Self Studying AP Advice

Hi, I'm currently a sophomore taking AP US History. However, I'm also going to be self studying AP US Government and Politics as well as AP Psychology. So, I was wondering if you had any tips for self studying these topics. Also, would it be enough to use Barron's for each of these topics supplemented with the respective Crash Course? Or should I get a textbook? I will also be purchasing the book with 500 M.C. questions for AP US Gov. as well as Barron's flash cards for that. I'm not really buying more for Psychology because I heard Barron's is really good for that.

Thanks in advance

REA's US Government Crash Course for US Gov - if you're taking US History, it's not that much extra to study. Just be sure you know your vocab and such. (I self-studied US Gov while taking US History sophomore year; all I did was read it the book the day before and that was enough for a 5)

AP Psych was pretty easy to self-study, too. I read the Princeton Review book and took notes a couple weekends before the test my junior year and that was enough.

So Barrons and REA and MC Questions and Flash Cards is enough, I'd think, yes. Just make sure you're good with the vocab and you should be straight.
