<p>Which prep book did you use, how long did you study, and what do you think your score will be? </p>
<p>Do you recommend the one you used? Why or why not? Please be specific. Thanks!</p>
<p>PR....hours and hours....i have no idea</p>
<p>highly recommend it. brief enough, but covered everything i needed!</p>
<p>PR for me.</p>
<p>Started studying the night before.</p>
<p>I aced it:)</p>
<p>Barrons
it went pretty well actually i feel pretty good about it.</p>
<p>I had the chance to use both Barrons (mine) and Princeton Review (teacher's) this year. Barrons was over-sufficient for this year because the AP exam was so easy. However, the Princeton Review prepares you for a much harder test. I would choose Princeton Review, as it's better to be over-prepared.</p>
<p>I just spent like 3 hours, mainly doing the MC quizzes they have after each chapter and at the end. Usually, I'm never confident about my scores, especially for AP exams, but this exam, I know I got a 5.</p>
<p>I bought the Barrons SAT II book a while ago but haven't done much studying. I didn't even bother with actually buying an AP book. My friend has an AP review book and I took a practice test from him, getting 67/70 correct. I just retained all the knowledge from 9th grade Global class and I'm naturally a good test-taker. Also I didn't take the class, so this seems pretty sloppy, nevertheless, I think I did well.</p>
<p>I used the Princeton review and then read 5 steps to 5 the night before... all of it, and I do think the PR tests were harder then the real one. I won't say anything but was it just me or were the prompts easier than others you have done/practiced/saw</p>
<p>i didn't study that much for the test actually. just reading Stern's entire book i think helped enough. i did a little reading in the "5 Steps to a 5" World History book, just to review Chapters and take Chapter quizzes near the exam. The best thing to do is just to critically read Stern's book (the one the AP History Curriculum is based off of) and take notes.</p>
