AP World: Barron’s</p>
anyone have suggestions for ap hugs??</p>
AP US History: Direct Hits - US History in a Flash.
AP Psych - Barron’s and / or Barron’s flashcards.</p>
For AP World, I used both the PR book and the Barron’s cards, and I found the cards to be more accessible (you can review in your room or at a bus stop, with short bursts of information). I think the PR book gives the reader a summarized overview that thematically ties the history together, whereas Barron’s cards keep you up to snuff on the deets. If you use one, use Barron’s because it fills in the cracks of textbook. If you can, use both. Barron’s will virtually ensure passage, but both will virtually ensure a 5.</p>
AP World:</p>
Content- Princeton Review
Not Barron’s (okay) or 5 steps to a 5 (bad). The little time I spent with Kaplan made it seem like a good book, but all I can really comment on is their practice tests…</p>
Practice test accuracy (first is most accurate; the rest get harder):</p>
<ol>
<li>Kaplan</li>
<li>Barron’s</li>
<li>5 Steps to a 5</li>
<li>Princeton review</li>
</ol>
DEFINITELY Princeton for Euro. Had a teacher who didn’t teach a thing in class, and I barely cracked open the textbook. But I read through PR in about three weeks and got a 5. Some of the practice questions in PR even showed up verbatim on the 2010 test.</p>
Had the same teacher for WHAP as well, so I will recommend PR for that test, too. But I actually read the textbook (bought my own copy of world civilizations just so I could write in it) so I don’t know if you could get a 5 on WHAP just by reading PR.</p>
edit: left out a comma</p>
APUSH: Absolutely Direct Hits and if you want, Crash Course just to supplement it and absolutely AMSCO for clarifications. you really don’t need any more books and do not get kaplan. I absolutely hated that book (sorry) but some other good ones (but not the best) would be 5 steps to a 5, PR, or REA. And for the flashcards, i bought a set and i never used it. I’m kinda a flashcard person but i think direct hits made the flashcards unecessary. GOOD LUCK :)</p>
APUSH-AMSCO and Crash Course combo
AP Psych-Barrons
AP Enviro.-Princeton (it was okay, not the best)</p>
AP Human Geography-The Princeton Review along with Kaplan flashcards.</p>
AP Art History - Barron’s and The Annotated Mona Lisa by Carol Strickland. The Annotated Mona Lisa isn’t a review book for any exam, but it’s a crash course of Art History from prehistoric to now that’s actually REALLY compelling to read. I answered questions on the exam and was quoting sections of the book in my head while doing so. </p>
AP Euro - I used Barron’s. It was pretty good.</p>
I’m taking APUSH this year and I can only buy one review book. (I’m taking 5 AP’s and don’t have the money to buy more than one book for each class, haha.) I want a book that will help me not only pass the exam, but also help me pass the class. From that viewpoint, what book do you think I should get?</p>
What’s the latest edition of crash course you can get for ap us govt</p>
Bummp answer someone please</p>
not really any opinions on AP Human Geography??? Also why is AMSCO so expensive on Amazon?</p>
For APUSH, I would definitely use the REA Crash Course</p>
My biased advise on AP Human Geography (APHG or APHug [insert emoticon here]:</p>
Buy two books: Princeton Review and Kaplan. Why? 1) The authors are actually scoring supervisors at the AP reading sesions where your tests are scored. They know there stuff about this test. 2) Kaplan provides the best and most complete content material, while PR has the best test strategy sections. 3)Both have good quality practice tests. 4) Both are fine to use 2009-2011 version. However The updated 2012 Kaplan should instruct you that the old guessing penalty is gone–so fill-in a dot for every question. PR although not updated has smaller, efficient content sections and the best essay training tools of any APHG prep book.</p>
For macro/micro econ, Reffonomics [Untitled</a> Document](<a href=“http://reffonomics.com/reff/index.html]Untitled”>Untitled) and 5 Steps to a 5 are all you need. The people who wrote the content of Reffonomics actually developed the test.</p>
so im taking ap euro test in may. should i get these 3 books: PR, kaplan, barrons. or just get 1?</p>
My teacher recommended to register at: <a href=“http://www.apexamreview.com%5B/url%5D”>www.apexamreview.com</a></p>
It has simulation exams, a bunch of outlines, essay guide etc. Pretty helpful. Makes it easy to study for the exam.</p>
