5 Steps to a 5 AP U.S. Government and Politics Flashcards (5 Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations Series) 1st Edition

If you like flashcards, this product is certainly better than making your own cards. If you are prone to anxiety, you can see how many cards you've reviewed and how many you have still to review, so I think it helps your mindset. However: we felt that the writers must have been told that they have to come up with 600 cards -- because some of the questions seemed ridiculously simple for an AP review project. So you probably have "only" 550 cards to review.

Thorough review for the AP exam. Material clearly covered. Printed on very thin paper which was fine because of the little use they got, but wouldn't save to share with friends ~ which is fine as the exam material changes over time and it's nice to get the latest edition. Recommended.

I ordered these flashcards for my senior daughter who needed to take the AP U.S. Government exam a year after she actually took the class as a junior. (Long story short, it was her first AP test ever, and she was a junior in a class full of seniors, so the teacher didn't think to mention the early start time. She also didn't prepare them very well.) So I ordered these cards and the book (5 Steps to a 5) to help her prepare. She loved them and hated them at the same time..."Do you know how many cards are in that box?", and "I fall asleep with that freakin' book every night!" But she used both resources thoroughly for about 3-4 months in advance of the test. She also went to another gov't. teacher's reviews that were great. We won't know the results till July, but she has to get a 4 for the college credit. As hard as she worked with these tools, I believe she will.

Shipping was on time and the cards were untouched but the 5 STEPS TO A 5 box was a bit broken with the lid having two corners broken leaving a flap open. Other then that the product is great in usefulness i give it a 9/10 but shipping 8/10.

The cards are in good condition and they are helpful for the review that we are doing in class. There are a lot of cards and it's kind of overwhelming however.

They are for my son. I have to make him use them.

excellent

A little too complicated and too many definitions to memorize.
