Editorial Reviews

"The 9th updated edition of AP European History pairs online content with five full-length practice tests (three online) and a question-and-answer format that lends to review, but part of the real meat of this book lies in its collection of best study practices and tips for acing the test which are specific to European History questions on the AP test. The model tests reflect many aspects of the actual AP format, which means that students will get a heads-up on test approaches and structures in general, as well as question types and answers. Examples range from multiple-choice to long-essay style questions, answers follow each chapter, and charts offer information in a format students can easily absorb, making the 9th updated edition of AP European History the item of choice for any AP student studying for this placement exam."
