Product Description
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. 504 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.

 Amazing March 14, 2006

This is literally the best review of US History. I felt yesterday that I knew no US History and I had my final exam at third. That night as well as before third I had gotten through the cards three times and knew the answer to every question on the exam. There is nothing better. If you want a 5 get these cards immediately. Great for a quick rview before the exam and a great value. These cards saved my life.

Really helpful, but these are flash cards and they do not replace knowing the material in depth.

High quality product. Cards are a wonderful tool to memorize everything that was studied in class, and can be used as a very comprehensive and helpful tool to put history in perspective. Cards are a great addition to the AP history book.
Good review material May 14, 2008

I got these for my son who is a good student (A- or B+) in history and he found them very helpful. Not a replacement for studying the material but a very good review before the exam. They are color coded on the edges for different time periods so you can take just the blue ones for one era, or the yellow ones for another time period. He went through them all and selected the ones he needed the most and just kept them with him for a few days. He took the SAT and AP US history exams. The SAT he found pretty easy, but the AP test was hard - mainly because of the essays. These cards helped on the multiple choice.
Most of cards contain much more than just a date or name, they have a little paragraph summarizing the facts (including dates and names) in context. They cover social and political movements not just events or famous people.
An Asset to Review for APUSH Coursework and Testing October 13, 2009

My daughter's Advanced Placement U.S. History (APUSH)teacher recommended these cards as a study aid. In the first three weeks, they already showed their value. My daughter had a unit test and was the only student in the class to have purchased these cards. The teacher, in preparing the students for studying, asked if anyone had purchased the cards. To those students, she recommended the relevant numbered cards for study. There were questions on the test that my daughter knew as a direct result of having reviewed with these cards. We are very pleased with our purchase and would recommend these review cards to anyone taking Advanced Placement U.S. History (APUSH).
**Also this item was $8 cheaper at Amazon.com vs. the local chain bookstore.**
