<p>Should I bother getting a review book for AP Calculus BC if I have a very good and respectable teacher and am relatively competent at learning math? </p>
<p>Also, will Barron’s suffice for AP Computer Science A if I also have a teacher of the same caliber as the one that teaches AP Calculus BC? I’m mainly looking for a review book that is readily accessible should I forget topics in the class, particularly in the weeks leading up to the AP exam.</p>
<p>What are good books for APUSH?</p>
<p>has anyone here taken ap US gov? what book did you use? i’ve heard people endorsing PR and saying barrons is bad…any confirmation from those who used both?? </p>
<p>btw, best books for a few categories are agreed upon. this should reduce the common questions</p>
<p>Statistics: Barrons
Psychology: Barrons
Human Geography: Barrons(PR is pretty similar tho)
USH: Direct Hits + REA crash course(same author, but crash course is a mini 200pg book)
Comp Gov: Ethel Woods</p>
<p>i’m self-studying AP us gov. I have a lot of background from APUSH though. I’m using PR/Crash course and Hippo campus .org videos on American government.</p>
<p>PR is great, but Crash course is a MUST.</p>
<p>What is the best review to self study AP Environmental Science and still get a 4 or 5?</p>
<p>Hello guys. I am not taking Government (well, I am taking it online so I won’t learn much) and I am a senior. I was wondering if I could pull off a 3-5 just with PR if I study the book a lot. Thanks.</p>
<p>can anyonne please suggest me good book for computer science AP.</p>
<p>For computer science, I had Barron’s and my score went up from a 67/80 on the diagnostic to an 80/80 on the last practice test so it was very helpful. Ended up with a 5 on the AP test.</p>
<p>How good are the following books for self-study? (using only the book)</p>
<p>AP Psych - CliffsAP, 5 Steps to a 5
AP Stat - CliffsAP, 5 Steps to a 5
AP Enviro - Princeton Review, 5 Steps to a 5

<p>I’m starting to study for AP World History soon. I have the Princeton Review and 5 Steps to a 5. Should I even bother with 5 Steps to a 5? And I also have flashcards for the course made by Princeton, will these be useful?</p>
<p>I am also looking to purchase review guides for AP USH and AP Euro for next year. Should I wait to purchase these until the most recent versions are released? I do like to begin reading during summer to get a feel for the class before stepping into school. Or will a previous version for both guides be sufficient? Thanks.</p>
<p>So Barron’s is best for English Lit and PR for us gov, right?</p>
<p>Hellow!</p>
<p>I am currently studying for AP Bio, AP Chem, and AP Stats. Can you recommend me THREE best prep books for each subject (my local library has huge sets of AP prep books with dazzling variety)?</p>
<p>AP Bio - </p>
<p>AP Chem - </p>
<p>AP Stats -</p>
<p>^
AP Bio- Best is Cliffnotes but I heard Barron’s is good too
AP Chem- Definitely PR but also use Barron’s
AP Stats - Barrons, Cliffnotes, PR</p>
<p>Hi, I wanted to know the recommended books and the up to date books right now as I need to prepare for my AP’s in two months. Also I need to know what is the difference between English Language and Composition & English Literature and composition. Please tell me the books for these APs thanks a lot for your effort :)</p>
