<p>Barron's, at least in my point of view, is horrible. It is filled with unnecessary information and only covers about 45% of the test content. For example, I studied the Barron's book front and back and then took the Environmental Science Exam 2007 Audit that our teacher gave, and I got a 64/100. I am now studying solely from the textbook which covers about 85% of the information. It is important to recognize that no textbook will be able to cover 100% of the material because Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary science. Therefore, I do not recommend Barron's at all. Moreover, their practice tests, which claim to be representative of the actual exam, are in fact, nothing like the actual exam. I have taken two previously released Collegeboard tests and the differences between the Collegeboard exams and the Barron's exams was huge.</p>
<p>I recommend a Smartypants and REA combination.</p>
<p>Modern European History is awesome!</p>
<p>Amazon.com:</a> Modern European History: Birdsall S. Viault: Books</p>
