Cracking the AP World History Exam, 2008 Edition (College Test Prep) 7 reviews
Princeton Review
Princeton Review, 2007
Superb review and accurate practice tests, but lacks practice questions
I took the 2008 AP World History exam. To study for it, I read Kaplan's, Barron's, and Princeton Review's AP World History review. Of the three, I'd say Princeton Review offers the best history review. Kaplan's was skimpy, and Barron's was more of a textbook than a review. Not only is the Princeton Review book really organized, it also contains numerous compare and contrast essays (e.g. fall of ...

Cracking the AP U.S. History Exam, 2008 Edition (College Test Prep) 2 reviews
Princeton Review
Princeton Review, 2008
easy to use and effective
This book is great for those of us who are too busy or can't concentrate on our textbooks. This book helped me a lot in my APUSH class because it's much easier to read and much shorter than the textbook. The questions for each section should tell you what you understand or do not understand in that section. You can use it as an indicator on what part of your textbook you need to read more ...

CISSP Certification All-in-One Exam Guide, 4th Ed. (All-in-One)17 reviews
Shon Harris
McGraw-Hill Osborne Media, 2007
Wouldn't have passed without it!
I can honestly say that if it weren't for this book I probably would not have passed my CISSP exam. Unlike other prep-guides, Shon engages the reader and keeps their attention. Also, this book doesn't read like a "read this book and pass an exam" book. It reads like a security book which just so happens to teach you the contents of the CISSP CBK. Good work and congrats on the 4th edition.

FE Review Manual: Rapid Preparation for the General Fundamentals of Engineering Exam (F E Review Manual), 2nd ...97 reviews
Michael R. Lindeburg
Professional Publications, Inc., 2006
An excellent preparation tool
Give yourself about 3 months (or more) and go through the entire book. Follow the author's instructions on how to use the manual. If you go through each chapter and do the questions, you will pass the FE. The format and level of complexity are a spot on match to the test. Time is a factor with this method, it is about 3 inches thick, so don't wait until you have 3 weeks left to study. Pay ...

PMP, Andy Crowe
Velociteach, 2005
Passed on my first try!
I highly recommend this book. I also purchased the PMBOK, but only got about halfway through. Crowe's book broke it all down for me. I read the book once, did all of the questions in the book, and did the free trial on the Velociteach website. Additionally I borrowed Rita Mulcahy's book from a co-worker and did all of the end-of-chapter questions. I was kind of freaked out because I didn't ...

Cracking the AP Calculus AB & BC Exams, 2008 Edition (College Test Prep)8 reviews
David S. Kahn
Princeton Review, 2007
My son got a 5 on the Test using this
My school does not offer AP Calculus, but by AP rules, you can take the test despite not having the class. So, my son decided to use this book to help him prepare. My son is very good at math, so he was able to learn from the way this presented the material. He ended up getting the highest possible score.
If you have the class-imagine what you can accomplish with this aid.

Great book, rotten certification
This is a fine book by a credible and devoted author and is certainly more interesting to read and more engagingly written than anything Cisco has ever produced about the CCNA.
I have read it cover to cover and profited immensely from the experience though most of the later chapters will probably not be of much use to me for reasons I will explain next. My learning was in a substantial-sized ...

Aspen Publishers, 2005
Good textbook...
I'm finding my torts class difficult at times, so I'm glad to have this book for my text. It has a lot of examples to illustrate each concept, which is helping me grasp all the ideas pretty well. Also, the book is not nearly as expensive as a lot of textbooks, so I feel I'm getting my money's worth out of it.
