Alright, I agree with you all. While in my case, our teacher assigned us many (maybe most) of the AMSCO chapters during spring break (this week, last year), perhaps REA is better when you’re short on time. Let me emphasize though that if you DO have both review books, that you ought to at least do the chapter questions after each AMSCO chapter (after reading the corresponding REA text). B/c one thing REA lacks that AMSCO has (among many things) is chapter questions to test for your comprehension. The AMSCO chapter questions are honestly the BEST AP level USH questions of any non-College Board resource. And yes, I recommend using: http://www.historyteacher.net/USQuizMainPage.htm. These quizzes helped me review for the AP exam and helped me score an 800 on the SAT II in USH. If you feel like it’ll be impossible to review w/ the AMSCO, then read the REA book, do the AMSCO chapter questions (if you have the book), and quiz yourself on the time periods you have the most trouble on with that website. You should be able to score a 5 if you devote enough time to review. GOOD LUCK!! I hope you all get your 4s and 5s! I know it felt AWESOME to see a 5 next to US History in the AP grade report in July!
