5 Steps to a 5: World History

Test Preparation
1

<p>Is "5 Steps to a 5: World History" worth buying?</p>

2

<p>go with barrons</p>

3

<p>use barrons and petersons. Petersons practice tests are good and the charts help.</p>

4

<p>ryan, u are right.
Murrah, buy both. But, if you cannot afford to get two books, AP WORLD for barron's is good enough for at least a 4 in my experience</p>

5

<p>I would just be cautious for barrons because the practice tests are not accurate. Go to your local library and see if you can copy the practice tests out of the petersons book.</p>

6

<p>i dunno i was looking at that it it looked decent but id say only to use that as a supplement</p>

7

<p>I think the Barron's should be good enough unless you are fanatic and want to get the Peterson's for extra tests. (personally, all I used was Princeton Review and I got a 4)</p>

8

<p>you see i never checked out princeton but it is usually a good review book.</p>

<p>I got a 5 this year on WH,</p>

<p>I used 5 steps to a 5 and Princeton,</p>

<p>Use Princeton.. the teacher in 5fora5 teaches about things not on the test at all. Particularily about hawaiians.. rofl..</p>

<p>Princeton is really good.</p>

10

<p>I am buying four prep books this year for AP World History and I would like to know if there were any more that are good.</p>

<hr>

<ol>
<li>Cracking the AP World History Exam</li>
<li>Kaplan AP World History</li>
<li>Barron's How to Prepare for the AP World History Exam</li>
<li>Peterson's AP Success: World History</li>
</ol>

<p>Buy 5 for a 5 and Princeton and re-read them instead of buying four books.. its simply over kill... if I were to recomend a 3rd I would have to say get a study guide from someone who has already taken the test.. that helps for cramming 5 mins b4 the test.</p>

12

<p>barrons all the way... if you study seriously, you'll get your 5... i did</p>

13

<p>it seems everyone gets a 5 on world history and human geography.</p>

14

<p>ryan,</p>

<p>well, all the people on this website at least... doesnt seem everyone is so fortunate though... check the percentages on CB</p>

15

<p>Yeah you think you do well until you come on here lol.</p>

16

<p>lol... i've been thinking the same thing</p>

<p>my entire class didn't pass the AP WH test except my friend and I.. hilarious. We both recieved 5's.. everyone else 2's-1's.. :-X</p>
