<p>I heard that Amsco US history is almost a textbook not a review book.
How long is the book? How many chapters are there?</p>
<p>30 chapters. 676 pages not counting the practice exam, but including all of the things in between that don’t count as material (e.g. end-of-the-chapter questions and DBQ help).</p>
<p>Don’t be misled though, the pages are rather small (I’d say the width is about 4/5 of a textbook page and the height of the book is about 7/8 of a textbook page). The style isn’t like a textbook either. It’s succinct, to the point, and easy to read.</p>
<p>O.O… 676?! Do you think I’ll have time to cram that all in by May (considering that I have to study for other APs and deal with school)?</p>
<p>i think you’ll be fine if you do a chapter or so a day… what i usually do is take notes (handwritten so i can remember them) on one chapter and then go over the terms that are listed in the back of each chapter and answer the questions pertaining to each chapter… i can finish this in about 1 hr or so </p>
<p>it works well enough for me :D</p>
<p>or you can just read the whole chapter and reivew the chapter at the end</p>
<p>its an easy read and extremely helpful, do two chapters a day for about two weeks and you’ll probably get a 5 granted you can recall the info!</p>
<p>It’s quite thorough, but it’s really not that bad. </p>
<ol>
<li>It’s VERY easy to understand. </li>
<li>The pages are like the pages of a novel. (they’re small) </li>
<li>Out of those 676 pages, many of them are assignments / questions, and not readings. </li>
<li>It’s well-organized and the font is pretty large.</li>
</ol>
<p>AMSCO is a great read from front to back. Succinct and direct style of writing. Don’t worry.</p>
