Book Reviews of American Government (Cliffs Quick Review)

Book Review: Works for the AP Test, Too
Summary: 5 Stars

This handy book is just what the subtitle says it is: a quick review. I studied this book in the days before the Advanced Placement examination and passed easily. Several times I answered questions correctly with knowledge that I had picked up from this short volume. It is written in clear and sufficiently detailed prose, and takes the form of an outline of the subject. Hence it is a very handy tool for reviewing before the AP test, the CLEP test (as the other reviews here posit), as well as for reviewing before an in-class test (that is, if you are taking a class on US government and politics in high school or even college). It covers all the big topics like constitutional history, congress, and the federal bureaucracy. If you are looking for a narrative textbook-style study aid with a bit more beef I also recommend Cliffs Notes' CliffsNotes AP U.S. Government and Politics, with CD-ROM (Cliffs AP), which is also by the same author (Paul Soifer). And keep in mind that you need not throw down ten dollars for this outline, it is available online at the Cliffs Notes website for free (but don't tell anyone).
