yep jono is right another idea maybe to identify what part of the syllabus the question is from and then look it up in your textbook
textbooks are good depending on which one you got and your electives....
if its Law an dSociety/ Human Rights/ Crime - ie standard ones everyone does, textbook is fine, but for the electives, ask your teacher
plus - textbooks are often outdated - eg last year our textbook had USA, Aus, RUssia haven't signed Kyoto (global environment elective) but half way thru the year, Ruyssia signed so suddenly the role of Aus changed, the facts changed, international views changed... so keep in mind current situations when you're reading thru ur syllabus
