Last year in my junior year I really wanted to get a 5 on my AP US test after receiving a humble score of 3 on my AP Euro test as a sophomore. During sophomore year I bought a Princeton Review prep book, but in reality I totally crammed the night before the test and did badly. Not much of a surprise.
In junior year, I began to study about a month before the test date, using two prep books as study material. However, they were WAY too thick and had too many stupid details and irrelevant questions. In a month's time, I was pushing myself to read over 30 pages a day while maintaining my grades at school and preparing for finals. Though I only signed up for one AP test (meaning I was not as stressed out as my friends who signed up for 5 or 6 AP tests), I still felt that I had too much to juggle.
So I bought REA APUSH. I was a little skeptical because it was so thin and looked like it only provided very basic outlines. In the end, I was proven wrong. I read the entire book from cover to cover TWICE. Just twice. After taking a practice AP test in my history class, I only missed about 13 questions, whereas my peers missed over HALF of the questions. 13 may seem like a lot, but that puts any student in good standing in receiving a 5.
So again, I read REA and took the SAT II US History test and scored a 710. The SAT II test was pretty hard and I thought I failed it... but the REA saved my life. I'm sure if I had read it more than twice, I would have scored way higher.
A month later I took the AP US test. Honestly, it was even easier than the SAT II since the APUSH test provides a generous curve. I came out of the testing site with great confidence, having felt like most of the questions were EXACTLY THE SAME as the material in the REA. No joke.
