<p>What review book is best for AP US History -- Kaplans, Princeton Review, etc...?</p>
<p>I used REA--it's pretty detailed, but I skimmed most of it and focused on the areas I didn't remember that well. I thought the tests in the book were actually harder than the real AP test last year, but maybe that was just me. I got a 5, but I also had a great book/teacher. I heard Princeton Review's is good, too. Check the SAT/ACT/AP Test prep forum.</p>
<p>If you guys are using the Brinkley Text book this year, like i did last year (as a junior), then you need this site, a girl at my school made it, it saved me, i ended up with an A in the class and a 4 on the AP exam. Helps out with tests and the AP test, and DBQ's. It'll probably also help even if you aren't using Brinkley (the authors name btw)</p>
<p>wow! 100th post</p>
<p>I used the book by Amsco. It was extremely helpful and I got through the course only reading the reviewbook and got a 5 on the AP.</p>
<p>I'm taking APUSH now...I bought the book from Princeton Review and I have an awesome teacher.</p>
<p>REA is the best book.</p>
<p>the newman book</p>
<p>I'm with wbm777 on this one. Both sections of APUSH last year got the AMSCO review books and I used it all year. I stopped reading the chapters all the way through after the first few and I relied on the review book. It helped- I got a 5 on the AP exam.</p>
<p>Got a 3 on exam, and the highest gpa in that class. who knows, i studied using multiple practice tests given by my teacher.</p>
<p>I use Amsco.</p>
<p>Use REA. It helped me get a 5 on the test and an A in the class. It also comes with a cd that's really helpful</p>
<p>REA was the most helpful followed by Barrons.</p>
<p>REA + PR
REA has excellent info
PR has great tests
helped me get a 5</p>
<p>amsco is really awesome. I definitely, definitely recommend it.
PR I also like because it has key terms in bold and provides a more general overview.</p>
<p>5 Steps to a 5 is amazing. It's a new review book company but it's excellent and I highly recommend it.</p>
