My world history textbook was an absolute PAIN to read. As a result, I decided to purchase this book to supplement the overall experience for the class. And it helped: significantly.
The book starts off with info about the AP World History (WHAP) test, such as what to expect and how to answer questions. The huge chunk in the middle is like a secondary textbook, more on this later. The last part of the book contains 2 AP full length tests, in which I suggest you use one for a diagnostic and the second to test your skills.
If a WORLD HISTORY book makes me actually enjoy reading it, its obviously going to stick in my head better. And that is the magic of this book. Don't expect huge lengthy paragraphs on certain chapters; rather, information you will actually need for the test. The book is sprinkled with some comical effects that make it much more easier to understand. Also, there are small information boxes that let you connect places to places, the main focus point of WHAP.
The tests are probably the closest to College Board AP style as you will see in a reference book. Rather than asking for straight facts like some books I know, Princeton's uses an analytical basis for its questions. Furthermore, there is an answer key at the end with explanations about the answers as well.
Some flaws with the book include no primary resources and no example essays. Though the book does give guidelines on how to write the essays, it would be nicer to see actual ones along with commentaries. The lack of primary resources isn't that significant, but still noteworthy.
Overall, this is the BEST reference guide I've used for a class in a LONG time. If you want to make a 5 on your AP test, this book should definitely be your TOP priority.

I got this to help me study for the AP test in the spring. It is a great companion to my textbook as I get a different view on the same topic. Extra information is added to the subjects as well as a complete overview of the AP test, which is very helpful!
