The Princeton Review realizes that acing the U.S. History exam is very different from getting straight As in school. TPR doesn't try to teach students everything there is to know about U.S. History -- only what they'll need to know to score higher on this exam. There's a big difference. In Cracking the Texas EOC: U.S. History, TPR will teach test takers how to think like the test makers. This will be accomplished by teaching students how to: Eliminate answer choices using Process of Elimination and other techniques Learn the historical facts that are most important by using the "Big Picture" approach Improve scores by focusing on the material most likely to appear on the test Test knowledge with review questions for each U.S. History concept covered Use the U.S. History "Hit Parade": a study list of more than 100 key people, places, events, and ideas most likely to be tested *This book includes 2 full-length simulated exams. All of the sample test questions are just like the ones test takers will see on the actual EOC U.S. History exam, and every solution is fully explained. Contents Include: Part I: Introduction About the Texas EOC and TAAS Exams Structure and Strategies Part II: The U.S. History Review Big Picture 1: The Gilded Age, the Progressive Era, and World War I (1877-1920) Big Picture 2: The Roaring Twenties, the Great Depression, the New Deal, and World War II (1920-1945) Big Picture 3: The Cold War and the Civil Rights Movement (1945-the Near Present) The U.S. History Hit Parade Part III: The Princeton Review Practice TestsMandell, Jeff is the author of 'Cracking the Texas Eoc:U.S. History U.S. History' with ISBN 9780375755729 and ISBN 0375755721.
