Title: Short, uninformative, poor exams, and occasional mistakes.
Product review: I was very dissappointed with this book. Friends of mine who had used the REA American History reveiw highly recommended the series. However, I found the subject reveiw in this edition to be incredably small. It left out major topics from the exam. In addition, the practice exams were extremely poor. The questions were badly worded, with more than one answer being correct. The diagrams were atrocious; in one graph, the lines used to plot two variables were identical. There were also questions where the books answers were wrong; in one instance, I found an answer justifyed by the fact that, and I quote:"Committee chairmanships in the House... are generally given to the member of the majority party (Democratic) that has served the longest..." This is from a book copywritten in 1998, claiming that which has not been true since 1994. Therefore, I feel that this book should only be used if there is absolutely no other available text.
