REA’s AP® U.S. History Crash Course® is the top choice for the last-minute studier or any APUSH student who wants a quick refresher on the course.

Crash Course® puts AP® test candidates on the inside track to a higher score. Our all-new fourth edition addresses all the latest revisions, which took effect in 2016, in the wake of the College Board’s rare second revision of the AP® U.S. History exam within a two-year span.

Written by Larry Krieger, America’s best-known and most trusted AP® U.S. History expert, the book gives you the topics and critical context that will matter most on exam day. Crash Course® relies on the author’s extensive analysis of the test’s structure and content.

Packed with powerful test strategies and unmatched insight into the workings of the exam, the book equips students to effectively apply the historical thinking skills demanded of test-takers. The book covers the full range of special AP® question types, including ＂comparison,＂ ＂causation,＂ ＂patterns of continuity,＂ and ＂synthesis＂ prompts (which require test-takers to make connections between historical periods, issues, and themes).

The book comes with a true-to-format full-length online practice test with diagnostic feedback, automatic scoring, and detailed answer explanations to allow students to pinpoint their strengths and weaknesses so they can gauge their test-readiness.
