<p>I am self-studying for AP Euro. Any recommendations on text books, study guides, web resources? Any advice on how to prepare for it? Thanks.</p>
<p>1) Crash Course for AP Euro (amazing)
2) Crash Course for AP Euro (kicked ass on the M/C section)
3) Crash Course for AP Euro (only 2 questions that were not answered by CC)
4) Princeton Review for AP Euro (to get a general overview of European history)
5) Practice with actual AP Euro FRQs ([AP:</a> European History](<a href=“College Board - SAT, AP, College Search and Admission Tools”>AP European History Exam – AP Students | College Board))
6) Earn a 5 on test-day.</p>
<p>Thanks so much. What text book did you use for your AP Euro course?</p>
<p>^Western Civ. by Spielvogel. I loved it :).</p>
<p>I picked up a whole bunch of review books at a library sale. </p>
<p>Princeton review has been most helpful, I also have Barron’s (useful) and CliffNotes (has many example tests). </p>
<p>Our textbook is Western Civilization by Spielvogel and supplemental readings in Europe: A history by Norman Davies.</p>
<p>Modern European History = Bible of AP Euro.</p>
<p>Selfed it last year in about a month, and used two books. First, *A History of the Modern World *, by Palmer, Colton, and Kramer. The second, a review book - Crash Course for AP European History. With those two together, I managed an easy 5.</p>
<p>A History of the Modern World (RR Palmer) is a really great textbook to use (my favorite textbook I’ve ever used since it’s written for adults and I’m so sick of books written for high schoolers at this point), though if you’re self-studying, the test guides might be enough, depending on how much in depth you want to know the material. I would suggest starting out with some basic test guides, seeing how well you do on the practice tests, and then looking into textbooks if you think you need to go over the information at a deeper level.</p>

<p>I had a copy of that book, and I used it in conjunction with Western Civ., but I soon realized that A History of the Modern World is just complete overkill for Euro. As much as I enjoyed history - I just didn’t have the motivation or time to read a rather lengthy but scholarly textbook.</p>
