5.0 out of 5 stars AP Euro Guide Rocks!
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2011

I have taught AP Euro for over a decade and this book has everything you could ever want to be successful on the exam. The charts at the end of each chapter are really good and the questions are a good simulation of the exam. The scores my students receive on the sample tests and the ones on the CD almost always correlate to the ones they get on the test, unless they either work very hard or very little between the sample test and the exam. I really like the DBQ advice and rubrics. The DBQ and how to beat it are really ex[plained well.

The historical content is perfect. It contains what students need to know for the exam without superfluous and pedantic detail. This is simply the best guide out there, and I have heard that the next edition will have even better FRQ advice and rubrics and a full scoring guide.

If there is one weakness of this text it is that it does not have the new scoring of the exam which does NOT deduct 1/4 point for each incorrect answer. It also could explain the scoring of the entire exam better. Overall, I think this is the best and most enjoyable to read AP Euro review guide out there now.

5.0 out of 5 stars Really Nice book.

You guys, I seriously freaked out before I was taking test. I am NOT even kidding. I got so frustrated when I was taking practice tests because it was ridiculously hard and I thought that I would not fail. And this was the one I was using for practice exam. This book makes you feel like you are going to fail the exam, but you WON'T. This book makes you feel like the AP exam is a piece of cake. See, I studied AP European History when my first language was not English, and I thought that the actual exam was pretty easy after using the book. Thus, anyone who uses the book will at least receive score of 3. Their essay part is not that great... but for mc, USE THIS. No kidding, for anyone who has NO IDEA what to prepare and how to prepare for exam, I highly recommend this book. :) Also I am sell this book, so please contact me if you need one.

My AP US Government teacher recommended this book to us as a study guide for the AP test. I didn't really use it as much as I should have, but the information provided is really useful. This is a great book to use as a study guide.

1.0 out of 5 stars should have just gotten PR

This book sucks, if you don't believe me just go look in section 3 of the review at Barnes and Nobles.

Ok in section three they talk about Absolutism in France, England, and mention the 30 years War and Spanish exploration. Yet they have in the review questions for the section a question about Peter the Great's beard tax though they probably used about 30 words on Russia the entire book up to that point and all of it was on serfdom. Their other review questions are extremely unrealistic. for example:

"That the Anglican Church broke from Rome before altering Roman Catholic Dogma indicates that
A. Henry wanted a divorce, which the Pope would not grant.
B.Henry's lust for Anne Boleyn motivated him to reject his devout Catholicism
C. many facotrs including resentment of papal abuses contributed to the English reformation."

The other answers were stupid so i don't want to type them out. But apparently the answer is C. The book says for the explanation "The simplistic interpretation of Henry's personal motivations as the prime cause for the English reformation ignores other important factors." Yet the entire review of the English reformation talked about Henry wanting a divorce. The did not mention a single time "other factors" in England. They simply said Henry was a Devout Catholic who did not believe in Lutheranism and only wanted a reformation to get his heir. The book just contradicts itself.

Also once it mentioned the English Reformation and next to it said "(See Page 64)" And on page 64 there was only the answers to a previous review of the Renaissance and their explanations. I doubt anybody even read this book before it was published.

Also, i needed help on reviewing the English Revolution and Glorious Revolution. The book doesn't not mention the various religions of many of the kings/revolutionaries so it is hard to understand. The book is also written using very confusing language like, "The Gunpowder Plot, 1605, was uncovered by disgruntled Catholics, led by Guy Fawkes and objecting to Jame's enforcement of laws that required participation in Anglican services, could blow up the King and Parliament." My normal text book did not mention this plot so this raises more questions than it answers like was James I Catholic since his mom was? (unanswered.) Why were the Catholics disgruntled? Who were they mad at? What was the plot? Who started it? who was trying to blow up who??????? uhhhh it just sucks.

Don't buy this book i would be farther along with wikipedia

Much cheaper than from bookstores and really fast shipping. Recommended by AP teachers, it is a very good book and helps a lot in class and preparing for the AP exam. Other books are recommended for more info, but this book outlines all you need in simple easy to read and memorize charts.
