4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, but be sure to use it with another book, December 29, 2005
I have yet to find the perfect AP prep book for any subject, so I HIGHLY recommend buying this with the PRINCETON REVIEW book because:
-Cliffs has some of the most comprehensive review, though it doesnt have good review questions, at least not for AP preparation (assuming that's your intent).
-Princeton R. has the BEST review QUESTIONS, AND the best AP practice exams, they virtually mimic College Board's--right down to the FONT! (don't know about the margins, though, haha)
-Cliffs has THE BEST feature: timelines after every chapter to help with organization of the material covered.
-Princeton does a pretty good job of covering key points for the DBQ and essay, but the key to nailing them is basically organization, a STRONG thesis, and a good knowledge of the content (which needs to be conveyed to the AP grader). That being said, these two books with definitely boost your knowledge and confidence when taking the AP exam. Peace, and good luck.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Study Tool, August 25, 2004
By U. Khan (Long Island, NY USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The Cliffs is one of the best AP Euro review books. It's got excellent content, reviews all of the topics very thoroughly and concisely. You get all of the information you need, without being overloaded with extra facts. It also has a good basic timeline at the end of each chapter, which I like.

I had intentionally planned to read all of the hundreds of pages of notes I had taken on my textbook reading (McKay), but it was too much of an information overload, and was taking too much time. So instead, I spent the week before the exam reading and highlighting. It was a huge help, and I owe my 5 to my fantastic teacher, textbook, as well as this reviewbook.

The only problem is that the questions at the end of each chapter aren't nearly as hard as the real thing. Though the sample essays at the end of the book are fantastic, the practice test questions aren't very difficult either. So I reccommend definitely getting this book, along with maybe the Barrons. I didn't buy any other review book myself, just relied on this book + the old exams my teacher gave us. But it can't hurt to have another source, just for extra practice or details one of them might miss. Good luck!

4.0 out of 5 stars Should not be totally depended upon, November 2, 2003
By A Customer
This book was thorough with explaining each of the main topics and it has everything major in european history that you need to know for the ap test. However, this book had NO MENTION whatsoever of the social aspect of european history. AP has begun to add more social history questions, and this book did not include any of it. In addition, there were grammar and spelling mistakes. There also weren't enough practice tests, but they gave a pretty good indicator of what you would get on the real AP, excluding the DBQ and essays. So this book is good to use if you want to use it as a supplemental book to your AP class, but do not solely use it for the AP.
