AP Achiever for World History book? (Sufficient for self-study without text?)

<p>Hey peeps!</p>

<ul>
<li><p>Currently I have these books for World History: Barron's, AP Achiever, Peterson's, 5 steps to a 5, and I'm wondering between these 4 books, which one is best for self studying?</p></li>
<li><p>The AP Achiever book says it can be used independently without text but I'm wary that the knowledge gathered from the book alone may not be sufficient for the essay portion of the test. Anyone who has experience using the book, mind providing your opinions (if this alone is sufficient)?</p></li>
<li><p>My current plan is to skim through the Barron's book and then the AP Achiever book, while putting away 5 steps and Petersons.
Anyone thinks its a good idea or has a better suggestion? (I have 12 days to prepare without any prior class/knowledge of World History)</p></li>
</ul>

<p>Thank you for your help!</p>

<p>I would try to READ one of them (e.g. Barron’s) as much as possible. Take all of the practice tests out of all of those books that you have, and see how you will do.</p>

<p>Skimming one of them, or even all of them, won’t do any good. You don’t learn by skimming. Especially in 12 days.</p>
