2012 AP EURO Review Book?

Test Preparation AP History & Social Sciences
1

So, ‘THE EXAM’ is coming up on us. I’m sure a lot of you have already started preparing (right?)… I know talk has been put up about best review books (Princeton + Viault + Crash Course)…I’m wondering if Princeton is the best one, though? My teacher gave each of us AP ACHIEVER (McGraw Hill) which seems very good. I’m trying to figure out which one to use…I compared both of the books information on the Renaissance and they both highlighted different aspects of the period. Princeton on general trends while AP Achiever went into detail about people more…</p>

While I would love to be able to use both, I don’t think I’ll have time. I also plan to use the main review book as my main source, try to use Crash Course right before the test, and I doubt I will be able to use Viault…</p>

SO: Which is better: Princeton or AP Achiever
AND: When/what are you all using to study? Thanks!</p>

I’m using Princeton (haha, cramming with Princeton would be the better word) , and as someone who took U.S. History Exam last year and earned a 5, I can say that ALL history APs focuses on general trends in history more than specific, specific people. They WILL test names and events, but not ridiculously, and the most important things on these history exams are THEMES and TRENDS in history. </p>

For history exams, Princeton is very helpful because it does talk about general themes and trends more than the others while still covering the needed information. That’s why for Euro, I chose Princeton. Whatever you chose, good luck … I hope we both do well … It’s in less than two weeks … EEK. :)</p>
