<p>my friend needs a good ap us history prep book but there isn't enough time to order AMSCO online now. Are Barrons/Princeton/REA sufficient enough? Which would be the best?</p>
<p>If you can't get AMSCO, get REA.</p>
<p>Not enough time? May is months away.</p>
<p>You can't use a test prep book to study for a teacher-assigned test. It's just not in-depth enough.</p>
<p>Actually, i don't even use my textbook in class, AMSCO is usually more than enough.</p>
<p>What is "AMSCO"? Sorry for sounding like a dolt!!!</p>
<p>BTW, d has already used Princeton and likes it. She is lucky. Her teacher can be a jerk, but has one of the highest rates of 4 & 5 scores among all his students in our state each year. Some of the students get a "C" in the class, but are very prepared in May for the exam............</p>
<p>REA is the best</p>
<p>AMSCO-
Amazon.com:</a> United States History: Preparing for the Advanced Placement Examination: John J. Newman: Books</p>
<p>One of the best books written for APUSH</p>
<p>But yeah, I recommend REA if you're looking for another book.</p>

<p>It's for his final next week...
And the final uses AP-esque questions.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the replies.</p>
<p>I'd recommend looking for AMSCO at local bookstores and such. It's really the best.</p>
<p>I've heard good things about Barron's though.</p>
<p>REA. Definitely more concise than AMSCO/Barrons (avoid Barrons at all costs), but better than PR.</p>
<p>I second REA. Although it might not be as detailed as Amsco, the questions at the end of the section really do help a lot. They provide more perspective for the E-M Questions.</p>
