REA AP Comp. Government

Has anyone used this book? I bought along with the Ethel Woods book and there are a lot of differences between the two. I think that the Ethel Woods is correct. For example, Ethel Woods says that a liberal deomcracy is on that has free, competitive elcetions, along with some other qualities. IN the REA book, it says that a liberal democracy is one that has globalinfluence/a high standard of lving. Anyone want to help me? THANKS!</p>

do not, i repeat do NOT use the rea book. that was complete garbage. i bought that at first months before the ap test, and, LITERALLY 2 days before teh test, i rushed a delivery for the ethel woods book. the rea book is good for a summary, but it’s not enough to actually procure information. the ehtel woods book is like a comparative textbook. the questions i found on the ap test were like general questions about the types of governemnt, it rarely asked specifically how the government pertained to each country. </p>

my advice, use the rea book for the practice tests and the ethel book for complete studying.</p>

good luck!</p>
