I currently have America’s History textbook along with Princeton’s Review book to help me study for the exam in May. I was wondering if I should try Amsco or other methods you have experienced that helped you get a 4 or 5 on the exam. I’m currently doing cornell notes for my daily reading but i find it inefficient so I was wondering what helped you. Also, if you have any advice for either preparing or during the exam will be greatly appreciated!! This is my first time taking an AP test and I want to be fully prepared. Thanks!!</p>
<p>Definitely get the APUSH Crash Course. I used a more extensive review book and ended up with a 4, but my friend used the Crash Course and got a 5. She had a very shallow understanding of the course before she went through that book. Since then I have used the Crash Course books to review for the majority of my AP exams, and I have gotten 5s on all of them. If you really understand everything in the Crash Course and are practicing writing timed essays you will do great!</p>
