<p>guys say if you just read amscho and REA at all will you have a 100% chance of getting the 5 on the exam or does REA have somethings that AMsco doesn't that is essential.</p>
<p>I also have PR, Petersons, barrons, amscho, and rea which one book can give me all i need so i don't need the rest??</p>
<p>Can Amsco be enough for the whole test mulitple choice dbq's and essay's?????????????</p>
<p>you should be fine just reading aasmco.. my friends all just read that and they got 5's. The book does an excellent job in outline the mainpoints and key terms from the era. Know those and you should be set. Practice. And a 5 is in your near future!</p>
<p>bump anyone else</p>
<p>I'm using Aamsco, and it's basically my teacher's bible. =)</p>
<p>AMSCO's the best book of all the one's you named. I reviewed w/ AMSCO and got a 5. I highly recommend it. And since you have REA (which contains a rather brief review of U.S. history) you might as well read through that one a few nights before the exam (to keep the knowledge fresh in your mind). And don't limit yourself to just one book. Yeah, it may not be feasible to read them all at this point, BUT, you certainly don't have to overlook the rest. Read whatever chapters you would like to cover in depth in AMSCO (e.g. anything your class may not have covered due to time constraints, or time periods that you find you are having trouble with), do ALL of the end-of-the-chapter multiple choice questions in AMSCO, skim through REA's review nights before, and do practice m.c. questions from all of your other books!! It's best to consult the explanation sections in your review books. REA has 6 really good practice tests. You may want to focus some effort on completing 2 whole exams. As for the other 4 tests, you can use them for m.c. review (though informal, i.e. not timed or anything). If you have a second, check out the quizzes on: <a href="http://www.historyteacher.net/USQuizMainPage.htm%5B/url%5D">http://www.historyteacher.net/USQuizMainPage.htm</a>
Take the quizzes on the time periods you're weakest in and study the correct answers.
For essay practice, make an account on AP Central: <a href="http://www.apcentral.collegeboard.com/%5B/url%5D">http://www.apcentral.collegeboard.com/</a> (if you don't already have one), and read all of the past years' AP USH FRQs. You really should look into considering what the highest scoring essays did right and learning how to apply that in your own historical analyses. If you follow my advice, you'll be on the right path for a 5, as long as you put in the effort! Please realize that NO REVIEW BOOK EVER OFFERS YOU A 100% CHANCE AT SCORING A 5! So use as many other resources as you can! Good luck! If you need any more advice, feel free to PM me! Later.</p>
