AP US HIS Review Book: PR or REA?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

<p>I have two review books for USHIS: PR and REA.</p>

<p>about a month from the AP testing date.</p>

<p>I have 4 AP tests to take, and I went through the review books for Calc AB (Barron) and Chem (PR) (I need to review them again briefly before testing) (I am not bothering to review AP Lit except for the terms)</p>

<p>Should I use both PR and REA for USHIS? or choose one to focus on? if so, which one?</p>

2

<p>AMSCO. 5, done deal.</p>

<p>PR, i found that REA had too much useless information and very bad test questions. i used amsco to go over the material throughout the year and then used pr around april. its practice test questions are pretty similar to what was on the real exam and with practice i got a 5!</p>

4

<p>so I suppose I should use PR's practice test q's and by AMSCO</p>

5

<p>=( where do they sell it? at amazon, they sell it for 120, a used one... new ones are out of stock</p>

6

<p>i just bought my amsco for $28 from amazon.com :D</p>

<p>isn't the one from amsco site the same one? it says 2nd rev</p>

<p>for $16.50</p>

<p>someone reply plz =/ I'd like to order it today... if it's the right one. (link above)</p>

<p>REA for sure. Seriously. This saved so many people I know. Some of their questions suck, but the book covers most everything you need and is succinct about it.</p>

10

<p>I am pretty sure that is the one HS_2012 (just double check if the code here matches that of the catalog), cause another person recently bought it from the Amsco website for around $16 too. This wil be your main book, and then just buy any other book with practice tests--it really doesn't matter which, the AMSCO is going to get you the 5 anyways if you read it (not skim it) front to back.</p>

<p>Here, use this link: <a href="http://www.efastcom.com/AMSCOPUB/control/productdetails?&item_id=567656609%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.efastcom.com/AMSCOPUB/control/productdetails?&item_id=567656609&lt;/a> . This one is only $16.00, and it looks like the one I have.</p>

12

<p>567656602 (one I am in) vs 567656609 (other ppl)</p>

<p>I am not sure if it means they recently released 2nd rev.</p>

13

<p>well I tried that link but it says item is not valid (on order)</p>

14

<p>Oh, then I would just get the one from your link, it should be fine. Just don't wait too long, the AP's will be comin' at ya before you know it.</p>

15

<p>alright! thanks all for the replies =)</p>

16

<p>Buy AMSCO and you'll definitely get a 5.</p>

17

<p>I bought my AMSCO for $21 shipped from Amazon.com right after the new years. I absolutely love this book, but it should have more practice tests.</p>

18

<p>Amsco really helps. I bought one for $27, not including shipping from amazon.</p>

<p>on this site:
<a href="http://www.efastcom.com/AMSCOPUB/con...m_id=567656602%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.efastcom.com/AMSCOPUB/con...m_id=567656602&lt;/a>
it says the book is available on order
has anyone ordered it yet from this site yet?
how long does that mean the book will take to ship?</p>

<p>Question- I am not in an APUSH class (scheduling and whatnot) and am in a regular (no honors offered) American History Regents Course. If I read AMSCO and do practice tests and essays, would that be enough for a 5? Or should I borrow a textbook and read that too? Thanks so much!</p>
