>> Don t buy it
I made the mistake of not reading reviews when I brought this After wasting 2 weeks trying to understand this I quit and bought the REA AP US History book That provided me with a thorough review of all the topics covered on the exam I got a 3 However if I had started that book earlier I am sure I would have gotten a 5 All Barron s does is tell you how to write essays It is complete crap
>> Great for Those Who Know Their Stuff
This is exactly what I would look for in a review book for AP US I feel that too many students are looking for quick fixes and one stop location for AP US History the essay the actual history the multiple choice Well there is no shortcut to learning history whether listening to lectures reading Brinkley taking notes from AMSCO No one can force you to learn all that history in a week or two especially not Barron s Let s face it if Barron s US History was like Barron s AP Chemistry would anyone sit through it I think I d go back to Brinkley
This review books concentrates on honing your essay and multiple choice skills while giving you a brief overview of each important era Moreover the timeline in the appendix is really dandy when you re trying to remember the order events
I RECOMMEND this book if you need to finetune your skills and need some extra practice This is book is NOT RECOMMENDED for those of you who use this as a last ditch effort Moreover those with a weak will heavy procrastinators should not buy this book It is helpful to brainstorm the FRQ s with your friends on a rainy day Write down what you brainstormed and then the week or so before you take the test look over the FRQs you guys did together It ll help jog your memory
There was a jarring typo on one page in a multiple choice about inventions Otherwise it was a great book
>> Great shipping BAD BOOK
The shipping and condition were great but the book itself not so much
I wanted an AP US book that gave me course material i e review chapters
but this book was a compilation of essays with NO COURSE REVIEW
i returned it because i didn t even use it after i flipped through the pages once
