Title: Not Enough Historical Information, Too Many Student Essays
Product review: My mom bought this book so that I could study for the AP U.S. History test, but I was a bit disapointed. I was hoping to get a thourough review of history, but instead, the sections on historical time periods list only questions that you SHOULD know the answers too without giving you the facts. For every chapter, there is a sample student essay with teacher critiques. Reading one or two essays might be helpful, but reading student essays won't help me to understand the history. I am already a good writer. What I need is to review the facts.My Thompson's/Peterson's SAT II Prep book has been much more helpful since it includes concise summaries of key people and events for each time period (even though I bought it to study for a different test).This book is helpful in learning how the test works and has some useful practice questions, but if you want to review the history, this is not the book for you.
