AP textbooks for Macro/Micro econ and comparative gov't

<p>Hi I would like to know what ap macro/micro textbook was used by people who received a 4/5 on the exam, or think they did well on this year's exams. Same deal with comparative government. What textbook did you guys use? I am self-studying these exams next year and would like to know what the best textbooks/materials are for these respective subjects. Responses very much appreciated!</p>

<p>bump plz help!</p>

<p>aww come on it'll only take 2 seconds to write the textbook name...</p>

<p>I didn't take AP Econ, but my friends at another school use Mcconnell's book, Economics. I think 17th edition. Im not sure if they used an AP prep book.</p>

<p>For Comparative govt, which i didnt take either, I've seen people use ethel wood's study guide for the AP exam, though I dont know if they used a text book mainly cuz they self studied.
For comp. govt. they test you on the government on certain countries.</p>

<p>I'm taking AP Comp Gov in my senior year. Our school uses Kesselman's book. I dunno how good it is. Care to shed some light?</p>

<p>ok thank you so much!...did your classmates do well on the exams?...
any other opinion?</p>

<p>is it this one... Amazon.com:</a> Economics: Campbell R McConnell, Stanley L Brue: Books</p>

<p>yeah that one is really good... my brother and sister used it for IB economics and passed.</p>

<p>taking both of those next year as a sophomore, looking forward to econ, not so much the comp. pol.</p>

<p>Mankiw is great for econ.</p>

<p>thanks for the help. Any book ideas for comparative?...i know i can use the ethel woods review, but i am looking for a textbook suggestion to be safe..</p>
