I did) or get a much better book.
