I noticed that in AP Physics C a lot of the work consists of physics physic input in MAGIC CALC BOX==>yields an answer. I was under the impression that I need the Calc for Physics before I start no?

<p>I’m sure that it depends on the school, but many people take Calculus and Physics C simultaneously.</p>
<p>For AP Physics B, calculus is not needed, but for AP Physics C, calculus is normally a prerequisite or taken concurrently. :)</p>
<p>Barron’s tends to be what I always turn to.</p>
<p>is zumdahl a good textbook for chemistry? i’ve taken chem classes before but i want to self study for the ap exam</p>
<p>Physics? For what, B or C?</p>
<p>REPLY: Zumdahl…
Do try Chemistry: The Central Science
If you are using the textbook, use Princeton Review as a study aid.
If you are not, then use Barrons.<br>
This latter option is an overall time-saver.
Good Luck!</p>
<p>for Chemistry: The Central Science, do i need to get the AP edition?</p>
<p>Ok, these are the books I have used and the ones I’d actually recommend:
AP US History - PR is good if you get through all of it
AP Macroeconomics - PR is the best, DONT use CliffsAP (It’s horrible)
AP US Government - CliffsAP, it’s very complete and has good practice tests
AP Psychology - Barrons, the best prep book I’ve ever seen
AP English Language - you can’t really study, but Master the AP EL exam is good
AP Latin - REA, it’s the only real book, also excelability in advanced Latin, since Vergil is the only test left get the Vergil Workbook (those are absolutely awesome)</p>
<p>Just my opinion…</p>
<p>Has anyone tried the Master the AP Chemistry test book?</p>
<p>for chemistry the central science, i do like the ap edition… so yea go for it</p>
<p>^is it enough for me to get a 5?</p>
<p>I just want to know how good the “Master the AP Chemistry” book is. I saw it on amazon and it got a good rating, so I’m curious. What other books do people reccommend for chemistry?</p>
<p>Someone that I know used Princeton Review for AP Chem and thought it was really good.</p>
<p>I don’t know if this has been mentioned already, but for AP Chemistry, which textbook would be best for self-study (alongside an honors chemistry course)?</p>
<p>And is Macro/Microeconomics manageable with only the material in Barron’s or 5 Steps to a 5?</p>
<p>@Salve! – I’d go with Arco (what you were looking at) if you want your prep book to teach you the concepts and leave you with a pretty good understanding of the material. If your teacher is awesome, go with Princeton Review, which goes into more of the concepts. Also note that Arco revolves more around the computational aspect of Chemistry, while Princeton Review mainly talks about concepts. </p>
<p>FWIW: I found having both of them around helpful. 
Hope that helps!</p>
<p>Protagonizer - I’ve heard that Chemistry: The Central Science by Brown/LeMay is great. </p>

<p>Advice on AP Physics, both B and C exams…?
Which one is the best for each…?
Is AP Advantage: AP Physics C any good? Reviews seemed really good for it.</p>
<p>What is the difference between the AP version and non-AP version?
Is the link shown above the AP or non-AP version?</p>
<p>For Psych, almost everyone seems to praise Barron’s, but I already bought the 5 Steps book, which got high marks on amazon. I plan on using it as my only resource for self study. Is the 5 Steps book enough?</p>
<p>Has anyone used the “Kaplan AP Physics B & C” book? How good is it?</p>
