Peterson's Ap Success: World History

Rating:
Summary: Better than Barron's, Not as good as Princeton Review
Review: The title of this review sums it up. Petersen's APWH study guide is just "OK" for AP World History. It's a good source for ideas for multiple choice questions. I've used Petersen's, Barron's and Princeton Review with my students--hands down winner is PR's "Cracking the APWH Exam", In My Humble Opinion.

Summary: up to 4 stars for the charts
Review: This review book contains interesting tidbits that others don't have. It also features good overviews that hit the essentials and a large number of terrific comparative charts. This book makes connections among different civilizations, time periods, topics, and themes. In fact, it's possibly the best book for making connections and drawing conclusions.

For lots of details or facts, you'll need something else, too.
