Which of these is the best AP world history prep book?

Question

AP world history power pack by Sparknotes (the cheapest one), Cracking the AP world history exam, 2011 edition by the Princeton Review, Kaplan AP world history 2011, AP world history (REA) - The best test prep for the AP world history [that's only part of its description], 5 steps to a five AP world history, 2010-2011 edition, or AP Achiever (Advance placement exam preparation guide) for AP World History/edition 3

Answer 1

Personally, I think the Princeton Review is the best one, but honestly whichever one you get, maybe try working with friends who have different prep book. Also, my teacher recommend the REA version and that was pretty helpful too.

Answer 2

The AP World History Review book by Barron's is really good. I used it to study it for my AP World History exam. It was amazing and the AP exam was really easy thanks to the AP Barron's review book. The wording in this book is similar to the test, also the essay preparation is the best in this book. The AP Kaplans' book is really bad. The questions are really easy and the wording is really easy as well. It is like they are talking to a elementary school student. It does not help at all. This will put you at a disadvantage. Also, the book lacks knowledge. The AP Princeton Review book is respectable. It is not amazing but its not bad either. If have trouble understanding the tough language that the AP uses, this is a better option than Kaplans'. Remember AP Barron's book is a better option.

Answer 3

IMO, Kaplan is the most thorough.
