Hello to all, I’m considering self-study for AP Euro.</p>
However, this thread is made to inform all of the main, big thread. <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/1342061-big-self-study-initiative-multiple-aps.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/1342061-big-self-study-initiative-multiple-aps.html</a></p>
<p>Crash Course + Barrons/PR/5 Steps and you are set =)</p>
<p>Buy this textbook: Western Civilization by Jackson Spievogel
Buy this review book: Barron’s AP European History</p>
<p>Read through the textbook starting from the Renaissance and finish it up in March-April and then use your remaining time to go through the review book and summarize chapters and take practice multiple choice/frqs.</p>
<p>I self-studied it this year, so we’ll see how well I did. If you took AP World or AP US, writing the frqs should be easy (you’ll just need to learn facts to put in the essays). I definitely think having good writing skills down prior is a must to self-studying this exam.</p>
<p>^Do Barrons but DO NOT BUY THE TEXTBOOK. Buying the textbook is completely pointless you are good studying one two (at most) review books. Trust me I have self-studied AP Human Geo and Euro and gotten a 5 on both w/ only the Barrons book.</p>
<p>How good would REA’s Crash course + “Modern European History” [Amazon.com:</a> Modern European History (9780070674530): Birdsall Viault: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/Modern-European-History-Birdsall-Viault/dp/0070674531]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/Modern-European-History-Birdsall-Viault/dp/0070674531) be?</p>
<p>Modern European Hist gets good reviews and I’m sure it is but I bought it and never used it because it was in similiar format to crash course just more dense and less readable lol. Although I am sure both would suffice but neither have practice tests which are very useful. So I would suggest Barrons and crash course or barrons and MEH by birdsall viault</p>
<p>Also, if your school has an AP Euro class, consider borrowing review materials from the teacher if he/she is willing to help you Self-Study.</p>
<p>Princeton Review for the win! Barrons is too complicated X.X</p>
