5.0 out of 5 stars The Best AP European History Study Guide Available- Period!
Reviewed in the United States on May 11, 2016

This an an excellent study guide for the 2016 AP Euro exam. I self-studied for the exam this year and can say with confidence that the Princeton Review AP Euro series contains a tremendous amount of AP Euro content and strategies. In order to study for the exam, I watched YouTube videos, did questions on Learnorator, and read two review books. This strategy was extremely effective; I was confident answering almost every question on the test. If you are aiming for less than what I wanted, lower than a 4 or 5, this book alone will most likely earn you it.

Inside the review book, there are around 450 pages of varying categories. The book contains tips for each section of the exam, a 200 page content review section, and two practice exams with answer explanations provided. There are content chapters from 1450-1648, 1648-1815, 1815-1914, and 1914-the present day. Each is quite lengthy and should be done over multiple sittings. In addition, at the end of each content chapter, a quiz of around 20 questions is given. These are great estimators of what you know about the content chapters.

Compared to the REA AP Euro book, which I also read, this book is much more detailed and comprehensive. The REA book is only an outline for the test content and does not provide detailed descriptions of what occurred from 1450-the present day in Europe. However, it does provide a great summary of the material most likely to be on the test. Therefore, I would recommend using the REA book as a last-minute cramming tool on the day of the exam.

Actively reading the Princeton Review AP Euro book two times over (this means taking notes in the margins and underlining key information) will expose any diligent reader to the content necessary for success on the exam. This will probably account for around 30 hours of one's time- a worthwhile investment when the savings of AP credit are taken into account.

Overall, the Princeton Review AP Euro series is a fantastic review book. Those who took the 2016 exam and read it like me will likely agree!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rockin' Study Guide

You can't get much better than this book for a very comprehensive review of the entire AP European History curriculum. The content review is unmatched by any other prep book in the genre - just run through it a week or so before the exam and, assuming you've had adequate preparation from your course, you should be on track to make it through the heavy multiple choice section.

Essay preparation tips could be slightly better - I learned to do the essays slightly differently, so I ignored the suggestions in the book. With nothing to go on, these tips are certainly better than going in blind, however, I suggest you review some actual test questions.

The practice tests included in the book are, in my opinion, ever so slightly less challenging than the actual College Board exams (past released exams and the actual exam that I took). I would take those with a grain of salt - the book's major strong point is its most excellent review of content.

Out of all the books available for this purpose, you can't go wrong with the Princeton Review title (not so in all subjects!).

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for the Practice Tests, Lengthy Review
Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2016

While this book provides and in-depth review for the AP European History test, to me, that is the exact problem. After reading several hundred pages, I found it very hard to recall the information properly. That being said, the 2 practice tests included make the book well worth the money and provided me with essential practice for the AP Euro test. If you want to get a better review, I would suggest purchasing the AP European History Crash Course review book in addition to The Princeton Review.

5.0 out of 5 stars Got a 5 on the AP test, in part thanks to this book
Reviewed in the United States on July 21, 2016
Verified Purchase
the most useful part of this book was the chapters that thoroughly explain how to get full scores on the DBQ/long essay. if you feel like your Euro teacher hasn't explained the AP essay scoring system well, then you should definitely get this book.
in addition, the practice tests line up pretty well with the actual format of the AP test. when it comes to the information sections, obviously princeton review loves to way over-prepare its students. So those sections are extremely detailed and not good for a quick review. that being said, if you want to score a 5 you will appreciate the feeling of being over prepared. I found it most helpful to read through the chapters alongside my class notes so that i could figure out which information was the most essential. You do not have to know all of the people/events mentioned in this book to get a 5, so focus on the ones you learned in class!!
finally, the timelines are extremely useful but much too detailed; i highlighted the important dates in the timelines and used them to review which events occurred in specific centuries.
i'd say one of the big weaknesses of this book is that there is no comparison between the different types of art (renaissance, baroque, neoclassicism, romanticism etc.) Yes, they are all discussed in the book, but they are not compared side-by-side. other than that, this book is a must-buy for those who want a good score.

5.0 out of 5 stars the teachers don't know what the AP exam is like until the kids take it
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2016

To anyone not wanting to buy this because someone else commented in the reviews that it wasn't the same as the AP exam this year: the teachers don't know what the AP exam is like until the kids take it. Whoever said that has an idea of what the exam might be based on past ones but they don't know if it's changed. I frankly enjoy this book and it's very good for review.

My daughter earned a 5 on the AP Exam

My daughter studied very hard in the class, and earned A's both semesters. BUT -- she begged for this book, and read it cover to cover TWICE. It did the trick!! She felt very confident going into the exam, but coming out of the AP Exam, she thought she blew the DBQ Essay. BUT -- she earned a 5 score, and was VERY glad that she had this book to help her prioritize her studies! Thanks Princeton Review!!

A useful addition to the AP Euro History course. A few mistakes in historical fact and gaps in analysis but - unusually - better than the current Barron's for the 2016 exam.
