A detailed overview of European history from 1450 to the present highlights this volume which serves as an ideal supplement to the year-long AP courses offered in school. This description may be from another edition of this product.
I had 4 Euro books. REA, Arco, Princeton, and Barron's.All four had their strong points. I'll list those:ArcoA great review book. Has a concise and quick review. The timelines at the end of each chapter are great to get the idea of when everything occurred. The test were real good too.PrincetonIf only getting one book, this would probably be the one. Longer reviews than Arco but shorter than REA. Bolds keywords which is really good. This book probably had the best questions matching the test.REAThis book has a lot of information. Longest and most detailed by far. It is like a textbook. It has six tests. The tests are almost all fact based. It is a very good book. THis book and Arco are good counterparts.Barron'sIt only has one review. The reviews aren't very lengthy. Only good thing about this book is that it has questions about each section after the chapters. It helps with the class preparing for specific tests. Only advantage this book has over the others.
Decent for AP Euro Review

This is a fairly good book, although I didn't think so on first looking at it. I bought it having done little research into my other options (e.g., Princeton Review, Cliffs AP, etc.), and I discarded it soon after buying it.However, I picked it up again a couple weeks before the AP exam to review (I had also since bought two other AP Euro books, Princeton Review's and Cliffs AP's; I recommend the latter, but not the former) and discovered that it's actually a very good book. I especially liked the practice tests, which seemed very authentic to me (I just glanced at the free-response questions) and the auxiliary material, such as a list of historical movies.
