How to prepare for AP US History

For APUSH, is reading the Barron’s review book enough to get a 5? Or do I need to read the textbook?

Thank you!

The Barron’s book should be more than enough to get a 5. Just make sure that you know how to write an effective essay.

Barrons was plenty fine for me. Just go through the whole book and have general knowledge about everything. New multiple choice is so much easier, now just focus on short answers.
