Comparative Politics Today by Almond

I was wondering, for those of you who have used this book, what chapters I need to read. I plan on self studying and want to know if I should only read the chpaters pertaining to the countries that collegeboard specifies, or if I should also read all the introduction stuff like Government and Policy making, Public Policy, etc. Thank you!</p>

Come on guysssss, please</p>

Amazon is always a great place for textbook reviews. </p>

yes read everything</p>

I took the AP Comp Gov exam this year without taking the class and just skimming the ethel woods book. I am completely confident I got a 5 and I did better than some of my classmates who actually took the class. There is no reason to waste your time with reading this textbook</p>

@blabbermouth‌ heey i am currently using the book you are talking about and I’ve been facing the same problem. What’d you do? Did you only read the part about the countries, which starts from chapter 8, or did you read the whole book? Please help!
And what did you score?

@notypical‌ @blabbermouth‌ just get the Ethel Woods book and read it cover to cover. Its essentially the answer key to the test. Its great.
