<p>I got a 5 with Ethel Wood’s book and being a news junkie/extemper. If you follow current events and the news a lot, you should have an advantage, and can probably forgo a textbook for Wood’s book.</p>
<p>I crammed for a week before the exam, so if you start 1.5, 2 months out, you should be fine. You probably wouldn’t need to though.</p>
<p>If you can define all of Ethel Wood’s vocab words pretty well (and there are a lot of them), you should be in good shape for the FRQs. I couldn’t say on the MC; a lot of it was just absorbed knowledge for me.</p>
