Summary: Use to get the basics
Review: This prep is good for reviewing and learning basic info near May. It doesn't cover social history whatsoever, which was a disaster for the 1999 AP Euro Exam, in which half the questions from the multiple choice and one essay group were social history. Don't rely on this book, but rather use to review along side notes/textbooks if you haven't before the test date. The practice questions adn essays were way too easy.

Summary: an okay study guide
Review: This wasn't a very great study guide. It was okay to use as a little review. I was disappointed that it didn't go as in depth as i wanted. The practice tests in this study guide was different from the actual exam.

Summary: Good overall prep tool-but not a stand alone
Review: Today I took the 2000 AP Euro History Test. After a quick review in class, I used the Barron's book for about 1 week to review and prepare. The book does a great job with the earlier stuff like Renaissance material, but slides off near the end. Most of the review is political history, which was great for the 2000 exam. I would definitely recommend this book for any AP student, as it is invaluable for late preparations, and does a good job with the overall review, although the multiple choice questions were more difficult than those on the real AP test. That may be a positive aspect though, as it prepares you for the most difficult examination possible.

Summary: Great preparation for the test!
Review: Well, I would give this book a 5, but I didn't read the summaries. Instead, I only took the practice tests and got a 4 on the AP European History test. I would suggest buying this one over the Princeton Review (I bought both) because its practice tests are very good and a more accurate representation of what the actual test was like.Also, one thing to note is that I only had instruction from 1500-1900 (my teacher wasn't the greatest planner of his time). So, in effect, I didn't know a bunch of the questions, but I was still able to score a 4, which is partly a reflection of how well the Barron's book prepared me. Oh, and one more word of advice. When you take the sample tests, DO NOT simply check your score, instead, look at every answer (they give detailed answers in the book) to every question you missed, and even some of those which you answered correctly. This was probably the most important thing that I got from this book (I had to write an essay comparing the rise of Stalin to the rise of the Jacobins, and all that I knew about Stalin was from the Barron's book because my teacher did not prepare us, lol). So, if you're looking for a book to prepare you for the test, this is the one. But, it does take some time preparing as you should take as many of the sample tests as you can because it will give you an accurate impression of what the test will be like, it will give you extra information for you to use on the real test (in the answers to the sample tests), and it will prepare you for the real test ("practice makes perfect!").
