5.0 out of 5 stars this book is great; it weeds out the important stuff
Reviewed in the United States on September 20, 2015
Verified Purchase
I am so thankful for this book. I basically used government class as a study hall the entire year, so without this book I would have failed. Luckily, our classroom tests happened to be very closely aligned with the AP exam, so before every unit test I would read the corresponding chapter in this book while highlighting key information, and then read the chapter again. That's it. Compared to the (busy) work assigned in most classes, this book is great; it weeds out the important stuff, gives you a handy glossary (know all those terms and you'll get half the questions on the AP test right), gives you TWO practice tests (I only had time to complete one, but I recommend at least doing both sets of FRQ's), and basically saves you a load of time and worry. What I love most about this book is that the information is concise, but it doesn't skimp on words when explaining concepts; everything I had trouble wrapping my brain around suddenly "clicked" when I read this book. I will say that rushing through this book the week before the test doesn't guarantee you a five; what you put into it is what you get out of it. For me, it was especially useful to highlight and sometimes take notes in the (huge) margins, since I tend to skim passages without absorbing anything. Needless to say, without this book I wouldn't have gotten a five.

5.0 out of 5 stars Does the job
Reviewed in the United States on September 11, 2015

I just got my scores back from the AP test after using this book and I got a 5. The most important part of this book is the practice tests. It is essential that as a student you do as many practice tests as possible to get used to the questions and to be prepared. I went through the review a little, but I primarily used it for the practice tests, which is, in my opinion, the way it should be used.

TIP: In addition to this book, many more review problems and even released test questions can be found online through a google search. This helped me very much, and it will definitely help you as well :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Some minor glitches, but still recommended
Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2015
Verified Purchase
I bought this book all the way back in September to prepare for the exam, and it did a pretty good job for the most part. The review was very comprehensive—with the exception of a few concepts and vocabulary, everything on the test had been at least touched on at some point in the book. However, some concepts—particularly specifics of the bureaucracy—were covered much too in depth, and would be better if those specifics were cut down on a little bit. There also needs to be more of a connection among each individual topic—you need to know relationships between branches, something that is absent for the most part in the review book. The multiple choice tests were mostly accurate, although there are some questions that go too in depth on a certain topic or are specific facts that you would not be expected to know on the test (it's always better for the practice tests to be harder, rather than easier, than the real test). The free response questions, on the other hand, are much too demanding—you almost certainly won't need to state three examples of something, and most questions on the actual exam are more overarching, not on obscure topics (like scandals). A few additional concerns would be that the only free response examples provided are the ones in the practice tests, and that the drills are fairly limited by testing simply on content acquisition, not on application.

To summarize, it's overall a slightly over-thorough review, and it lacks the connection between concepts, but I would certainly recommend it to a future student, as long as they use additional resources like released free-response questions. Hopefully, the 2016 version of this book will be improved, but for now this version is more than satisfactory.

Reviewed in the United States on July 16, 2016
Verified Purchase
AP Government quickly became the class for doing homework during the lectures and cramming the night before the test. The AP test was no different. Overloaded with other AP tests to study for, I literally did not start studying until the night before. That's when I bought this book after school. I read it all in one night (which I probably wouldn't recommend), skipped over the court cases (luckily, only the most common ones were on the test), and breezed through the AP test. I ended up getting a 5. This book has everything you need to know in it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best choice for Gov exams
Reviewed in the United States on July 12, 2015

This book helped me a get a 5 on the 2015 AP gov exam and study for my final and unit exams, even though I took the class online and didn't feel as if I was up to pace with my in-classroom peers. It has everything you need to know for a Gov exam without the fluff, and it quite easy to read and learn from. It is also significantly cheaper than the current version, especially since there is no material difference between the two products.

3.0 out of 5 stars 5 Steps to a 5 is better.
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2009
Verified Purchase
I had an amazing AP Government teacher, so I bought this as a supplement. I had many other AP Classes, for them I purchased 5 steps to a 5 series, but with this one I chose Princeton Review because it had been updated in 2009, or something and The 5 steps to a 5 hadn't been updates since 2007 or something like that. I read though this book very lightly for a week before test, I did get to read though all of it. It made me feel more comfortable. The Ap Government test was an easier test, but I only scored a 2 0n it, I was extremely shocked I felt as if I had did very good. I think if I wouldn't have answer so many of the questions I would have done better. Overall it was an OK book but I would suggest 5 steps to a 5 series.
