Cracking the AP U.S. History

by The Princeton Review, Tom Meltzer

The Princeton Review realizes that acing the AP U.S. History exam is very different from getting straight As in school. The Princeton Review doesn't try to teach students everything there is to know about U.S. history--only the techniques they'll need to score higher on the exam. There’s a big difference. In Cracking the AP U.S History, TPR will teach test takers how to think like the test makers and

• Eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool test takers
• Earn more points by reviewing and mastering the U.S. history concepts most likely to be tested
• Score higher on the multiple-choice section by using the chronological arrangement of questions as a clue
• Crack the Document-Based Question by knowing the right way to organize the essay

This book includes 2 full-length, simulated AP U.S. History exams. All of The Princeton Review practice test questions are like the ones test takers will see on the actual exam, and every solution is fully explained.
