I’m currently an APUSH student and of course this is the time to study for the AP exam.
When i first purchased this book I loved the way that the information is formatted in a brief and concise manner. I love how this book has a section on all the important things of Woman, and African Americans and Literature etc.
But, when I took the 2001 released AP exam and was checking my answers using this crash course, I realized that many of the points in this study guide are copied verbatim off of the AP exam. In my opinion this isn’t very professional of them, but then again it could be a good thing. Up to you to decide.

AP U.S. History Crash Course
This was an EXCELLENT resource-it was so much help. It is organized very nicely, chronologically following US History and only disccusing the Absolutely Essential points. It’s definitely an excellent resource I recommend to ANY student…in fact, I think having this book should be a requirement if one is taking the US history exam. The chapters on African American history and Women’s history were especially helpful, and will aid any student taking the exam. Also, it includes a chapter on important congressional acts, relevant supreme court cases and labor unions, which are all VERY helpful. It is easy to read and, overall, an effective tool of study.
While this book is excellent, I DO NOT recommend using this book solely to self-study the exam. It is excellent for review if you are taking the class, and if you are taking the class then this book alone should suffice. However, if you purchase AMSCO along with this book, it is definitely sufficient to self-study. While one could probably self-study the exam with only AMSCO, I strongly suggest purchasing this book as well-it is a savior. I do not recommend this for self-study alone for obvious reasons-it’s condensed to bring up essential points, that in turn bring back key concepts, but is not exhaustive enough. For example, the section discussing the Proclamation Line of 1763 discusses what it was and its purpose, but does not talk of the tensions it created in the colonies, the growing feeling of contempt toward Britain, how it contributed to the Revolution, etc…it expects you to remember that. For that reason, this book used in accordance w/AMSCO will guarantee you a 5 on the AP exam if you study properly. With that being said, it is a truly remarkable book that you should definitely purchase.

I bought this book as a supplement my textbook and I know that I made the right decision. This is a fantastic resource for all APUSH students! This “just the facts” approach to the exam works perfectly to keep me on track studying the right topics. The test tips are really helpful too. I feel confident that I’ll be getting a 5 with no problem!

This year I took the test and I got a 4. I credit some of my success to this book. Simply, this book summarizes everything important you need to know to give you the best benefit to get a 5. Although by itself it probably is not enough for a 5, it does help alot in comprehension of alot of the important topics. Surprisingly this year’s test had a essay about labor groups and I wrote basically everything that was written in this crash course. I recommend for those taking the test to supplement this with the bigger REA book with amsco. That is a killer plan to getting a high score.
