This review is from: 5 Steps to a 5 AP U.S. History, 2010-2011 Edition (5 Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations Series) (Paperback)
It is an amazingly good book with short paragraphs that tell you all you need to know! If your more of a detail kind of person than this is not for you. This kind of gives you the rundown of the important facts you need to know, and expects you to know the rest from the textbook you are using, which is good.

4.0 out of 5 stars 5 Steps to a 5 AP US History 2010-2011, May 5, 2010
This review is from: 5 Steps to a 5 AP U.S. History, 2010-2011 Edition (5 Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations Series) (Paperback)
Its concise, but I did find some mistakes. On page 69 the author correctly names the colonial governor of the Dominion of New England Edmund Andros, but a few paragraphs later he calls him "John Adros." On page 104 referring to the Marbury v. Madison Case, he states that Marbury's first name is "John" when it is William. Then in the "rapid review guide" on page 145 he mistakenly refers to Andrew Johnson as "Andrew Jackson." Hopefully I won't find anymore problems. Despite these somewhat minor mistakes, the book is good at summarizing American history.

I barely knew anything from my teacher. Read this about a month prior to my test and scored a 3. Alright. Don't expect to read this and get a 5; that's only possible if you're coming into the game with a lot of knowledge.
