<p>I’m using: </p>
<p>REA (my main textbook) + REA’s CC
Modern European History
Princeton Review
and maybe Western Civilization</p>
<p>How about that?</p>
<p>Ehh… I used Western Civ and Modern European History. That’'s pretty much it. And I guess maybe the internet?</p>
<p>Okay here’s my final list:</p>
<p>REA
Modern European History
Princeton Review</p>
<p>That’s it. I have two other AP’s to do next year :D</p>
<p>bumpity bump bump</p>

That’s fine. Please never even consider getting more than 3 books for a silly AP test again!</p>
<p>I just got my scores back and I got a 4 which is alot better than me teacher told me he expected! And I just thought of another valuable resource, go online an look up the ap euro mothership. It’s a collected notes from all of the major textbooks that the ap test makers use. Very very helpful if you don’t have a textbook</p>
<p>My list modified again:</p>
<p>Western Civilization
REA’s Crash Course</p>
<p>That’s it.</p>
<p>Modern European History + AP Achiever + REA + Cliffnotes were the best prep books that I found, and I have every single prep book devoted to A.P. European History. o.0</p>
<p>I just used my world history textbook and the Princeton Review book…I got a 5 on the 2009 examination.</p>
<p>I would recommend James Burke’s “The Day The Universe Changed” and Simon Schama’s History of Britain documentaries. I had a lazy ap euro teacher and he would just have us watch these documentaries instead of teaching. Also Sister Wendy art documentaries are somewhat useful (and she is hilarious). I did no outside prep and got a 5 based only on these documentaries and in-class essay and mc practice. Probably not the best approach for learning the material, but I think alongside a review book or two (friends of mine recommend ap achiever and PR) you could quite easily prepare yourself using these documentaries.</p>
<p>Read textbook during year.
Do PR + Crash Course+ Do practice prompts for essays = 5.
DONE.</p>
<p>Do you guys take notes as you’re reading the textbook or do you just read?</p>
<p>I always took a few notes on areas I knew little about. (Especially anything French from 1815 to 1914!) My primary way of learning was simply to amass flashcards for any names/places/events. This helped me enormously on MC (practice tests went from 68-76 correct or so), which meant the essays wouldn’t need to be as great. (which they weren’t 
)</p>
<p>However, if you’re reading now for a test that will be in ~10 months, I’d strongly recommend that you take at least some notes that help you remember the framework for everything. (Something like: 5-10 lines for the ind. revolution - put a few years, remind yourself about Belgium and the UK’s role in it, a few inventors/inventions, link it with some things that preceded it - Agricultural revolution, for example)</p>
<p>I’ll probably use flashcards too. Yeah, I’ll probably start studying over the summer and continue throughout the school year. Notes would be a good idea to refresh my memory, especially with topics that I’m less familiar with. Thanks for the help! :)</p>
<p>Here is a great website with almost everything you need!</p>
