AP Government is on the easier side of most AP classes. Just review the chapters, homework for me was about two hours a week, with a bit more studying for tests. Engage in the lectures and take copious notes and you will be fine. Also, engage in class, there are a lot of participation points to be earned just by engaging. Doing that I finished with a 95%.

Compared to other AP's, AP Gov Twomey teaches is on the easier side. You get test corrections on every test in the class. Overall, the structure of the class is relatively easy.
