For APUSH, I'm using the No Bull Review (https://www.amazon.com/dp/1514337509/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_uSO6ybMPZ8F9W ). It was reviewed by Adam Norris as well
Also, I'm going through my past notes to see things I forgot and try to quiz myself on it so I know the material. Maybe look at the review videos first just to refresh your memory and then do more intense studying
Looking for this exact book. Willing to pay 5$

No Bull makes this APUSH/SAT USH book, and gov, geography and world history books. idk how the other No Bull books are, and if the gov is for AP or not, but I really liked the USH one. You can consider accompanying it with your class notes or maybe another prep book (i.e. the PR one if you are taking APUSH). Even though it is a bit shorter than most, it covers most of the small things you need, without putting essentially a whole textbook as your prep book like Barron's SAT USH. It is way more digestible than most prep books, using acronyms, charts etc. Do take my review with a grain of salt, especially if I seem overly endorsing of it, as I am just someone random on the internet, who hasn't even gotten their score back yet. I did take APUSH in school this year and do pretty well in it, so that's why No Bull, a shorter review book than most, was better for me by not being so long and exhausting, but still refreshing my memory.
​
I found the No Bull questions at the end fairly easy, probably because they only ask from stuff in the contents of the book, but they also seemed easier than the real one today. Still good questions to go over though.

Official College Board SAT US History (only has practice tests+explanations, no review section): https://www.amazon.com/Official-Subject-History-Study-Guide/dp/1457309319/ref=sr_1_4?crid=QZMDIMIQKLRH&keywords=sat+us+history+subject+test+2019&qid=1557026528&s=gateway&sprefix=sat+us+%2Caps%2C195&sr=8-4
​
This one is pretty much the only source to get official practice tests. There isn't even a review section. I really dislike that these tests aren't available for free online but what are you going to do its CB :(. Anyways, this is the only book with accurate practice tests AFAIK. Save these tests for once you are done studying. I regret wasting one before I was ready, since all the other tests were so off.
​
I also had PR for APUSH which was good but probably not necessary for sat USH if you have a textbook or something else. I also had Barron's SAT USH which had an ok-ish review section but the practice tests were really bad (waaaaaay too hard). Also, practice tests in Barron's and most on crackSAT, I wouldn't use to actually gauge your score, just as a review.
