2.0 out of 5 stars A shaky review book at best, January 6, 2004
This guide is a shaky review guide at best. Using my experience of the test, the essays, and my excellent teacher, I can successfully say that this book WILL distort your image of the real AP test. The one compliment, if any, I can give, is that the outlining and notes of each section was sufficient. Besides that, the practice tests were absolutely awful, and the sample grading the author provided was inaccurate. In one edition (I think it was 2nd), I scored about a 30/80 on the multiple choice section, and freaked out. The only "5" essay the author provided was absolutely stunning---so stunning that the only way someone could have written that was by totally cramming on that topic and that topic alone, then getting lucky on test day. I don't recommend this guide at all. And I certainly didn't get a 30/80 on the multiple choice on the real test, seeing as how I got a 5. I recommend Princeton Review or Arco for AP Euro.

2.0 out of 5 stars I kept an OPEN mind for this book, but it didn't MAKE the CUT, December 29, 2005
I was keeping an open mind while reviewing this title because I KNOW everyone has different learning methods, but I don't think being presented with spaztic, unorganized material is one of them. This is one of the most poorly organized books I have every studied. But in all fairness, I WAS subconsciously pinning it up against the Cliffsnotes and Princeton Review which are FAR more efficient to study. The essays that are presented are FAR TO DETAILED and not a good indication of the expectations of the College Board, especially with the few minutes given to write the essay (DBQ and free-response). I was very surprised at this Barron's book, because its SAT and other AP exams preps are among the elite.

5.0 out of 5 stars Intelligent book for AP students, October 25, 2003
By A Customer
Of all the AP review books, this one gives the best advice on taking the exam:how deal with short answers, DBQ and thematic essays. It has a really great, easily applied method for writing any of the essays.
It also has OVERVIEW sections that show "the big picture". The model answers are longer and better written than a student would probably do, but they give good reviews in themselves.
The book has two complete sample exams with questions I found to be like on the actual exam.

Barron's can be very boring. It is just a list of all the essential facts that you need to know for the exam. However, it is a good refresher of everything you've learned. Read more
