<p>Here’s a consolidated list of review books that have worked for countless people. Hopefully it should help you too. I personally didn’t like Essential Concepts. I thought AMSCO helped me a lot more. Just my personal opinion. Best of luck.</p>
<p>i got a 5 woooo</p>
<p>I thought Euro was a lot easier. The content is a lot more interesting and more general than APUSH topics.<br>
I studied a ton for APUSH, and got a 4. For Euro I only studied that morning and got a 5. Probably because I retain information that I am interested in, so think about what interests you!</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>So you’ve used the book and still don’t even know the title of the book? </p>
<p>Are you slamming The Essential Content just to promote AMSCO :rolleyes:?</p>
<p>Hey! I am also self-studying euro. I have purchased Modern European History and Crash Course. Both seem like great books. I will also use online powerpoints and youtube documentaries when I get lazy. I will probably buy PR before the test for some extra prep and practice tests. I self-studied both ap econs this year as a freshman. I used 5 Steps, PR, and online videos and cram guides. Read 5 Steps a few times, PR once for quick review(took me about an hour), and then use ACDCLeadership’s videos and study guide on youtube. That was the best stuff. Then take a ton of practice tests. I self-studied it in one week. I hopefully got a 5 on both, but could have gotten a 4 on micro. Doing the above stuff should give u easy 5s. I am also self-studying world history this year. Any tips? I have the crash course book.</p>
<p>@ IceQube: Sorry, I did mean Essential Content. And no, I am not “slamming” the book; I believe I said I personally found AMSCO more useful. It was only my opinion, not an end all be all bashing case you made for AMSCO. I never called Essential Content “trash”.</p>
<p>I’m throwing in another recommendation for AMSCO. Although, as IceQube implies, it can be a bit long-winded, it teaches you much more than you need to know, so if you have a good memory, the test becomes very easy, as you can start pulling out facts that not many people would be able to.</p>
<p>I would recommend Modern European History for Euro.</p>
