C-SPAN'S Cram for the Exam 2018

The tradition continues! Every year C-Span (Cable TV's version of public television, covering the proceedings of the federal government) holds a live show with 2 AP Gov teachers. The program works as a national Q & A session, with students from around the country calling in and asking the veteran teachers questions about the upcoming exam. It's great review, and functions a lot like our after school review sessions - happy viewing!

From C-SPAN:
High school government teachers Andrew Conneen and Daniel Larsen talked about the Advanced Placement United States Government and Politics Exam. They discussed the content and structure of the exam and previewed sample questions and what students should be studying. They also responded to telephone calls and electronic communications from high school students.

Crash Course Review

Below you will find a playlist of every crash course video on every topic covered in US Government & Politics. I think you will these videos an excellent review for the test.

HOWEVER, be advised that these videos do not "teach to the test" and condense a "huuuuge" amount of information into a short amount of time. Therefore, it is recommended that you view a video more than once in order for it to be useful as a study tool.
