I just want to know how good the "Master the AP Chemistry" book is. I saw it on amazon and it got a good rating, so I'm curious. What other books do people reccommend for chemistry?

Someone that I know used Princeton Review for AP Chem and thought it was really good.

I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but for AP Chemistry, which textbook would be best for self-study (alongside an honors chemistry course)?
And is Macro/Microeconomics manageable with only the material in Barron's or 5 Steps to a 5?

@Salve! -- I'd go with Arco (what you were looking at) if you want your prep book to teach you the concepts and leave you with a pretty good understanding of the material. If your teacher is awesome, go with Princeton Review, which goes into more of the concepts. Also note that Arco revolves more around the computational aspect of Chemistry, while Princeton Review mainly talks about concepts.
FWIW: I found having both of them around helpful. :P Hope that helps!

Advice on AP Physics, both B and C exams...?
Which one is the best for each...?
Is AP Advantage: AP Physics C any good? Reviews seemed really good for it.

What is the difference between the AP version and non-AP version?
Is the link shown above the AP or non-AP version?

For Psych, almost everyone seems to praise Barron's, but I already bought the 5 Steps book, which got high marks on amazon. I plan on using it as my only resource for self study. Is the 5 Steps book enough?

Salve: I haven't used it personally, but I've heard from many people that:
a) Kaplan isn't very good (esp. b/c it has errors), and
b) Books that combine Physics B & C tend to have a disproportionate amount of material for B.

@ Knowah- I used Barrons' for Psych and absolutely loved it; easy 5. A friend of mine used 5 steps, loved it, and 5'ed the test. We had a joke of a class with raggedy old textbooks and just taught ourselves from our prep books. Easy stuff.
