I’m taking my first AP classes this year as a senior. I’m confident that I’ll be able to succeed in all of them, but I’m interested in buying an AP US Government review book as I’m not doing as well as I want to be doing. Does anyone have any suggestions on which review book I should get? My main concern is AP-style multiple choice questions; FRQ’s haven’t been a problem for me. I’d also like to get something that includes sections on important concepts and court cases.
For me, the Princeton Review “Cracking the AP US Government and Politics Exam” book was an IMMENSE help. I took all of the practice tests and read through most of the sections. They break everything up in an organized way, effectively listing everything you need to know. For Supreme Court Cases, they listed many not in my class, and one of those actually ended up being on the 2017 Free Response (Obergefell v. Hodges) that had most students scratching their heads, if I recall. Definitely read around and see what works for you, but I recommend that one.
