Pass the AP U.S. Government and Politics
Most AP U.S. Government and Politics prep fills you up with more content. More chapters, more flashcards, more practice questions that look nothing like the real thing. You come out knowing a lot and still at risk of failing.
Built To Pass starts somewhere different. It teaches how the AP U.S. Government and Politics is actually built, so you stop losing points on material you already know.
To be clear, this is not a AP U.S. Government and Politics content course, and it is not trying to be. It teaches the strategy that sits on top of whatever you study. And you are not left to figure it out alone: inside the course you build your own AP U.S. Government and Politics study materials as you work through the assignments with your AI Test Coach, so everything you make is specific to your exam.

Game plan
Where the AP U.S. Government and Politics is won
Scout it before you study. The AP U.S. Government and Politics has 5 scored areas, and they are not weighted evenly. Interactions Among Branches of Government is the heaviest at about 30.4%, then Political Participation at 23.4%. That is where the test is won, so put your prep there first. American Political Ideologies and Beliefs is only about 12.4%, so it does not deserve equal time.
The AP U.S. Government and Politics is not pass or fail. You get a 1 to 5, and colleges decide for themselves what that score earns you, so the same 4 can be credit at one school and nothing at another. Look up the credit policy at the schools you actually care about, then prep to clear that number.
