<p>what do you guys recommend for ap micro/macro, ap chemistry, ap spanish, ap english literature?</p>
<p>It looks like the 5 steps to a 5 series and princeton review series are the best. However, I am going to be using different books as such:</p>
<p>AP Environmental(online)-5 steps to 5 as supplement, PR before exam
AP Physics B-Barron’s as supplement to class, PR before exam
AP Lit-Barron’s as supplement.
AP Calc-ACRO/Peterson’s-teacher is good, this seems like a great book to review concepts
AP Govt-5 steps to a 5 as complement to class
AP Macro/Micro(macro online)-5 steps to a 5, PR before exam</p>
<p>is this a good plan?</p>
<p>what do you guys recommend for ap micro/macro, ap chemistry, ap spanish, ap english literature?</p>
<p>and for the books for 5 steps to a 5, which version do i get? the 2010-2011 version or the 2012-2013 version?</p>
<p>based on my experiences. i took these APs this year:</p>
<p>calculus (5): barron’s
statistics (5): mcgraw hill
english language and composition (5): nothing needed, it’s just reading comprehension and writing
US History (5): AMSCO and REA crash course
macro/micro economics (both 5s): combination of princeton review and barron’s
psychology (5): barron’s for sure
human geography (4): princeton review ( i studied one night for this lol)</p>
<p>Since there is a new policy for AP scoring, are the 2010 and earlier versions considered less worthwhile than versions 2011 and later?</p>
<p>AimHigh, well, the MC scoring formula will be different for the practice tests in the books but in some cases, even the 2011 books didnt have the new formula. I don’t think the new versions will have different questions so if you don’t mind the wrong formula, I think they should be the same.</p>
<p>REA was great for AP Calculus, but not that helpful for Chemistry. I would definitely recommend PR for European History and Chemistry.</p>
<p>Acro/Peterson’s AP Calculus is also great as a supplement to class. Direct Hits is great for APUSH, combined with AMSCO.</p>
<p>Is 5 steps to a 5 good for AP Physics?</p>
<p>suggestions for Euro, Gov, and Physics B??</p>
<p>physics B is self study btw.</p>
<p>anddddd environmental, i was wondering if just PR was enough or if there are any other good books since its self study also.</p>
<p>5 steps to a 5 is also good for ap environmental, but apparently smartypants guide is great if you can get a copy.</p>
<p>Hi guys, I’m planning to take AP Bio next year. I looked at several reviews on amazon. Since I don’t have much money so I planned on buying 1 AP bio prep book.</p>
<p>I’m considering between Cliffs, 5 steps to a 5, Barrons and PR. Any recommendation which one is the best?</p>
<p>Thanxx so much.</p>
<p>i plan to self study everything
is this a good list of books to buy?</p>
<p>computer science - barrons
stats- barrons
macro+micro- 5 steps to a 5
Calc BC - PR</p>
<p>( we do calc at school but in german so its not completely selfstudy)</p>
<p>Do you guys think that these are a good set of books to buy </p>
<p>AP Spanish Language: REA
AP Psychology: Barron’s
AP US History: AMSCO
AP BC Calc: Princeton
AP Chem: Princeton </p>
<p>Also, what would you recommend for AP Environmental?</p>
<p>@BIRDLOVERS</p>
<p>AP Physics - Either Princeton Review or Barron’s</p>
<p>@BlackBunny103</p>
<p>Cliffs is awesome!</p>
<p>@minhtri1995</p>
<p>For macro and micro, I recommend PR, but the others are great.</p>
<p>@hershey21</p>
<p>I don’t know much about REA for AP Spanish Lang, but Barron’s definitely prepares for the exam. The rest are fine.</p>
<p>As for AP Environmental, I recommend getting Princeton Review and/or Smartypants Guide</p>
<p>AP Biology - CliffsAP AP Biology (3rd Edition) for studying; Barron’s AP Biology for diagrams/illustrations
AP Chemistry - The Princeton Review
AP Physics B - The Princeton Review (There are a few minor typos in the book though)</p>
<p>Oh thanxx so much guys for the useful info.</p>
<p>Has anyone tried 5 steps to a 5 for any AP subject? If yes, pls lemme know your personal opinion about it (I don’t really trust reviews on Amazon lol ). Thanxx guys</p>
<p>^5 steps to a 5 is a pretty decent series. I’m going to be using a couple of their books for next year’s APs.</p>
<p>BIRDLOVERS:</p>
<p>I haven’t taken the AP Environmental exam yet, but I have yet to hear one positive review of *5 Steps to a 5 for AP Environmental Science * on CC. </p>

<p>BlackBunny103:</p>
<p>I have used two - one for AP Euro and one for Chemistry I (honors). </p>
<p>The AP Euro review book was great. The practice tests were the best part - they really simulated the actual exam. </p>
<p>I used the AP Chem one for Chem I Honors, and it was immensely helpful. </p>
<p>I was a B/C student in Chem I until I started using the book. After I started using the book to supplement my teacher’s lectures and textbook notes, I aced my Chem I final - thank you 5 Steps to a 5! </p>
