I need review books for APUSH and AP Euro. I plan on the SATII for USH.</p>
I need a book to get me a good score on both USH tests and for Euro.</p>
I hope to spend as little money as possible. And how should I prepare for these classes over summer? Thanks</p>
<p>Just take your class at school. It’s honestly not hard to do well on those tests or do well in those classes. Do not get your jimmies rustled a year in advance.</p>
<p>Read your textbook, the whole thing. I liked “The American Pageant.” There are plenty of other good ones, however, like “Out of Many.” Reading your textbook is the best way to internalize everything. Get ready to read a lot. As long as you stay on top of reading and writing, it’s not hard to keep up in class.</p>
<p>Worry about review books as the exam gets closer (March-April). Those help you brush up on topics you are uncomfortable/unfamiliar with; they aren’t good ways to actually understand for yourself history. Personally, I used the Princeton Review and Barron’s as the test got closer; PR for test strategies and approaches, Barron’s for a quick topical review and practice exams.</p>
<p>Take the classes at school if you can; I have found that a good teacher is the best preparation. Honestly, studying for these exams could be a horrible process if you decide to be a perfectionist. On the history exams more than any others, you really need to remember that you’re not expected to know everything. </p>
<p>I used the Princeton Review for Euro, and I thought it helped solely as a review of things I already knew. I didn’t use a prep book for APUSH.</p>

<p>The Essential Content. This is all you need for the AP and SAT II.</p>
<p>I agree with everyone else. Just relax for the summer. When it comes time for the school year to start up, pay close attention in class and you’ll do just fine.</p>
