| Im kinda screwed...
I have to self study micro macro and psych and havent started yet. For econs i noticed people say princeton, so if i use that baby am i all good?
as for psych i peeked at the princeton, kaplan, rea, barrons and five steps to a five. It seems that five steps to a five covers practically everything that the rest tend to leave out here and there and works really well with our Benjamin textbook thats like 10 years old but supposedly one of the best. Like by reading 5 steps to a 5 im able to pull mostly B's on the test only cuz the terms they use these days are a bit newer than the text's. anybody else notice 5 steps to a five is kickass, or is it just me? I NNEEEEEEEEEDD a five on psych. HELPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! | |

| hi, i had just started self studying economics and psychology, exactly the same with you , and i used princeton's for eco and barron's for psychology, i think the barron's is really good and probably would guarantee me a five, but the princetion's economics seems not that authoritive, and the graphs are somewhat hard to memorize.
i think if you start now, you may have to work a little bit hard to get those things done, because there's just about one month and a half left. | |

| i would recommend cliff's for bio.... i didn't learn **** in ap bio last year, but i still got a 5 probably because of this book and luck.
i read less than half the book, but what i from the topics i read in there that morning, it happened to be what was exactly in the ap free response questions (sheer luck), and so yes, it's excellent preparation. isn't overly detailed, but it is just right for what you need. | |

those were the books I used last year for the 8 APs I used last year, and it was golden (got all 5's) [not pictured: AP Music Theory] So I'd say I recommend them 
When I was in my AP-craze mode last year, I used CC a lot, and if you do a simple search, you'll find some GOLDEN threads on AP help materials (including online ones, which was very helpful to me) | |

| I recommend the AMSCO for APUSH. Such a great book. It's really thick, but it's really only because the font is like font 12 and there are dbq'ish things at the end of each chapter. It's the best book for APUSH possible, with the exception of Princeton (but I believe PR cuts it a little short). With AMSCO, the organization makes it really easy to connect era's and what not.
Ever done the P.E.R.S.I.A thing in class yet? Politics.Economics...etc.... Yeah. The book seems to pinpoint those down just for you to own the AP Exam.
Anyway, I was planning on self studying AP Compsci but there's no prep book on the list yet.. anyone have any opinions on what would be nice? | |

| How is barrons for AP Physics B? I think the PR book is too big. I only have 3 weeks. | |
