Nice concise summaries. Very thorough. Easy to read and great for review. I would recommend purchasing at least 2 months before the AP test so you actually have a chance to read it.

This helped me get a 5 on my AP test. My teacher recommended everyone to get one of these, and I'm pretty sure all of us did. This book is good to review on the AP test, but don't depend it to get all A's on you tests in class. It's not detailed as your textbook so you probably won't do well if you use this and not read your textbook.
The one thing I don't like about this book is that I think the pages should be bigger and the book can be thinner. It's easier to use that way, but that's minor. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-05-10 02:09:08 EST)

The best review book ever. Got me a 5 on the Ap US History exam!
It discusses all the most important parts in U.S. History and its practice tests are great! (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-03-09 01:29:54 EST)

literally questions in the practice tests appeared on the real exam. i remember seeing a nit-picky question on authors and themes of an era that i thankfully learned the previous day in REA. the practice tests may be a little bit harder than the actual thing, but extremely close. the reviews on each era is thorough and the practice tests are plenty. the explanations to the answers of the practice tests are also extremely helpful. one tip is to read the explanation of the correct answer after you complete a practice test, regardless of whether you got it right or wrong to guarantee you have your information down cold. i would say invest your apush money in this book only and you're set for the test in may.

As helpful as a book can possibly be. But honestly, like you're going to learn all of the AP US curriculum from one book? Just study in class, and use this for review, but definitely not as a learning tool.
The practice tests are great though. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-09-04 11:29:29 EST)

Though it looks fat, the book is nicely made. With dates, timelines, and good specifics. It has a lot of information and seemlessly connects from one era to another. It picks up on a lot of the events and covers over most of the important details that many people miss.
It's a good buy. Worth the money. (Review Data Last Updated: 2007-09-04 11:29:29 EST)

I believe that every info that you would need for the actual AP U.S. History test is in this book. It has A LOT of practice tests included in it and if you go through each one you should be able to tone your knowledge on American history for everything that could possibly show up on the College Board exam. The only beef I have with this book though is it does not offer any questions at all at the back of each chapter. It can be hard to feel totally satisfactory if you do not have any questions to do after reading a whole chapter. A timeline is alright but questions tone you more.

here's a sentence in the book:
Virginians were also angry at Royal Governor Sir William Berkeley, whose high-handed, high-taxing ways they despised and whom they believed was running the colony for the benefit of himself and his circle of cronies. it's nice to know that the writers actually have opinions. this is history that definitely doesn't sound like it was written by robots. and this is coming from someone who hates history a lot... i'm just using it to score high on the SAT US history subject test.

Thanks to this review book, I ended up with a 5! Our AP teacher called this "the review bible" and used this book constantly in class. It's even good for class tests! My friend was failing those until she started reviewing with this book...and her grade improved significantly. The best part of this book is the tests. They ask questions that are definetly comparable to AP level questions, and the best thing is to ALWAYS read the section that explains to you why you are right or wrong on a question. The sample essays are also very helpful.
