<p>Well, I recently used the AP US History Review Book by REA and noticed it is so much harder than the actual thing! I used Kaplan, Fast Track To A 5, and REA, and noticed REA was a lot harder than those, and much harder than the Real AP US History test I took last week.
Today I took the REA SAT Chemistry Subject test and notice it was quite a bit harder than the released Chemistry Subject test.. </p>
<p>What are your experiences with REA Practice books?</p>
<p>I used the USH one to prepare for the AP USH, and noticed that it was harder as well, but I believe it is designed that way in order to promote a fuller understanding of the subject matter so that the reader is prepared for anything.</p>
<p>i personally used Princton although i had that fast track book, and also i believe amco, but who cares what you used nowe the exam is over, unless your taking the late testing, are you?
I thought the exam was easier that i thought i think i got either a 3 or a 4 (not a 5, no way), DBQ was pretty easy (i thought 2 was probably hardest because i had little to right, although i was really angry with myself for forgeting some general stuff about the rebellion</p>
<p>I'm just asking about REA Practice books in general. Their tests seem harder than even Barron's practice books.</p>
<p>which review company do you guys think is generally the best? after this year ill have taken 4 ap tests and ive used princeton for all of them. would i be better off with one of the others--barrons, kaplan, REA, amsco, or another company?</p>
<p>Is fast track to a 5 or amsco better for ap us history?</p>
<p>Well, if your school uses The American Pageant, fast tack to a 5 is pretty good if you don't have that much time to study. Amsco is great if you have plenty of time to study.</p>
<p>i also had the amco book not amsco book but i didnt use it much it was more of a general overbview plus it states "everything you need for the constitution you need for the test" on the cover, but was there even a question on the constitution??? LOL</p>
<p>Amsco is the best for US History -- that's really all you need to prepare for any school exam or the AP</p>
