Summary: A Useful Little Study Guide
Comment: This review was reccommended to me by my AP Euro teacher. I purchased this book and subsequently got a 4 on the AP European History Exam. I felt prepared for the test once I took it, but also did additional review work on my own beforehand. It's a good supplement to the AP Euro course, nothing more, nothing less.
Customer Rating:
Summary: A Good Starting Point
Comment: If you plan on doing well on the AP exam (4 or a 5), this book is a good start but will not cover all of the important social/cultural developments that make up a good part of the test. It does extremely well at providing everything you need for the political/diplomatic questions, but expect to use another review guide or textbook to study in addition to this.

Summary: Don't waste your money!
Comment: This book is terrible! It does not accurately portray the kinds of questions featured in the AP exam and should only be used after every other available resource has been exhausted.
Personally, I would recommend (with 5 stars of satisfaction) trying Modern European History by Birdsall S. Viault if you are looking for a review of European history.

Summary: Okay Overall, but not for short term studying. Two stars
Comment: I bought this book in late January. I covered a majority of the book over the next three months, and it helped a little. The text is very dense and not very focused on the AP test. This is most definitely not a one month or less review book. Some of the DBQ test questions were completely random, and in my teacher's point of view, unrealisitic.
My recommendation for AP Euro is the Cliff's Notes. I did not use this myself, but most of my class did and loved it. However I would highly, highly recommend REA for U.S. history.
I would give this book 2 stars (I could not figure out how to edit my original review.

Summary: Not Recommended
Comment: I disliked this book and highly recommend that students in an AP European History course refrain from purchasing it. The best AP European History study guides are brief and concise, and have only the information necessary to do well on the exam. This book, however, is too comprehensive. It left me wondering, "Do I really need to know all this stuff?" And you don't. Furthermore, the practice tests are different from the actual test in terms of types of questions and of content. Although their FRQ's are similar to the ones on the AP Exam, their sample essay answers are bad examples of good essays. Cracking the AP European History Exam from the Princeton Review is much better. Save your money and buy that instead. I gave this two stars instead of one because it makes an OK reference book, but a bad AP study guide.
