I would like to start off by saying that this is probably the best APUSH test review booklet that you are going to find. It's not perfect and does have some flaws, but this one is by far the most helpful.It features a very long, somewhat in-depth review of everything that happened in American history that could be covered on the test. It breaks up all the information into three categories; social, political and economic. Because of this, it tries to focus on the more important aspects that will be on the test. Some of the downfalls to this method is, that while it does a very nice job of giving an overarching picture of a time period, it sometimes misses certain events. For the most part this is all right, because it focuses on the things that tend to be more important on the test itself.It also includes a section explaining certain trends and tips on how to take the test and understand the way it is working. It explains how to answer multiple choice questions, which most AP students should already know how todo. But what is very helpful, are the sections on the DBQ and FRQ. It explains specifically what the graders are looking for in an essay and how to structure it in the given amount of time. This is one of the most helpful things about the book, as most test takers weak points are the essay's.The test also includes many many many sample questions at the end of each chapter to help you review what you just reviewed. Also in the back are two full tests, and it includes answers.The only problem that I see with this book, is that while it is extensive, it alone is not enough to get a 4 or 5 on the AP test.
