AP Comparative Gov and US Gov- need some help

Test Preparation
1

<p>I'm taking both next wednesday. Right now I have an REA book that covers both subjects and access to a government teacher who would be able to answer questions about US government and maybe comparative. I feel moderately prepared for the US gov exam (though I do badly on the multiple choice in the REA- 60 % or so). I figure I'll just read through the REA, take some notes, and make sure I know everytihng in there. </p>

<p>However, I don't think REA is enough to do well on the Comparative exam. The information for each country seems lax and inadequate for a college credit exam. Also, I read the free response asks a question about a developing country (india and other places). the REA book contains notihng about developing countries. does anyone know where I could get some information about these developing countries?</p>

<p>Also, is there a lot of current events on these exams? The REA book only goes up to the year 2000. doe sanyone know where I can get events from the last 5 years relationing to politics for these countries</p>

<p>thank you to anyone who responds</p>

<p>Can someone who has already taken the test (and done well on it) let us know if the info covered on that site is good enough?</p>

<p>college board has some stuff on their site- you may have to go into the teacher page and sign up (with a little white lie), but it's worth it. Some current events articles and such. if you want to overnight something from amazon ethel woods or ken weddings is a good idea- both MUCH more updated than REA.</p>
