The seven categories are: Arts and Sciences, Domestic Policies, Presidential Matters, Wars and Foreign Relations, Economy and Business, Legal Issues, and Society and Culture.

Customer Reviews

Amazing
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.

Not entirely enough
overall, these cards are good but no great. they cant replace a prep book. they do a great job in reviewing the major ideas and concepts, but the lesser ones that the ap test might pick the cards arent much help there. and also, i didnt really like the format of teh cards. the bullets on the back aren't really bullets. they're like mini-paragraphs preceded by a dot.

Great teaching tool
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.
