Best Review Books for AP Economics, AP Gov, and AP Calc

Which books are the best to review for AP Economics, AP Gov, and AP Calc. I only have a week to study for gov and calc and I want to just read and do the practice tests from one review book for each subject and get the best understanding I can so I want opinions on the best possible books. For eco, I will also have one week after I finish my ap eco and ap gov tests and I want a review book that will give a good understand of microeconomics and macroeconomics. Any advice guys?

Barron's 2008 version for AP Gov. is excellent and very comprehensive, and will ensure you get a 5 on the exam.

Whatever you do, DONT GET THE "5 Steps to a 5" BOOK FOR GOV. It's the worst book ever - it's short and all it does is define a few words, and doesn't go over explanations for answers or essays or anything. Seriously I began almost crying once I realized what a waste of paper it was, how some retards could actually buy it, and how I wasted $15 for some crap.

I liked Princeton Review for AP Gov. I definately got a 5 on it. I am trying to read Barrons for AP Macroeconomics, but I don't really like it.

PR for AP Econ is concise and good, but under the assumption that you can understand everything by just skimming through.
