>> Worth its Weight in Gold
I read the book in the weeks before the AP Exam last year and I got a 5 and history is definitely not best subject What else can I say this book is great I just hope the APUSH book is equally effective
>> Cracking the AP World History Exam 2010 Edition College Test Preparation
The item is fine the problem is The Seller TOOK a LONG LONG LONG TIME to process/mail the item Very inefficiency
>> A must buy for those who want a 5
My world history textbook was an absolute PAIN to read As a result I decided to purchase this book to supplement the overall experience for the class And it helped significantly
The book starts off with info about the AP World History WHAP test such as what to expect and how to answer questions The huge chunk in the middle is like a secondary textbook more on this later The last part of the book contains 2 AP full length tests in which I suggest you use one for a diagnostic and the second to test your skills
If a WORLD HISTORY book makes me actually enjoy reading it its obviously going to stick in my head better And that is the magic of this book Don t expect huge lengthy paragraphs on certain chapters rather information you will actually need for the test The book is sprinkled with some comical effects that make it much more easier to understand Also there are small information boxes that let you connect places to places the main focus point of WHAP
The tests are probably the closest to College Board AP style as you will see in a reference book Rather than asking for straight facts like some books I know Princeton s uses an analytical basis for its questions Furthermore there is an answer key at the end with explanations about the answers as well
Some flaws with the book include no primary resources and no example essays Though the book does give guidelines on how to write the essays it would be nicer to see actual ones along with commentaries The lack of primary resources isn t that significant but still noteworthy
Overall this is the BEST reference guide I ve used for a class in a LONG time If you want to make a 5 on your AP test this book should definitely be your TOP priority
