Product Description
Students preparing for the Advanced Placement U.S. History exam will welcome this set of flash cards, which offers them the flexibility to study history in ways not available from textbooks and study guides. 504 cards encompass the entire AP course, reviewing all key topics. Cards are numbered and labeled so that students can arrange them within a chronological time frame or according to any of seven categories. The cards run chronologically from the Colonial era of the early 1600s to the present day. The seven categories are: Arts and Sciences, Domestic Policies, Presidential Matters, Wars and Foreign Relations, Economy and Business, Legal Issues, and Society and Culture. Questions and answers on flash cards cover every significant aspect of U.S. history from Abolitionism and Articles of Confederation to the Yalta Conference and Zachary Taylor. Here is an efficient and productive way to brush up on facts for the Advanced Placement exam, and an ideal supplement to classroom textbooks.

 Great addition April 27, 2010
Lori D. Vaughn (Tx)
These cards are a really great addition. Highly recommend them for group studies or just easy practice whenever and wherever and a great way to see how much you KNOW about each specific topic instead of just reading a book and hoping you retain it.

I purchased these cards for my daughter when she was taking AP US History 2 years ago and now my son is taking the same course. Both of my kids use these as one of their primary study guides. My daughter got a 5 on her AP exam and B+ / A- during her AP US History class her Jr. year of high school. My son just got a B on his AP US History mid term for his class as well as his buddy who borrowed the cards to study with. Needless to say, these cards are quite helpful! My only complaint is that they aren't numbered so keeping them in order can be a bit tricky if you aren't meticulous with them. Put the card after it sideways, always, and it will be fine.
 An Asset to Review for APUSH Coursework and Testing October 13, 2009

My daughter's Advanced Placement U.S. History (APUSH)teacher recommended these cards as a study aid. In the first three weeks, they already showed their value. My daughter had a unit test and was the only student in the class to have purchased these cards. The teacher, in preparing the students for studying, asked if anyone had purchased the cards. To those students, she recommended the relevant numbered cards for study. There were questions on the test that my daughter knew as a direct result of having reviewed with these cards. We are very pleased with our purchase and would recommend these review cards to anyone taking Advanced Placement U.S. History (APUSH).
**Also this item was $8 cheaper at Amazon.com vs. the local chain bookstore.**
Great teaching tool December 1, 2008

Great way to get a lot of information quickly. There is the ability to categorize the set with handy symbols on the front of each card. This makes it really nice for teaching and learning themes not simply memorizing the information which is helpful for the essay and DBQ portion of the A.P. exam. The cards can also be used in the classroom for review. I have handed out stacks of cards and had students make flow charts for the information so they understand the cause and effect for a series of events. I would suggest this be one of a few review tools and not used alone because it will be harder for students to understand connections of events in this format.

High quality product. Cards are a wonderful tool to memorize everything that was studied in class, and can be used as a very comprehensive and helpful tool to put history in perspective. Cards are a great addition to the AP history book.
