Scoring high on the AP World History Exam is very different from earning straight A's in school. The Princeton Review doesn’t try to teach you everything there is to know about World history–only the strategies and information you’ll need to get your highest score. In Cracking the AP World History Exam, 2011 Edition, we’ll teach you how to:

- Use our preparation strategies and test-taking techniques to raise your score
- Focus on the topics most likely to appear on the test
- Test your knowledge with review questions for each topic covered

This book includes 2 full-length practice AP World History tests. All of our practice questions are just like those you’ll see on the actual exam, and we explain how to answer every question.

My daughter's teacher recommended, but made it optional, this book to use along side their regular AP World History Textbook. My daughter has benefited over and over again from this book as it explains and makes the textbook much more understandable. It will also be a great tool as she takes the AP test at the end of the year for college credit. A great investment, worth every penny!

This helped me achieve a 5 on my AP World History Exam! I definitely recommend this to anyone taking AP World, since it is one of the hardest AP classes. This book gives very concise paragraphs on what you need to know for the exam, nothing more. It's even pretty funny (I laughed out loud a few times). The practice questions in the book are extremely similar to the questions on the AP exam. Definitely 5 stars!

5.0 out of 5 stars Princeton Review > Barron's, July 9, 2011

Most likely if you're looking to purchase a review book for AP World it's between the Princeton Review book and the Barron's version. After reading nearly all of both review books, and then taking the AP World test, I can tell you that the Princeton review book does a much better job of narrowing down the information to what is necessary. The review questions at the end of the Princeton book are also much more similar to those found on the test. For AP World, Princeton Review offers a more organized, more focused, and overall superior review book to that of Barron's, it helped me to get a 5 on the AP Exam.
