| You're a high school junior. You're enrolled in an AP
U.S. Government & Politics class. Your teacher
insists that you should be ready to take the Advanced
Placement (AP) U.S. Government & Politics test at the
end of the year. Problem is, your class ran out of time
and missed a few sections which the test covers. What's
up with that? By reading Kaplan's Apex Learning guide, you'll be able to get a comprehensive refresher on key content areas the AP U.S. Government & Politics exam covers. A worthwhile investment for less than $20! Easy-to-read, this book gives students an idea of what the exam covers (one year of introductory, college-level U.S. government and politics) and what they can expect in the exam (almost 2 and a half hours worth of multiple choice and essay questions). Not only does it provide kids with the areas that are covered on the exam, it gives them the basics in test-taking strategies. This study guide emphasizes the importance of drawing links and analyzing relationships between governmental figures and institutions. Basically, students need to correctly apply the facts they've studied in school--the exam particularly visits how the main components of government are related.You know, the whole enchilada! All of the essential course topics are covered in this book, so don't feel free to skip ANY of the chapters. The basics in stress management are also addressed in Unit One. The units and chapters are well-organized and include key vocabulary terms and concepts, sample multiple-choice and essay questions, and key points to remember. Here's what you can find in this study guide: Unit One: The Basics Unit Two: Foundations of American Government Unit Three: Political Beliefs and Attitudes Unit Four: Political Parties, Elections, Interest
Groups, and the Media Unit Five: Institutions of American Government Unit Six: Civil Rights and Civil Liberties Unit Seven: Public Policy in American Government Unit Eight: Practice Test (full length with answer keys and detailed explanations for each question) Feel free to highlight this book, write in the margins and get comfortable with all the chapters before taking the test. If you've read the book and taken the sample test and scored poorly, you may not be ready to take the AP U.S. Government & Politics Exam (which will cost you and your parents $77). |
