Amazon.com Product Description
The Kaplan U.S. History & Government Essential Review presents core information on the subject with an appealing, easy-to-use interface. It spans more than 500 years of major historic events, ranging from the signing of the Declaration of Independence to President Clinton's impeachment and acquittal. The program incorporates complete tables of the U.S. presidents and constitutional amendments, as well as a timeline of historical events from the country's founding to the start of the 21st century. The practice tests help students track progress and identify areas for further study, while the brainstorming, outlining, glossary, and bibliography programs will improve homework assignments and papers. Students will also benefit from tutorials and quizzes for each chapter, test-taking tips and strategies, context-sensitive help, and word-search and crossword puzzles that reinforce content.Students can begin the program however they like. Some prefer to read the table of contents, choose a chapter, and begin their learning through reading and practice tests. Others may choose to explore various portions of the program, such as the tutorials, Tips and Strategies section, or the glossary. Students can also begin by taking a 25-question diagnostic test to determine mastery level. Upon completion of the test, Kaplan Essential Review provides a report of correct and incorrect answers. For each incorrect response, the program offers the correct answer and explains why it is correct. From that point, students decide how they would like to direct their learning: They can explore a subject in which they need improvement, study the tutorials provided, work on crossword puzzles covering the content, read through the glossary, or take practice tests. They can then retake the diagnostic test to compare results.

It does what it says: aptly named, "essential review" October 30, 2001
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought this to help me prepare for quizzes in US history class. It does the job! There's not a lot of fluff, not a lot of cool features (I like the music though!). It's just a really great review tool. The idea generator thing is really neat.
