5.0 out of 5 stars Very very good., November 3, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cracking the AP: U.S. History, 1999-2000 Edition (Annual) (Paperback)
Wow does this book bring back memories from a massive cram session I had two days before the test! I found this book a great help it is very clear with the review. You see the ETS is not very creative, they use the same questions over and over again. My teacher actually predicted many multiple choice questions! I remember that I really regretted sleeping in the back of my class, so I frenetically went to bookstores two days before the test. I got a 4 on it so I am happy, but damn do I hate history!

5.0 out of 5 stars A reader from Denver, Colorado - Sept. 19, 1999, September 20, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cracking the AP: U.S. History, 1999-2000 Edition (Annual) (Paperback)
I used this book for prep for the Ap US exam and loved it. However, I find its review is wonderful for the multiple choice, but not necessarily the essays. You are going to have to read the thick and scary texts for this. It does however provide a few tips for when you write your essays. I received a 4 on the exam, and it was definatley thanks to my all day reading of the review the day before the exam. Good luck!

5.0 out of 5 stars You will get a 5 with this book!, May 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Cracking the AP: U.S. History, 1999-2000 Edition (Annual) (Paperback)
Princeton Review's "Cracking the AP US History" is the best test prep book I've seen so far. The author, Tom Meltzer, has done a good job. He REALLY tells you what you have to know on the AP Exam. No kidding. He highlights all those important terms for us to review. Because there are still many stuff to cover in this summary, make sure you have time to read the entire review at least 5 times (about 1-2 months); you can then remember what you've to know. The practice test almost resembles the actually AP Exam.

This is the best book in bookstore. You will get a 5 on the AP Exam with it!
