Are Cliff's Biology and PR Chem good to use in conjunction with class and learning new material?

I only read the first page, but are these books only for preparation of the exams, or the class?

Lol I'm not concerned with the exam, but because I have a C- in AP world right now...it'll help if there was a shorter, easier guide of information...like basically a "Book" that helps you in your AP class itself. Maybe we can get a list on that?

(For example, I just saw a couple people say for AP Bio Campbell's or something was good to breeze through the class. Something like that.)

Campbell's Biology breezing through is not worth it. Get Cliff's!

Want something that will most likely guarantee a 5 for Micro/Macro economics? (Assuming you read the books and know most of the information).

"Economics for Dummies
Despite the title, if you're going to try to ace the AP Macro and Micro exams with just one book, I would have to say this is the best choice I'm aware of. Not too hard, not too easy. Although it has no practice exercises, your understanding of all concepts covered -- and in the way the College Board likes them covered, and using their terminology -- will be most meaningfully strengthened by an extended acquaintance with this volume. My colleagues and I have been repeatedly astonished to see how well done it is; it contains all the graphs, charts, and equations that you'll need. And though the book doesn't make one mention of the AP exams, honesty compels me to list it here because I regard it as the most comprehensively helpful prep guide for these 2 tests. The only disadvantage I can think of is that you might feel less than kingly with this title under your arms. But are you interested in results, or what?
ISBN-13: 978-0764557262 "


I suggest these 2 together is a very good combo! Economics for dummies and PR...

Discuss.

PR itself for Economics isn't too shabby. I read both the night before the exam and did well.

hi guys, i dont know what to buy for AP European His.
Although people here suggested Modern European History, I couldnt find a picture on google of the cover to go out to the bookstore.
Is that book popular or do I have to buy it online?
