<p>It's different at every school, but most schools use Myer's book for psychology and The American Pageant for history.</p>

<p>I used The Enduring Vision for history.</p>

<p>To the first question: no.</p>

<p>I have taken both of those classes, but I don't remember what books we used. I do know that we didn't use the book too much for US History (though I believe some do.) We did use it pretty extensively for Psych, but we also used some some supplemental stuff---a book on Freud, lots of articles, some primary materials. Though I think those were more for IB, and the textbook was for AP.</p>

<p>Enduring Vission for US His</p>

5

<p>We use America: A narrative history by George tindall and David Shi</p>

<p>thanks... any one know the one's used in Virginia?</p>

<p>psych = myer's</p>

<p>US hist. = American pageant </p>

<p>(it varies depending on the school........but these are popular)</p>

<p>but, if you have a really good teacher, you won't be using the text book much anyway.(in most cases)</p>
