Students preparing for the Advanced Placement U.S. History exam will welcome this set of flash cards, which offers them the flexibility to study history in ways not available from textbooks and study guides. 504 cards encompass the entire AP course, reviewing all key topics. Cards are numbered and labeled so that students can arrange them within a chronological time frame or according to any of seven categories. The cards run chronologically from the Colonial era of the early 1600s to the present day. The seven categories are: Arts and Sciences, Domestic Policies, Presidential Matters, Wars and Foreign Relations, Economy and Business, Legal Issues, and Society and Culture. Questions and answers on flash cards cover every significant aspect of U.S. history from Abolitionism and Articles of Confederation to the Yalta Conference and Zachary Taylor. Here is an efficient and productive way to brush up on facts for the Advanced Placement exam, and an ideal supplement to classroom textbooks.

This is literally the best review of US History. I felt yesterday that I knew no US History and I had my final exam at third. That night as well as before third I had gotten through the cards three times and knew the answer to every question on the exam. There is nothing better. If you want a 5 get these cards immediately. Great for a quick rview before the exam and a great value. These cards saved my life.

I purchased these cards for my daughter when she was taking AP US History 2 years ago and now my son is taking the same course. Both of my kids use these as one of their primary study guides. My daughter got a 5 on her AP exam and B+ / A- during her AP US History class her Jr. year of high school. My son just got a B on his AP US History mid term for his class as well as his buddy who borrowed the cards to study with. Needless to say, these cards are quite helpful! My only complaint is that they aren't numbered so keeping them in order can be a bit tricky if you aren't meticulous with them. Put the card after it sideways, always, and it will be fine.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great teaching tool, December 1, 2008

Great way to get a lot of information quickly. There is the ability to categorize the set with handy symbols on the front of each card. This makes it really nice for teaching and learning themes not simply memorizing the information which is helpful for the essay and DBQ portion of the A.P. exam. The cards can also be used in the classroom for review. I have handed out stacks of cards and had students make flow charts for the information so they understand the cause and effect for a series of events. I would suggest this be one of a few review tools and not used alone because it will be harder for students to understand connections of events in this format.
