5.0 out of 5 stars if only all colleges used this for history class., September 4, 2011

This review is from: U.S. History II (Cliffs Quick Review) (Paperback)
my local college uses this for history, and it makes it so much easier to study. cuts all the useless crap and leaves only the raw information.

5.0 out of 5 stars Prepared me for the CLEP exam., January 24, 2012
By 
Spidey "apu" (Massachusetts United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: U.S. History II (Cliffs Quick Review) (Paperback)
If only other history books were as clear and concise as this one, perhaps I'd have more interest in history. I actually enjoyed reading it, despite my generally having an aversion to studying history. I read it solely to prepare for the CLEP History of the United States II exam. It was the only study material I used and it sufficed. I found the exam difficult, but I got a scaled score of 60--which is more than enough for college credit. Even though I read the book in its entirety over several days, I found it did help my results on the exam to skim the book just before the exam to memorize certain facts. Reading the book twice (rather than one read and a quick skim) probably would have gotten me better results on the exam.
