SL 400 and AP American Gov/Politics

[dkholland]

Has anyone used SL level 400 American Gov. to prepare for the American Gov/Politics AP exam??? My ds will be doing this SL level this fall and I would like him to have an AP course this year. Since he will be already studying it, I thought I would buy the prep book for that test and have him go through it along with his SL material. Will this work?? Is there anyone out there who has done this?

I am new to highschool and AP prep and really have no idea when to start. I assume you can look at what your subjects are for the year and see if there is an AP test that goes with that subject, right??
Thanks for any thoughts or experience you can share.

Spend some time on the AP section of the college board's website. They give outlines of what should be covered in each AP subject and spell out in excruciating detail the topics covered on each exam.

If you sign up as a teacher, you get access to recommended resources as well. It is a treasure-trove of information if you spend some time there.
