Summary: Alright, but not stellar
Comment: I think this review book was alright, but not great. Generally I really enjoy Princeton Review, and I thought the world history one was pretty good; however, I was not impressed with this version. I just felt like this book was missing a lot of key details (even though they are details, they are still pretty important). It does not even mention the Battle of Saratoga, which is quite significant in that it mustered French support for the colonists' effort. While the book does touch lightly on things you need to know, I often had to look up additional information in my text book, which judging from the above reviews, a lot of students wish to avoid. Overall, this review book is okay. Yes, it does give you an idea of what you need to know, but it should definitely be supplemented with other texts.

Summary: APUSH=5 thanks to Princeton Review!
Comment: This book was awesome. I used Princeton Review to study for 2 out of my 6 AP classes. I had this US History book and the AP Psychology book. The two exams I used Princeton Review to study for, I got 5s! In the other 4 subjects I got 4s. This book is the exact tool you need to push yourself from a 4 to a 5! It's great!
Customer Rating:
Summary: easy to use and effective
Comment: This book is great for those of us who are too busy or can't concentrate on our textbooks. This book helped me a lot in my APUSH class because it's much easier to read and much shorter than the textbook. The questions for each section should tell you what you understand or do not understand in that section. You can use it as an indicator on what part of your textbook you need to read more carefully to get that A on your tests and 5 on the AP test.
