Great Overview of Entire History Course

I recently took an AP US History course and bought this book on previous experience with the AP World History book (which I got a five in). This book is really handy because it internalizes the major eras of all the periods covered by the AP Exam. I found it particularly useful for the essay questions on the AP Test. However, I would discourage anyone from using this book if they are learning things from scratch without taking a history course. It's much better to take an accompanying US History course as this book tends to be more broad than others. Also, the "important" terms are bolded and indexed, making it extremely easy to search for specific terms in a period.

Cracking the AP U.S. History Exam, 2010 Edition

Awesome book to help prepare you for your AP test. This book is a must.

AP US history book

The book was in the condition expected and got here really fast. Had not problems

Good stuff

The book was well organized and planed out. It was a great study tool for me and has a nice review. I would use it to study a while before the test, not the day before. Good buy.

What a great review tool!

I used this book as I was preparing for the AP US History exam and it's definitely the best review book out there. I read through my friends' Kaplans and Petersons and they just don't compare. The review is thorough, but doesn't bog you down with too much information, and the practice questions are about as close as you can get to the real exam. Next year, I plan on taking three more AP exams, and I wouldn't trust any other book other than the Princeton Review.
