Review by Seth for Five Steps to a 5 AP U.S. History, Second Edition (5 Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations)

Like any other ap us history student I was faced with the task of taking the AP USH exam. However the harder task was choosing which book to use to study for it.
I looked at all the big names: Kaplan, Barrons, PR. And then I saw this. The book helped me get a 4 along with Barron flashcards i bought (buy those too!).
Goods: gives a good summary and 2 practice tests and dbq’s and a diagnostic
Cons: eh, wait for an updated version of the book. didn’t really go ‘really’ in depth as i would’ve liked. I had a really REALLY good teacher, so the book didn’t help a decent amount by itself. there are only 5 questions at the end of each chapter, which test easy questions.
Final note: If they update this book, buy it. IF they don’t look at other reviews for (09) USH books on amazon.

This book is acceptable as a supplement to a good textbook or a good teacher, but I would not recommend it by itself. There are also some errors. I have not scoured the entire book, but these are just two I noticed:
On the diagnostic test question 3,Samuel Gompers B) led the American Federation of Labor would be the correct answer, on the scoring guide, however it says C) served as president of the American Federation of Labor…the information is correct, just the letter is wrong, but it does make me wonder how many of the others are wrong.
Also, in the rapid review for the Reconstruction chapter (page 152) it says:
“The plans of Reconstruction proposed by Abraham Lincoln, the Radical Republicans, and Andrew Jackson all varied dramatically.”
HAHA. I don’t think Andrew Jackson proposed any plans for reconstruction, considering he had been dead for 28 years.
They mean Andrew Johnson of course, but still….
I would recommend a different book; however, if it helps me get a 4 or 5 on this exam, I might consider revising my review.

The book was required from the school. Whether the book is any good is highly subjective. It it gives my kid an “A” then I will say it is great.
