Peterson's AP World History book review? Good, best, or bad? Best WH prep book?

I bought the Peterson's AP World History Book recently:
Amazon.com: AP - World History, 1st ed (Peterson's Ap World History) (9780768918250): Peterson's: Books

Along with Barron's and 5 steps to a 5 for the AP world history test in May.
I only have One month to self-study without any prior knowledge in World History, Comparative Government & Politics, Macroeconomics.

To those who've used the Peterson's book in the past, is it good? And sufficient without Barron's/5 steps?
(I'm worried of the essay section & not being able to finish studying for everything, so would really love to focus on One book if possible > which will also prepare me for the essay questions)

Please provide your opinions and help. Thank you so much!

Amazon.com: AP Achiever (Advanced Placement* Exam Preparation Guide) for AP World History (College Test Prep) (9780073292113): Dixie Grupe, Sigrid Reynolds: Books

AP Achiever, hands down, is way better than Barron's for AP World. I saw my friend's Barron's and it was not particularly useful, while I've used my AP Achiever all year (including now, as I write a DBQ)

@lemone
Have you had experience or heard any opinions about it to use it for AP World History?

@emorylegacy
Would the AP Achiever book be sufficient to be used alone without textbook or prior knowledge/classes as I'm self studying?
