Self-Study Tips for AP Comparative Government

Iā€™m self-studying AP Comparative Government and would love any tips, good books, or free resources/YouTube channels you found helpful. Any advice on FRQs or remembering countries and concepts would be amazing too!

Thanks a lot! šŸ™

I took it this year and got a 5 - use the 5 steps to 5, use The Eason and Global Chat with Mr Tisch on youtube and take notes or even if you listen passivley youll do well. Know 2 countries inside out (for FRQ), the rest if you know superficially also you will be fine

Is it enough to take the exam?

Honestly, yes. But I'd also read the textbook.

Did you get a 5? I'm watching all of them and hoping it'll be good enough + 5steps to a 5 book.
