We called it the AP Euro Bible. </p>

<p>However, I wouldn't recommend Euro to anybody for independent study. Of the six APs I've had/am currently in, European History was the most extensive (with the possible exception of Chemistry).</p>

<p>I'm a Cliff's and Spark fan...but Others are also good, like REA's.
I agree with Hamster, I've heard that Euro History is something that has a lot to know. </p>

<p>Human Geo and Psych can't be that hard. Not sure about govt.</p>

<p>Does anyone know which of the 3 histories is easiest to self-study?</p>

<p>Psychology is easy. If you were really serious about it, you could probably go through a prep book in a few days and do perfectly fine. I'm wishing now that I hadn't wasted a period on it.</p>

<p>GreatAmericanStud- The only one I've taken was World, and that was pretty easy to self-study for, because you don't really need to know all sorts of specifics- you just need a broad knowledge of themes. I don't know how it compares to US or Euro, though.</p>

<p>Sorry to hijack the thread,But can somebody help me out as well for prep books for the following subjects??</p>

<p>Calculus BC
Physics C
Macroeconomics and Microeconomics</p>

<p>World History is very easy because you just must know themes, the DBQ is easy, and you are competing mostly against sophmores. US History is very fact-based, and it is a more difficult test in my opinion. But....Many colleges don't give as many hours for World as they do for US, and many times US is required and WH is not reguired...and it may not fit into anything. I got a 5 on the WH and I may not be able to use it :(</p>
