Hello, fellow APUSH students! It's almost time to start prepping for the AP exam, and I was wondering which review book(s) you'd recommend for success on the test. Would appreciate any and all suggestions!
Hey there! There are several APUSH review books out there, but here are a few that many students find helpful:
1. AMSCO's United States History: Preparing for the Advanced Placement Examination — This book is often praised for its comprehensiveness, practice questions, and easy-to-understand content explanations.
2. The Princeton Review's Cracking the AP U.S. History Exam — Known for its helpful test-taking strategies, this book breaks down key concepts and offers practice with useful drills and full-length exams.
3. Barron's AP United States History — Barron's offers a detailed review of the content, with practice tests and tips for approaching the different types of questions you'll see on the exam.
Remember that different books work better for different students, so consider flipping through them at a local bookstore or library to see which one resonates with you personally. In addition to using a review book, practice with past exams from the College Board's website and consider joining study groups or online forums like r/APUSH on Reddit, where you can exchange ideas and resources with fellow students.
Best of luck with your APUSH prep!
