What review book is best for AP World History Exam?
Hey everyone.
I've been perusing the endless questions about the World HIstory Exam and the best book for reviewing for the exam itself. Can anyone tell me the best book? I've heard Kaplan is good, PR is great, and Barrons is not so good relative to the other two, but I need a clear explanation as to why this is so.
Thanks
Personally, I had the Kaplan AP Review book, the Kaplan SAT II review book, and the Princeton Review AP Review book. I feel like the Kaplan and PR AP books complement each other but if you just got the SAT II, it reviews all the times perfectly. Even if you think that you shouldn't be using a SAT II review book for the AP Test, remember that the Collegeboard makes both the SAT II and the AP Questions. If I were you, I would just get both Kaplan books so you get more in-depth info and practice questions from the SAT II book and a review of time chunks, time chunk questions, and possible essays/dbq's from the AP book.
