Prepping for US History

<p>I have till Nov 3 to prep and I was wondering the best way to get prepped for 720ish</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

2

<p>The For Dummies book is amazing. I'd also recommend <a href="http://www.sparknotes.com%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.sparknotes.com&lt;/a> for quick review.</p>

3

<p>if you already took apush, reread amsco.</p>

4

<p>will reading the entire sparknotes site plus listening to the Krieger podcasts get me 720+?</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>I haven't got my scores back, but I'm positive I broke 720. I've never taken a US History class before, so I learned everything using only the SparkNotes and a test prep book (I think the Barron's, but I'm not sure).</p>

6

<p>barron's flash cards... definitely</p>

7

<p>I have been studying Baron's US History by myself AND AP US History book with CD from REA (this AP book is really good-im taking on Nov, too)</p>

8

<p>AMSCO, AMSCO, AMSCO.</p>

<p>I swear by AMSCO. I had a joke of a US teacher, but I managed a 760 and a 5 on the AP test thanks to AMSCO.</p>

<p>Absolutely tdn -- AMSCO is the way to go. If you can't get your hands on a copy of that wonderful work on US History, I would strongly suggest <a href="http://www.course-notes.org%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.course-notes.org&lt;/a>. Those two combined (course-notes.org has 100+ practice quizzes) will be all you need.</p>

<p>What is this AMSCO book? Can someone give me a link? I took US History sophmore year, and I don't remember much. What are other good prep books... PR, Kaplan, Barron's?</p>

11

<p>i like pr.</p>

12

<p>i never took american history in my life and never lived for more than two months in the states but i studied from kaplan and pulled a 720. it's pretty good. it covers a lot of the details. but yeah, i hear AMSCO is the way to go. i couldn't get my hands on it though.</p>

13

<p>i totally agree with tdn
AMSCO all the way!
it gave me a 5 on ap us history wen i was half asleep all history class cuz my teacher was so boring i knew nothing bout history before i read it then i knew everything for the test well now i don't remember nething haha</p>

<p>I agree that AMSCO is great both for AP and SAT.</p>
