<p>thanks in advance</p>
<p>Are the CD versions of Barron’s worth shelling an addition ~8 dollars for? Or can I buy the non CD version</p>
<p>It says it includes 2 extra practice tests and some review material or something</p>
<p>Has anyone had experience with the CD really making a difference?</p>

<p>Check out my son’s website at [Hank’s</a> History Hour](<a href=“Hank’s History Hour - HANKSHISTORYHOUR.COM”>http://www.hankshistoryhour.com/)</p>
<p>He is putting up podcasts for each of the various chapters of AP Euro. These 45 minute podcasts have been helpful for many students across the country. He is a senior and took AP Euro two years ago and got a 5. He will also be putting up a study guide close to the test date and will also set up chat room on the site where he will lead discussions closer to the test date.</p>
<p>I have decided to self-study AP Euro and Psych. </p>
<p>So far these are the books I have seen reccomended most, but I only want to buy two for each subject. Which two are the best? </p>
<p>AP Euro:
Modern European History
Barrons
REA (which stands for what?)<br>
PR </p>
<p>Psych:
Barrons
Psych 8th Edition
PR
5 Steps to a 5 </p>
<p>Also, please keep in mind I am looking for the books that will get me a 4/5 without a textbook. Thanks.</p>
<p>Sorry to double-post, but anyone?</p>
<p>We really need to consolidate this thread, and the list, once more. It’s sort of getting out of hand.</p>
<p>If you want to pass an exam without a textbook, and you have a good amount of time, then Barron’s is the way to go. Do note that it has a lot of extraneous information, and the tests are more difficult than the real AP’s, but if you study out of it, you are assured at least a 4, in my opinion. Princeton Review’s books are good, but cover less information, and are better for studyers without a lot of time to spare. If you think you have time to read through the review books before the exam, go for Barron’s. Otherwise, Princeton Review is the way to go.</p>
<p>For European History and Psychology, I personally am going to get textbooks from my teachers and get the Princeton Review books this year. This strategy’s worked for 6 other AP’s before, and will hopefully work this year again.</p>
<p>Sorry, another question. How often do they update the prep books? Should I buy my Euro and Psych prep books now, or will they be updated in January? Specifically, PR and Barrons</p>
<p>The new Princeton Review editions come out this month (12/31/07.) You might as well wait two more weeks and get the 2008 editions, especially since they’re going to be the same price per book. The editions might not be very different, but for some exams that are changed, like Chemistry was last year, the new books would be useful.</p>
<p>Don’t really know much about Barron’s, but I think it’s the same sort of thing: books don’t change very often. If there isn’t going to be a new edition in the next few weeks, go ahead with the 2006/2007 edition of Barron’s.</p>
<p>Did anyone else know Barron’s made pet books? My sister got a book from them on hamsters this weekend… Strange..</p>
<p>Great, then I am going to wait. Hmm, I think I will check to see if Barrons is updating.</p>
<p>sorry if this question has been asked before,
but what textbook is good for psych?
Something which isnt giant, but isnt to small either.
I plan on getting Barrons, and 5 steps to a 5 for it, but i think a textbook will help, i think?? </p>
<p>thx</p>

<p>How do you know when the new edition is going to come out?</p>
<p>OKgirl, for Psych the Barrons 2008 edition is already out. I was at B and N last week and they had it. By the way, is it worth it to spend the extra money for the CD Rom version?</p>
<p>No, do not buy the CD versions of Barrons… in my experience, it has just been the book copied on to a CD (so you’re not gaining any additional resources… it might be more convenient for you to read on the computer, though, and you don’t have to grade the tests, the computer does it automatically)</p>
<p>Almost all Barrons books have already been updated or will be updated on January 1, 2008 <- I highly recommend getting the new versions (I already have the new chemistry and biology books and just today ordered calculus and statistics)</p>
