AP European History Exam was a booger, this book helped

I took AP European History over the '06-'07 school year. It's a good class to take. Now, European History is so broad that it is one of the hardest histories for people to understand.

Use this book to review for your AP exam at least a month in advance.
- I did not start early. This book is great if you have enough time to digest the contents. If you are starting late, get the Cracking the AP European History Exam, 2006-2007 Edition (College Test Prep) instead.
- Use this book throughout the school year. It would have been amazing to have when I was reviewing for test. It has great charts and graphs. There are also review checks after the end of each section.

*Also note, one of the reasons that I gave this book a four was because of minor inaccuracies.

Great for AP

the book was is great condition and was very helpful for the AP exam

CLIFFS=5

I used this book as my main study guide for the AP European history test in 2008 and I got a 5! It is truly the single best review book out there. I also owned Baarons, REA, and princeton review, but this was the best one information wise. REA is way to long and alot of the information is very very unnecessary and too detailed. Baarons is to brief and has to little detail. Princeton was pretty good but not as good as Cliffs. Cliffs has the best review. The review covers pretty much everything and in a good amount of detail. Just to let you know, the practice tests in cliffs book are horrible and princeton has the best practice tests so use theirs. Anyway, if you only have enough time for 1 book use cliffs and if u are really dedicated Princeton is also pretty good so read that as well for a second perspective. But I would recommend to read princeton only if you have read cliffs at least 3-4 times if not, just stick with cliffs and it will really help you. Good Luck!

The best review book

This review book is excellent for many reasons. Its review itself is straight-forward to read and is presented in a way that is not boring. While I would fall asleep reading Princeton Review, I was able to focus on the text and review well. The way the author bolded important events and people was also extremely helpful. There are also 10 multiple choice questions at the end of every section that help you see if you have understood what was just covered. The practice tests were somewhat easier than the actual test, but with a good teacher, you will be able to practice real tests. Each question of the practice multiple-choice tests is explained in depth, which is extremely helpful. The practice essay section was weak because the essay topics were not as in depth or specific as the actual exam. Essay examples were also lacking and because of the weak essay section in this review book, I went to Princeton Review's review book.
Cracking the AP European History Exam, 2006-2007 Edition (College Test Prep)

I highly recommend this book. It is truly the best review book I have seen, ever. I wish I had used this throughout the school year in my class instead of a month before the AP. I recommend reviewing with this book, with the Princeton Review European History review book as a supplement for the essay section (Although, in my opinion, if you cannot write essays, there is no hope for you anyhow in any review books. Your best bet is to read as many successful DBQs and FRQs as possible [examples can be given to you by your teacher] and get a feel for how to write them. That way is the best way to learn how to write good DBQs and FRQs).

If you are interested, I received a 5, which I credit to a solid score from the multiple-choice section (as in, this review book helped very much) and DBQ.
