Last month, I studied with rea ap us history crash course and got 600s.
I really want 800. I have kaplan ap us history book but it’s really thick and I have only 2 weeks left.
Any advice?
Either of these two are great, though the first one is probably more targeted for your needs:
- The Insider's SAT II US Hitsory Exam - Larry Krieger
- The Insider's Complete Guide to AP US History: The Essential Content - Larry Krieger
I used the second to study for the AP US History exam and the US History SAT II Subject Test at the same time. I received a 5 and 760, respectively.
Though the second book (I’m not sure about the first as I never used it) is not short, I was able to read it in about three days; it took about 8-10 hours to read with full concentration and the intention to memorize as much as possible.
The author is amazing, so I personally recommend you buy the first book. I’m sure it will be just as good of an experience as the one I had using the second book.
I did very well (790) with the AMSCO study guide and 5 steps to a 5. I took the SAT II test and AP U.S. History test through self study and having only taken Honors US History
