<p>First off, I read through the course description, and this course sounds rather intriguing and relevant for someone that will be studying political science and economics (for those taking it/have taken it, please correct me if I’m incorrect here - these are just my initial impressions). Second off, is the exam generally difficult or rather easy (I skimmed through the practice questions and the test does not seem difficult)? And, thirdly, what books would one recommend for self-studying for this exam? Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Took APHG last year self-study b/c I wanted another AP test to get National AP Scholar.</p>
<p>Seriously, ludicrously easy. I bought two AP review books and studied for two weeks, took the test, and got a 5. If you’re well-educated and have examples from the headlines for the essays, you’ll do just fine. It’s mostly common sense (eg: What are causes of the organic revolution? hurp durp)</p>
<p>I used Barrons and REA. REA seemed to have too much info, but both good.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
