APWH was my first AP class/exam, and it was a success thanks to the 2016 Princeton Review book! I was debating whether to get Barrons or Princeton, but I settled on Princeton just because my friends recommended it to me. I'm sure Barrons is great too, but I am in love with Princeton Review. I scored a 5!!!THE CONTENTI'm sure all of the review books are like this, but I really find it handy that they separated the content by time period. Again, I'm sure all the other books did the same, but it just made it more organized and for me, really easy to understand and remember what I had learned months before. I had sticky notes everywhere, and that made the book more organized and easier to handle when going back to specific events. I reviewed with this book 4 weeks before the actual exam. It helped tremendously with remembering what I had forgotten. At the end of each section, there is a timeline and a list of the vocabulary words. I found it really helpful to go back to the ends of the sections to review without reading the entire chapter! I recommend, as you are reading, to highlight vocab words and make notes in the margins. There's plenty of space to write, so no need for sticky notes! All in all, I found the content to be extremely helpful in terms of remembering and learning the events and facts that occurred in each section.THE PRACTICE TESTSOkay, there's one thing I need to stress. The practice tests were more challenging than the actual exam (to me, at least). It wasn't a problem finishing everything within the time limit because the book holds strategies for time management. The questions were just very hard to remember. Even at the end when I finished reading the entire book, I had trouble answering the questions. Don't panic like I did! The questions are much more difficult than the actual AP exam which was very helpful. Some questions were actually really similar to some questions on the exam! Final word: don't be discouraged when you miss 20 questions. It's meant to be hard! It was hard, but beneficial. There is a VERY detailed explanation of each question at the end of the test. It's really handy, especially when reviewing because it helped refresh my memory. I recommend finding more practice tests online since there are only two in the book. The essay questions were pretty hard too, in my opinion. I had no clue how to answer them! I never practiced with the essays in the book, but I made sure to read and understand the prompt and the answers that were explained in the end. Again, the essay prompts in the AP exam were MUCH easier than the ones in the book, so don't panic if you blank out after reading each prompt. It's meant to be more difficult than the real deal.THE STRATEGIESThe strategies in this book are super helpful! Things like time management for the multiple choice and essays worked! I followed each step during the AP exam, but of course, you can't just rely on these strategies. Study hard first! When I followed the strategies though, I had 10 minutes to spare after writing all 3 essays. For the multiple choice, I had 10 extra minutes, but I used all my extra time to check my answers! The advice for essay writing was helpful, but personally, I think writing an outline and rough draft is too time consuming, especially when you only have roughly 40 minutes for each essay. Finally, strategies are awesome! 10 spare minutes after 3 essays is a lot of time! Remember to also practice writing under pressure before the exam and you will be fine!EXTRA COMMENTSHonestly, and I am NOT kidding here. I actually enjoyed reviewing for the exam with this book. I really did chuckle at some of the remarks in the book and I loved the commentary from the authors. This review book is very well written and easy to understand: it's really no nonsense, just read it and take notes!Using just this book and some review my teacher gave me, I earned a 5 on the 2016 AP World History exam. It really wasn't easy throughout the year, and studying was painful too, but it was all worth it. I highly recommend this book to anyone who wants to pass the exam! Good luck, work hard, and never give up!
