Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: European History (Cliffs AP)Comment: Book is a text book for some type of school. Relates little to past history of Europe. Doesn't belong in the category of "European History. I should not have bought it and threw it away.Customer Rating: Summary: Don't get this one, it's not worth itComment: I became familiar with all three major books on this subject while studying (Cliffs, Princeton Review, & Kaplan) and this one is the worst. Its 2002 publication date is fatally old for a book that is supposed to cover a constantly morphing test, and most importantly, the practice exams in the back are WAY too easy.
Customer Rating: Summary: CLIFFS=5Comment: I used this book as my main study guide for the AP European history test in 2008 and I got a 5! It is truly the single best review book out there. I also owned Baarons, REA, and princeton review, but this was the best one information wise. REA is way to long and alot of the information is very very unnecessary and too detailed. Baarons is to brief and has to little detail. Princeton was pretty good but not as good as Cliffs. Cliffs has the best review. The review covers pretty much everything and in a good amount of detail. Just to let you know, the practice tests in cliffs book are horrible and princeton has the best practice tests so use theirs. Anyway, if you only have enough time for 1 book use cliffs and if u are really dedicated Princeton is also pretty good so read that as well for a second perspective. But I would recommend to read princeton only if you have read cliffs at least 3-4 times if not, just stick with cliffs and it will really help you. Good Luck!Customer Rating: Summary: The best review bookComment: This review book is excellent for many reasons. Its review itself is straight-forward to read and is presented in a way that is not boring. While I would fall asleep reading Princeton Review, I was able to focus on the text and review well. The way the author bolded important events and people was also extremely helpful. There are also 10 multiple choice questions at the end of every section that help you see if you have understood what was just covered. The practice tests were somewhat easier than the actual test, but with a good teacher, you will be able to practice real tests. Each question of the practice multiple-choice tests is explained in depth, which is extremely helpful. The practice essay section was weak because the essay topics were not as in depth or specific as the actual exam. Essay examples were also lacking and because of the weak essay section in this review book, I went to Princeton Review's review book.
Customer Rating: Summary: Great for APComment: the book was is great condition and was very helpful for the AP exam
