Prep guide for AP US History

<p>I have Barron's already, but I feel like it doesn't cover the history facts themselves too well. Are there any better suggestions?</p>

<p>Amsco is the best overall in my opinion, then comes REA.</p>

<p>I just bought the AMSCO APUSH prep book used from Amazon. I'll tell you if it really helps me(on class tests/DBQ's), since I usually get C's or D's on the class tests :(</p>

<p>AMSCO!!!! Everyone uses it. Buy it. Read it. Highlight it. Study it. Love it.
You will do well.</p>

<p>I have PR, Kaplan, and Barron's. </p>

<p>I'd rate it like this: Kaplan > PR > Barron's, but all of them are great. I didn't buy Amsco. My mom gets a teacher's discount at Books A Million, and they don't have amsco.</p>

<p>so I'm seeing that the general consensus is: AMSCO > all
hehe.</p>

<p>AMSCO is good but it would help if they have you the answers to the multiple choice questions!!!</p>

<p>I can't find the link but a little while ago there was a link to all the AMSCO answers. So just search the forum.</p>

<p>They don't give you the answers? What the...</p>

<p>PR is the best, i self studied world last yr in 2 wks and PR at least got me a 4, which is not great, but I lived</p>

<p>Thanks eveyone! I appreciate the feedback, and I just ordered AMSCO last week from Amazon, so it should be arriving pretty soon.</p>

<p>From amazon? What was the link? I looked at amazon and it seemed all they had was used copies. I had to buy mine frm Half.com lol.</p>
