<p>I'm thinking about studying it on my own over the summer, mainly because, after looking at some sample essays and multiple choice, it seems like it would be rather easy. For those who have taken it, is that true? I follow politics and know a fair amount about government already, so it doesn't seem too difficult. It is not offered as an AP at my school, so I don't really have the option of taking it as a class. Will another school that does offer it let me take the AP test with them? I was planning to buy a textbook and a couple of AP review books to learn the bulk of the material this summer. Any suggestions for what books to buy from people who have taken this class in the past? </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
