5 out of 5 stars Lives up to its title   May 20, 2010

This really is a how-to guide to getting a 5 on the AP exam. Whether looking for a quick refresher prior to the exam or a year-long study book, this book provides curt, informative reviews on the entirety of US History, as well as study materials for doing your best on the exam. Arrived quickly and as described.

My daughter found this extremely helpful in studying for her first AP test. No results yet but it wasn't due to lack of good material if she doesn't ace it.

Its concise, but I did find some mistakes. On page 69 the author correctly names the colonial governor of the Dominion of New England Edmund Andros, but a few paragraphs later he calls him "John Adros." On page 104 referring to the Marbury v. Madison Case, he states that Marbury's first name is "John" when it is William. Then in the "rapid review guide" on page 145 he mistakenly refers to Andrew Johnson as "Andrew Jackson." Hopefully I won't find anymore problems. Despite these somewhat minor mistakes, the book is good at summarizing American history.

It is an amazingly good book with short paragraphs that tell you all you need to know! If your more of a detail kind of person than this is not for you. This kind of gives you the rundown of the important facts you need to know, and expects you to know the rest from the textbook you are using, which is good.
