It offers an okay review...and okay practice tests. But it doesnt go over the dbq's and test format really well.

5.0 out of 5 stars BEST REVIEW OUT THERE!, April 21, 2003

APEX is company which produces the college board AP Exam review and is the only outside producer of AP products which the college board endorses. After taking several of APEX's online classes and online review courses(and scoring 5s on the exams in which I took the courses), I knew I could trust this company. I also new that with APEX's partnership with Kaplan this was definitely going to be a promising test prep. I certainly received exactly what I expected!! This is a fabulous and complete test prep that fills in many of the holes that other test prep companies have left out.

5.0 out of 5 stars Kaplan Helped me get a 5!, September 6, 2003

When my accomplished history teacher abandoned our class this year in october- we thought we were all done for when it came to passing the AP exam later that may. However, all hope was not lost, thanx to our replacement teacher and our review books.
Around February, everyone in class started purchasing review texts, and by looking at my friends' i can give you the definitive answer: Kaplan was the best. It uses a glossary like format to allow you to get only the information you need to study without reading a long narrative (like the Princeton Review's Book). It also divided the material into chapters and provided a test of real AP questions at the end of each one. Cliffs wasnt too bad, but it lacked a lot of key information and Barrons was absolutely no help at all.
When my friends and i formed a study group, it was me doing the teaching and them (with their inferior study guides) listening. Kaplan and long term studying can definately lead to a 5 on the AP test.
