Editorial Reviews: 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.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Great teaching tool Comment: Great way to get a lot of information quickly. There is the ability to categorize the set with handy symbols on the front of each card. This makes it really nice for teaching and learning themes not simply memorizing the information which is helpful for the essay and DBQ portion of the A.P. exam. The cards can also be used in the classroom for review. I have handed out stacks of cards and had students make flow charts for the information so they understand the cause and effect for a series of events. I would suggest this be one of a few review tools and not used alone because it will be harder for students to understand connections of events in this format. Customer Rating: Summary: Flash cards Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Helped some, but do not use alone Comment: Yeah... Don't use these alone, read your textbook if not a review book. Do plenty of DBQ's. These do help. But i stress (again) do not use them alone. I got a 4. I got lucky too. Customer Rating: Summary: Good review material Comment: 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. Customer Rating: Summary: Good, but not worth the $'s Comment: The set of AP history cards are fairly good to study off of, but the price is a little high for something that most likely has been printed for several years. A list of all the card subjects and the cards numbered would have been a nice touch. More Reviews
