Customer Reviews

Good review for Writing Portion

First of all, let me just say that I took the 2006 ap test in May and got my results back with a 5!!!. So my helpful advice for the rest is that this book is the best review for the writing--dbq, changeovertime, comparative--sections of the Ap test. Nonetheless, the multiple choice review is strictly a review and the questions and practice tests in the back are slightly to very much easier than the actual AP test itself. So, do not just take a test and feel like you're prepared after scoring an 80-90%. Princeton review or Barron's would be a good complement to this book and give optimum results.

Great Book!

This book was excellent as a review source for the AP U.S. History test because of the innumerable facts and clearly formulated essay responses that were present on every page of this book. Truly a wonderful tool for studying, all important material is covered and each key term is fuly explained in depth with only the pertinent info included. Buy this book for the test, definetly better than Cliffsnotes.

Princeton Review or Kaplan

as a current AP U.S. History student, i was trying to find the best study guide for the corse. Is it Princeton Review or Kaplan. That's a tough question and they are both different but equally helpful. It really does't matter which you buy. If you like history put into a "story" then go for PR. but if you learn better with material broken up, then go for Kaplan.
