| That's the first time I've heard that...Bio already has a ton of information for me to study, I would think I should stay away from the overpreparation of Barrons... | |

Barrons is way more organized and elaborate than Cliffs. It'll ensure you a 5, while I am not so sure about that for Cliffs. Cliffs has like a million sun-headings, and its simply inadequate for preparation for the exam. | |

| I'm taking Calc BC, both Phys C and Chem,
So, I guess its best to buy PR for all three, and 5 to 5 for phys C, and additional Barrons to supplement them? | |

| I just purchased PR for the Calc AB&BC, and its pretty good. One thing I've noticed already is that the 1st problem set for derivatives included questions needing the chain rule before it was introduced in the book, which could confuse self-studiers. I do not know if there are other glaring typos... I hope not! | |

| What is the best book for practice questions. A book with 10 tests or somehting would be ideal for me, I have all my notes and we have to outline when we read the textbook. I am looking at Ace your Midterms and Finals: US History, but its a college book, and I don't know what book to buy for Biology. Something like cliffs which has only 2 tests is not good for me. | |

| for AP Chemistry, use Princeton Review ONLY. It is a wonderful book. On top of the PR, make sure you take many practice FR and MC tests. | |

| For US History, I have REA and Princeton Review (06-07). REA is known to be a great prep, but PR has practice q's after each section. Which should I read if I only have time to read one? | |
