So I’m taking AP gov next year and I need to buy my review book. What’s been the best book, in your opinion? </p>
<p>REA Crash Course hands down. I really liked the format and simplicity of the book. I’ve seen other review books and they’re longer and go into too much detail. They have these little tips every few pages. This goes over content you must absolutely know. Let me tell you, these were LIFESAVERS because it actually shows up on the exam. Crash Course should easily get you at least a 4 (if you pay attention in class along with reading it). </p>
<p>Seconding crash course! It’s the closest thing to an AP cheat sheet I’ve ever seen. No, seriously, you’ll be amazed how many things show up on the test exactly worded like they are in the guide.</p>
<p>Crash course is the best if you want a book. </p>
<p>However, I would recommend saving your money and just watching CSPAN cram for the exam. I found it more helpful than my review book. It covers everything of importance and takes less time to get through. </p>
