Hey guys! I'm taking AP US History next semester, and I wanna get a head start on studying. Can anyone recommend the best textbooks or resources to use? Thanks in advance!
Hey! It's great that you're planning to get ahead on your AP US History studies! There are quite a few resources to consider, but two popular textbooks that people have found helpful are 'The American Pageant' by David M. Kennedy, Lizabeth Cohen, and Thomas A. Bailey, and 'America's History' by James A. Henretta, Rebecca Edwards, and Robert O. Self. Both books are comprehensive and will give you a solid foundation for the course.
Besides textbooks, you might want to use additional resources like College Board's official AP US History material. You can also look into joining an online forum or study group of AP US History students to share tips and engage in discussions around the subject matter.
Lastly, when it's time to review, don't forget to practice using past AP exam questions and invest in an AP US History review book to help you with exam strategies. Best of luck and happy studying!
