The review units, which were new to the 5th edition, have been enhanced, expanded, and reorganized for quick reference to provide in-depth review for your students. About 245 documents were used to generate the 730 multiple-choice questions and 25% of the questions are by, or about, minorities and/or women. The 245 documents include: primary sources, secondary sources, historiography, political cartoons, maps, speeches, charts, graphs, poems, songs, posters, and visuals that require the student to use historical inquiry skills to discern the best answer. The new 6th edition gives your students the edge that they need to succeed on the new exam. Why not give your students the edge?
