<p>my school does not offer this AP... but i am in the honors course and the book is a pretty good one... Magruders(sp?)... i think... how detailed is this test? is it hard?... would one semester of this class (would cover the entire text) and using an AP guide be sufficient enough for success on the AP test?</p>
<p>thanks.</p>
<p>honestly, i think you could do fine with that. my ap gov class last year was kind of a joke, but that was mostly due to the fact that it was spread out over an entire year instead of a semester. there are some picky details you need to know about congress stuff and other technicalities, which i honestly don't remember. i don't think i retained any information in that class. but anyway, you'll do fine.</p>
<p>There's this one student in my Government class that is taking Honors Government and AP Gov't/Politics concurrently. From what I've heard from her, they're teaching the exact same things, except that AP uses much larger and more complex explanations and definitions. We're using Magruder's as well.</p>
<p>My ap gov class IS a joke. NOt that I'm complaining. You'll be fine. Just get a review book :D</p>
<p>I love my ap gov class. So much fun!</p>
<p>APGOV was the easiest class ever, but fun. I barely did or learned anything and I got a 4 on the exam. If your teacher actually teaches, it can't be that tough to get a 5.</p>
<p>I had AP Gov. last year...It was easy, and the essay's on the exam were ridiculously easy (very broad, although in the review book, they were insanely specific)...I do not know if it's like that every year, though.</p>
<p>you'll do fine. I'm currently in AP gov and by the looks of it, my whole class will fail the AP test. We hardly do or learn anything. It's basically the slacker senior AP class.</p>
