<p>I'm in honors in my school. I plan on self-studying for the APUSH test, though.
Which book is better - REA or Amsco? I can't find any Amsco books for under $105, while REA is only $20. What do you guys think, is Amsco much better than REA?</p>

<p>Is this the Amsco book you're looking for?</p>

<p>The review in REA was horrible. The problem--it wasn't review. It was essentially an entire history book shrunk into a smaller font without the pictures. This being said, however, I would still go with REA because of the incredible tests they include.</p>

<p>When I took the test (5), some of the questions were literally worded almost identically. The practice and knowledge I gained from their tests is worth the price of the book, easily.</p>

<p>AMSCO is a better review, but you need to spend more time with it for it to be more effective than REA. REA is a nice survey, some big mistakes tho. I recommend AMSCO.</p>

<p>I recommed AMSCO because it appears to be very consecise and the questions appear to be similar to what would appear on an AP Exam.</p>

<p>im probably getting both.</p>

<p>AMSCO was pretty good for me last year. The only real studying I did for the AP was reading all of AMSCO in the three days before the test and I got a 4.</p>

<p>I've used both before and I found AMSCO to be the better one.</p>
