Five Steps to a 5 AP U.S. History, Second Edition (5 Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations)

Like any other ap us history student I was faced with the task of taking the AP USH exam. However the harder task was choosing which book to use to study for it.

I looked at all the big names: Kaplan, Barrons, PR. And then I saw this. The book helped me get a 4 along with Barron flashcards i bought (buy those too!).

Goods: gives a good summary and 2 practice tests and dbq's and a diagnostic

Cons: eh, wait for an updated version of the book. didn't really go 'really' in depth as i would've liked. I had a really REALLY good teacher, so the book didn't help a decent amount by itself. there are only 5 questions at the end of each chapter, which test easy questions.

Final note: If they update this book, buy it. IF they don't look at other reviews for (09) USH books on amazon.

Recommened by AP World History teacher. Recieved test results today and students(twins) have 5's!!!
