It contains test taking strategies from Mike Barrett, a SAT tutor.


The Black Book is the ideal SAT book for 3 major reasons:

AP World History (World Civilizations: The Global Experience, Combined Volume (6th Edition))

I am using this book for the textbook at my school currently and it is amazing!
Broad concepts and useful AP test prep questions and also practice guides for essays.
Tip as a AP World History class taking student: AP World History is so broad that I don't think any prep books actually cover the all concepts enough for the test. So it is better to prepare with the actual textbooks like this along the prep books. You can NEVER get decent grades if you just study with the prep books because AP World covers tremendous amount of stuffs!
