<p>I think I will be a dissenter on this thread.</p>
<p>I got PR last year, and I thought it was horrible and entirely useless. I reviewed for 2 days (just got back from debate ntls, history is my fav. subject, and took World History - which is good precursor to Euro) - and tried doing tests in the book. Didn't do that awesome...but some of the questions and the review material in the book were horrible. My impression of it was entirely useless...I think it's only good for touching up on some of the stuff that is major...otherwise the review is very shallow. It's best to go over the DBQ core standards, and set up an individual timeline of important events the day before the test - don't have to memorize the dates, but know the events in relation to each other, and cause and effect. </p>
<p>I would get either REA or Barron's. I got PR to save time, but I really think it's just a waste of money. Skimming Barron's would be the best deal, if you don't have the time to really study.</p>
