<p>Is the Barrons AP US review book better than the princeton review AP US review book? Cuz I have the Princeton review book right now and was asking if I should spend more money...</p>
<p>I have both, and I prefer to study from Princeton Review.</p>
<p>Barrons Is horrible...the only thing I thought useful was the essay help. For APUSH review look at Kaplan and REA's. Princeton review is not bad either.</p>
<p>AMSCO>REA>PR>Kaplan>Barron Personal experience.</p>
<p>do they sell AMSCO AP US review book at stores like barnes and nobles?</p>
<p>Yes, but I don't see why you need multiple review books.</p>
<p>I do hear a lot of good things about AMSCO and REA for APUSH though.
I personally used Kaplan and thought it was wonderful.</p>
<p>yea, AMSCO is the best one out there. Im usin it for self study and for review. You can still get books from borders but it will have to be from different sellers.</p>
<p>I got Amsco at the begining of the year, and never opened it. I used the textbook. I recently purchased Princetons book, and scanning the chapter summaries, and using Amsco to supplement that, to sharpen the finer details not given. Princeton stuff won't get you a five, but it will give you the tips and strategies to achieve, got to do outside stuff besides doing prep books.I alsodo an outline for every era that was important, master set of vocabulary words with date. </p>
