How is this book? I really didn't learn much in my actual class, so I pretty much need a book to teach me all of it over again. Oh yeah, Barron's isn't the kind of book for me, I only have 2 weeks left.
i'm in the same boat as you, but i actually have the book. it seems friendly, i'm also using the same company for history--been at that for a whole month. i just get discouraged with chem, so when i planned to open it two weeks ago, it didn't happen. but alas i have found another! so maybe i'll open it today if you open yours. deal?
idk about the 5 steps to a 5 book. I looked over Fast track to a 5 book though. Its okay although my teacher told me that there are better ones. So i recently switched over to the PR book and i hope to finish it in 2 weeks :[
I have the same concern for the 5 steps to a 5 ap chemistry. I actually haven't opened it yet either...anyway I have a 3-4 day plan to study the whole thing after I cram for spanish and history.
Barron is horrible for all subjects I think they exaggerate ap difficulty...but 5 steps for apush is pretty bad too so i don't know...guess we'll have to see.
Step 1: take the class
Step 2: pay attention in class
Step 3: do well in the class
Step 4: Start studying at least 2-3 weeks before the ap test
Step 5: take a couple practice tests before the ap test.
if you don't meet at least 3 of these (namely the first three), you're hopeless
