I've only taken Western Civ. I. Personally I liked the REA study guide best, even more than Western Civ textbooks. I used some various library books, textbooks and such but found REA most helpful. Memorizing the right answers and why the other answers are wrong I believe is very important!
Many have suggested the Speilvogel (sp?), but to me it didn't seem that helpful.

REA is a great overview for both--be sure and take all the practice tests, read the answers, then take them again.
You can also do quite a bit of studying here and take advantage of the free quizzes with each section:
History Study Guides - SparkNotes
Plus, you'll want to definitely, definitely use IC. 3-4 through each section, minimum.
I also used a highschool history book to brush up in more detail.
