<p>Are the practice tests reliable in the REA book?</p>
<p>i think they suck</p>
<p>I like the practice test. The questions seem very close to actual APUSH questions. I’m definitely going to go through all of the practice test and make sure I know all of the answers…</p>
<p>yeah REA info seems like its good because its the right length and covers a lot of material but, imo, it sucks. I read it last year for apush and it was wayy to general. Didn’t emphasize important points. Kind of glossed over american history as a whole. If you want a very long and covering everything review, go for barrons. But if you’re pressed for time, I would suggest princeton or kaplan or 5 steps to a 5. ACtually personally i think going to classwork and textbooks is more helpful, since you’re already kind of familiar with it. But yeah REA not a great idea if you need effective/efficient preparation.</p>
<p>the practice tests are ok. @<em>@ Lol i think the shape of the book makes them -</em>- uneappealing. I don’[t think MC practice tests for APUSH are that useful b/c there are so many types of questions/details they can test you on that the chances of your practice test covering things on the actual AP MC are slim. And its really hard to remember the right answer to every MC problem u get wrong :/. I would recommend focusing more on short answers + DBQ. But yeah REA not worth it.</p>
<p>REA is the worst test prep company of them all. Read the amazon reviews for any of their books…all 2 stars or less.</p>
<p>if REA sucks, then why is the majority of CCers recommending it or Amsco?</p>
<p>Ok, so now this is frustrating me… exactly spazattack! Then why would it be one of the most best recommended. Now that it’s the day before the actual exam i find out that the book I’m using really sucks. Thank goodness my teacher has provided us with the 4 of the past released mc…</p>
<p>^ REA doesn’t suck. Dr/owned probably doesn’t own the book (considering the fact that he is basing the quality of the book on Amazon Reviews).</p>
<p>REA doesn’t seem like the best read but it’s basically everything you need to know for the multiple choice. There’s not too much variance on the open-ended if you have the writing skills to organize DBQ’s/35 minute essays, so the content is really what you need, and REA is concise while still comprehensive.</p>
<p>Ugh, I hope REA practice tests aren’t accurate because I do horrible on them. They keep asking me about the ancestor of random native tribes, and I’m like ***?</p>
<p>I’m saying that every single REA books has gotten horrible reviews on Amazon so I don’t even touch them with a 10 foot pole. I go for Peterson’s, 5 Steps to a 5, and PR. Those companies are recommended by both students and ap teachers.</p>
<p>My former euro teacher who also teaches ush recommended REA for ush.</p>
<p>for us history rea is really good, it just sucks for everything else</p>
