Continuity prevails over change from administration to administration. Domestic political considerations often figure centrally in what the United States Americans have become resigned to this state of affairs. My personal, professional vocation arose from a desire to alter this sorry picture.

Hello everyone, I am looking to self-study AP US Gov and Politics. I already know a good deal on the subject and follow current events and governmental policy pretty closely.

I have already bought the Barron's Book and the Princeton Review Book, and I plan to use both of them. I have some experience with Barron's books so I was thinking about starting with that, although I hear that the Princeton book is better and will prepare me better for the AP exam. That makes me want to use the Princeton book more. My goal is to both learn the subject well because it is something I am highly interested in and get a 5 on the AP exam. I was also thinking that I should due about a chapter a week until a month before the AP exam, when I start taking practice exams. Any tips on self-studying would be highly appreciated as it is not something I have done before.

So, which book should I use and how? I'm currently in AP US Gopo, so maybe you want someone who has actually taken it. But from what I've researched over the summer the key to a 5 is doing all the readings from a textbook. Evidently, as a self-studier yourself you probably don't have one.

Even the PR/Barron's books could be insufficient (for a full analysis, check out this site: ). The textbook we use at school is straightforward with a lot of graphics, and skinnier than most of my other textbooks: American Government Roots and Reform (*AP Edition) - by Karen O'Connor, Larry J.

Sabato, and Alixandra B. You should go through 1 chapter each week, or 1 section per night (and that should give you plenty of time to review if you start in December (a little over a month)). And then, according to the link I posted with this post, get crash course when you're ready to start reviewing for the exam itself.

But again, feel free to get a second opinion. I took AP US Gov last year and I used Princeton Review as my main means of study before the AP test in May and I got a 5. The book went over everything you needed to know and more; also, it went in an order that made sense to me. I looked at my friend's Barrons review book and from first glance it seemed like it was missing some vital facts and information. If I were to take the class again I would 100% use Princeton Review again. And as for using the book, I read through it once, underlining the most important information, but I didn't annotate because I think it slows me down, but whatever works best for you is what you should do.

After I highlighted, I outlined the whole Princeton Review book. The practice multiple choice in the Princeton Review are hard, but a fair measure of the difficulty of the AP US Gov test; they are slightly harder. The practice essays in the Princeton Review are WAY harder than what will be on the AP test so to practice those I searched online for some practice prompts. I've been reading 'AP* Comparative Government and Politics: An Essential Coursebook and Study Guide 5th Edition.' It's really solid. I totally recommend it if you have the means. I think it costs something like $12-17 used.

There's a 6th edition, but it's really expensive and I just refuse to pay $50 for a paperback. There are also tons of free online courses with literally everything there is to know for the exam, so I would recommend looking for those. I also have the Princeton Review book, but I haven't done much with it yet because I'm only a couple pages into my prep book.
