<p>mysma, the op didn't even hint at fretting over the exam excessively, just wanted to know what a good prep book is..</p>
<p>I suggest REA, but then again I got nearly every company's book because I freaked out over the hype every upper class man was giving to the test....bunch of dummies they were, and evidently so am I :P</p>
<p>-off topic-</p>
<p>The only way you can get into ivies "full ride" is if you are poor. Financial aid at those schools has nothing to do with your academic resume. </p>
<p>Anyway, Viault and REA are quality prep books, but REA is hella long and detailed.</p>
<p>I swear by Peterson's AP European History review book. </p>
<p>Not too detailed, not too light, just right. And very well organized.</p>
<p>Hey I have some saved Euro Exams i will trade if you have any APUS history ones?</p>
<p>I used both Princeton Review and REA and got a 5. The REA was very detailed, but the tests were very hard. The PR was more thematic and tests were a bit easier, but more realistic. I used the PR book closer to the test than the REA</p>
<p>Anyone willing to send me some Euro Exams? I have nothing to trade for (this is my first AP), but I will give you a VERY big virtual hug :D</p>
<p>No. </p>
<p>Sorry.</p>
<p>If you're really hardcore about it, REA is the best. Even if you arent, if you can absorb 65% of whats in that book, you can get a 5. (I used REA to get a 5)</p>
