4.0 out of 5 stars Good review., March 4, 2000
This review is from: Princeton Review: Cracking the AP: European History, 1999-2000 Edition (Paperback)
The book spends too much time on test-taking tips which we know most of; except for tips on the essays. The review section is fairly comprehensive. It does leave out information such as demography and imperialism, in addition to a lack of information from the post-WWII period. It also needs more information on Eastern European nations. The practice test is much more difficult than the real test will be. I have seen many real AP exam questions on classroom tests during the year. They are "big picture" questions, for the most part. I would study from this book to understand the core information and use more sources to deepen an understanding of specifics.

5.0 out of 5 stars This book helped me get a 5 on the test!, January 3, 2000

This review is from: Princeton Review: Cracking the AP: European History, 1999-2000 Edition (Paperback)
This book was so helpful to me last year! Not only did it help me get an "A" in my Ap European class, but it helped me get a 5 on the AP European test! I suggest buying this book ahead of time and reading a little bit each day, like before you go to sleep, if you have extra time, etc. This book was essential to my success with AP European.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, August 30, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Princeton Review: Cracking the AP: European History, 1999-2000 Edition (Paperback)
2 weeks before the exam, if you're in trouble, this is where to turn. I was in trouble, but I managed to pull out a 5 by reading it twice and reviewing sections that I was unsure of. The greatness of the book is found in its tendency to refresh one's memory on areas that were locked in a foggy first-semester haze. It does need to be complemented by a more comprehensive textbook review; Princeton Review is an essential but only cursory review. Practice test was decent, but the information on how to take the test was most helpful. This is an AP must.
