<p>Okay I am going to be taking four AP classes this upcoming school year. I would like to know what AP prep books would be the most useful for the classes I will be taking, and whether or not it will be necessary.</p>

<p>I’m taking:
AP Bio
AP Lang
AP Psych
AP U.S</p>

<p>I was thinking of buying these prep books online.
APUSH - crash course [Amazon.com:</a> AP U.S. History Crash Course (REA: The Test Prep AP Teachers Recommend) (9780738608136): Larry Krieger: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/U-S-History-Crash-Course-REA/dp/0738608130/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1282629397&sr=1-1-spell]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/U-S-History-Crash-Course-REA/dp/0738608130/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1282629397&sr=1-1-spell)</p>

<p>AP LANG - I have no clue which one would be good or if I even need one.</p>

<p>AP Bio - Cliff notes/Princeton Review/Barrons [Amazon.com:</a> CliffsAP Biology (Cliffs Ap Biology) (9780470097649): Phillip E. Pack Ph.D.: Books](<a href=“http://www.amazon.com/CliffsAP-Biology-Cliffs-Ap/dp/0470097647/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1282628933&sr=8-1-fkmr0]Amazon.com:”>http://www.amazon.com/CliffsAP-Biology-Cliffs-Ap/dp/0470097647/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1282628933&sr=8-1-fkmr0)</p>

<p>If you recommend any other brands, please tell me about it. I’m open to suggestions.
Also, I have provided a link to the ones I am leaning towards on buying. I’m not too sure if they are the latest ones though. So if I were to buy the ones I have provided a link for, would those be suitable? Thank you! :)</p>

<p>There is also a link for the Barron’s AP Psychology study guide without a CD-rom included, if you’d prefer saving $10.</p>

<p>bio get barrons
apush- get like any two and actually use them during the year, read them along with your chapter</p>

<p>I recommend barrons for bio and kaplan for APUSH. And like mccormick said, use it often throughout the year !</p>

<p>Oh okay, thank you.
So I have looked through the entire “Consolidated book suggestions for AP” thread
and I realized for APUSH many recommended AMSCO.
I want to know if there was something besides REA, crash course and AMSCO that is also pretty good. Like how about 5 steps or Barrons?
I’m not much for a detailed person, I just prefer the facts given to me straightforward.
I used PR for APWH and I must say, it didn’t work out for me.
It had too much information and I couldn’t absorb all the information in time.</p>

<p>I think I will be checking out these:
AP Bio - Barron’s (cliffs is on a website already, the entire thing! which is great!)
AP USH - 5 Steps/Barrons (?)
AP Pysch - Barrons</p>
