The manual’s extensive subject review has also been updated to account for important events of the past few years as they have affected cultures and countries around the world. The review chronicles human history from the earliest known societies to the rise of civilizations, a phenomenon that has developed to become today’s technology-driven world community.

Reader Reviews
This book did not help me at all! I read, more or less skimmed, the entire thing. HUGE mistake! I ended up reusing my AP World book to prepare for the SAT. The ideas in here are way to concentrated on the details, a lot more than even what other Barron's does, and the information will never be tested on the SAT. So, I decided at first this book might be a reference book for the future, if I need to look up something really quick, but as I read through I realized the thing is a piece of junk. NO ORGANIZATION, FALSE GENERALIZATIONS, VERY POOR CHRONOLOGICAL ARRANGEMENT! To make things worse, the tests in here are practically impossible (and it's not just me. I felt the actual thing is somewhere around 100 times easier), and there were mistakes to at least 5 or 6 questions. The explanations are short and useless, and because the book is so poorly organized it is difficult to search the correct information in the text! If I could give one piece of advice to the authors, here it is: Stop trying to show readers you can outcompete other review books on how much history you stuff here, and stop trying to show readers how creative you can get putting the history together. Give them what they want, and that's a book with a good SAT II review. I am so disappointed with Barron's right around now. I am switching review books to Princeton.
