<p>Just like all APs, study in sections based off of main ideas and breaking them down in little details.</p>
<p>How can I study for these topics specifically?</p>
<p>Do you have a textbook? Try reading that. There’s really not anything more to AP social studies than reading, understanding, and remembering. It’s a lot of content, but if you can remember and understand it all, then that’s it.</p>
<p>For some reason I’m good at memorizing for science, but not for social studies. Maybe it’s just cause i hate SS and like Science?</p>
<p>Political Efficacy is easy. Just read a few articles from the PEW institute and Gallup.</p>
<p>Wow If I was you I would be suuuper happy</p>
<p>LOL! Yakisoba it’s hilarious because I remember Science more because I love it, but Humanities is pretty interesting so I like it. In 8th grade I didn’t really like SS so it ended up being my lowest grade.</p>
<p>FYI, the book I’m using is Government in America: People, Politics, and Policy AP Edition (13th Edition). If anyone is using this same book, the stuff I’m learning is around Chapter 1 pages 17-19, all of Chapter 11, Chapter 9, pages 282-289, Chapter 6, pages
202-205, Chapter 4 pages 119-120, and all of Chapter 7.</p>
<p>No Barron’s? I thought they had AP Gov.</p>
<p>^ That’s the textbook that the school provided me.</p>
<p>I’m currently using American Government and Politics Today AP* Edition - the first chapter is on what democracy is and the issues with democracy. We didn’t learn political efficacy through the text - we learned it through a series of articles from PEW and Gallup.</p>
<p>Oh… What edition? Scrap that; rhetorical question. I got noth’n</p>
