Super PACs are part of the AP Government exam so showing students some of the current ads (there are more conservative ones) and explaining Citizens United v. FEC.

It is an entirely free AP book complete with pictures and loads as quickly as others out there. It is put out by Flat Knowledge.

I think that the topic how to make testing less overwhelming is extremely important. When I see how stressed my children are while preparing for the tests, I feel so sorry for them. I know that they have to learn how to overcome difficulties and gain high aims but they are constantly overloaded and don`t have enough rest. I even decided to allow them getting best essay help online as I realize that their future career doesn`t depend on the results and the employers will not ask about it. All in all, personal characteristics are much more important nowadays and it is better to improve them.
