(Other Format - BOX 500 3X5 Cards)
Students preparing for the Advanced Placement U.S. History exam will welcome this set of flash cards, which offers them the flexibility to study history in ways not available from textbooks and study guides. 500 cards encompass the entire AP course, reviewing all key topics. Cards are numbered and labeled so that students can arrange them within a chronological time frame or according to any of seven categories. The cards run chronologically from the Colonial era of the early 1600s to the present day. The seven categories are: Arts and Sciences, Domestic Policies, Presidential Matters, Wars and Foreign Relations, Economy and Business, Legal Issues, and Society and Culture. Questions and answers on flash cards cover every significant aspect of U.S. history from Abolitionism and Articles of Confederation to the Yalta Conference and Zachary Taylor. Here is an efficient and productive way to brush up on facts for the Advanced Placement exam, and an ideal supplement to classroom textbooks.

Last year, I used the World History Flash cards and they helped me get a 4 on the exam. I bought them super close to the exam but I'm sure that if I got them earlier I would have gotten a 5. I got these cards today and they really do help me remember everything my teacher doesn't get to cover or explain completely. They are amazing for the multiple choice section. I used them with the Barron's review book and it was a great help. I am strong writer so I really didn't need to worry as much for that section. However, If you really study, using these cards, you'll have enough information to write a great essay.
All you need is time and dedication.

July 10, 2006: I had left studying for the AP U.S. Exam until the last week (as usual) when I came upon these cards. My AP U.S. History teacher wasn't really much of a teacher, so I didn't know much, but studying these cards really helped! Alot/Most of the multiple choice section can be lowered down to simple recognition, which these cards can definitely help you with. However, they didn't really help me with the FRQ section- to get a good score I had to mention more facts than were included on the cards- but for the multiple choice section these cards were great.
