<p>I just got the book and started studying today, and there really is a lot of information. I was wondering if it is necessary to look at the essay prompts and the documents given at the end of each chapter. How do you guys study with all the information?</p>
<p>is the REA book sufficient or do you also need the AMSCO book to get a 4 or 5 in the exam? D is in AP US History now.</p>
<p>The first time I went through AMSCO last semester when I took the AP US History course, I didn't read the additional information after each chapter, but now that I have not been in a US History course for many months, I am reading every bit I can get my hands on. Mind you, however, I read AMSCO before the January SAT Subject test without reading the additional essays and whatnot and got a 760. The AP exam is a little bit more comprehensive, though.</p>
<p>just reading the AMSCO gave you a 760 on the subject test? Wow, good for you. My D LOVES AMSCO. So does that mean the AP Multiple choice will be relatively easy for her? There is always agreement that the SAT II & AP in the same subject tend to have a overlap in material tested?</p>
<p>For the AP Hist exam tomorrow she is exclusively reading AMSCO.</p>
<p>She will be fine. AMSCO is really amazing.</p>
<p>except she should have started reading a month ago. she just started on Sunday seriously. If she doesn't get through reading AMSCO by tonight, she's going to review the Spark Notes charts and PRAY A LOT for tomorrow!</p>
<p>So i take it from your amazing score that the SAT II questions were similar to the AMSCO MC questions?</p>
<p>Since this morning ( she did not go to school ) my D is reading AMSCO and she just started seriously yesterday !!! too little time for an 600 pages book ! But she usually has a good memory... so, why not? 50% chance she will get a 5 !</p>
