<p>For WHAP 5 Steps to a 5 isn’t too great. It is a bit disorganized. Barrons has a lot of information you don’t need to know, and it’s incomplete at some parts. The information it does have is pretty good though. For WHAP I’d use a combo of Barrons and Princeton Review.</p>
<p>What prep book has the practice tests for AP English Language? I’m trying to decide between the newest edition of Princeton Review and Cliff’s 4th edition.</p>
<p>Princeton is very bad at keeping its texts out of other contexts. </p>
<p>What i mean by that… </p>
<p>If you’ve ever read “A modest proposal” it reads off as a sadistic proposal with no other indication of anything otherwise. </p>
<p>If that text were in an AP exam… there would be some sort of footnote indicating its historical context (famine in Ireland or something) which would lead a reader to the correct tone of the piece which is satirical. </p>
<p>Cliffs is much better for preparing… and to be honest. I took the exam this year… if you’re well read… you don’t need preparation… no hard vocab.. no hard texts.. the FRQ’s were very easy to talk about.</p>
<p>ok so im taking these tests and I need some recommendations for books. Can someone help me. I already have books for the ones filled in, any comments or suggestions will help than you!</p>
<p>phychology-barron
environmental science-princeton
biology-princeton/McGraw Hill
Lit and comp-Barrons
Micro/Micro econ-Princeton
European History-
Phsycis B-
Calculus AB-
Statistics-
Human Geography-</p>
<p>Iffy courses
computer science A-
art history-</p>
<p>For physics B, I think PR is a good book for reviewing the materials.</p>
<p>princeton review is great for human geography and world history.</p>
<p>Which review books would you guys suggest for these classes? I typically buy Barron’s or Princeton Review, but I’ve seen so many other different suggestions so now I don’t know which one to buy!</p>
<p>AP Physics B-
AP English Language and Composition-
AP Chemistry-
AP Calculus BC-</p>
<p>Help is greatly appreciated!</p>
<p>For AP Chemistry get 5 steps to a 5. It’s concise, well organized, and has accurate practice tests. On another note, anyone know some good AP European History review books?</p>
<p>With the changes in the Bio exam, what book would work the best?</p>
<p>dotdotdot77: For Chemistry I would absolutely recommend Princeton Review. It covers everything you need to know on the exam. It does spend quite a few pages talking about how to “crack the exam” - no, you don’t need to know that. Just use common sense, eliminate options that you know are wrong, and always always always try to get some partial credit on the free response. PR lays out the formulas and stuff you need to know and the practice problems are excellent and have great explanations.</p>
<p>Need some suggestions for these tests I’m taking this year as a junior:
Environmental Science
Psychology
English Language and Composition
Physics B
Biology
US History
Art History</p>
<p>For psychology, don’t bother buying anything besides Barron’s. I self-studied with Barron’s and answered all of the MC in 20-30 minutes with plenty of time to double and triple check my answers. I think there were only a few questions that involved terms that Barron’s never mentioned.</p>
<p>For WHAP, don’t bother with 5 steps to a 5 or Kaplan’s. I used those two, PR, and Barron’s, and I found PR to be the most helpful. If you’re taking a class, then using Princeton Review should be sufficient but if you’re self-studying, I’d get Barron’s too.</p>
<p>And I’d recommend Cliffnotes for bio, but the exam was changed and the 2013 exam will be extremely different so … I don’t know what to recommend.</p>
<p>Taking the following exams senior year, and I would be very appreciative of book recommendations! I’d ideally like to use the books to supplement the class and also to study in the few months before the exams. </p>
<p>AP English Literature & Composition
AP Calculus AB
AP Environmental Science
AP U.S. Government & Politics
AP Microeconomics
AP Music Theory</p>
<p>Psych - Get Barron’s, listen to what @gomdorri said, it’s concise and thorough.
Biology - With the new test, it’s tough to say. If you can find one that focuses on new research and labs, that’s the one! Good luck on this one.
US History - Crash Course, hands down. Concise and pragmatic.
Art History - Annotate Mona Lisa worked fine for me, with a good textbook, of course.
World History - PR, it has good practice tests and what not.</p>
<p>I’m gonna take a stab and say the new PR for Bio will be my best bet. It’s updated for 2013, and all. Will still buy the Cliffnotes for more in depth explanations.</p>
<p>Anyone know any good books that are easy to understand, contain minimal if any errors, and have a lot of accurate practice tests?
Courses are the following:
AP Bio
AP Calc BC
AP Eng Lit (not so much this one though)</p>
<p>well i’d recommend using the ap site for free response questions as they have many tests from previous years</p>
<p>ap calc bc i’d recommend barrons and princeton review…helped me get a 5 
sorry can’t help with bio or lit</p>
<p>So, I’m almost done finishing up my AP book prep list, but I just need a little advice on which books to get for the following AP Exams:</p>
<p>AP Microeconomics
AP Macroeconomics
AP Statistics
AP United States Government & Politics</p>
<p>Hey so this year as a junior I’m taking:
AP Calculus AB
AP Physics B
AP Language & Composition
AP Gov & Politics</p>
<p>What review books would you recommend using along with the taught courses?</p>
<p>Also, I am thinking about self studying AP Macro/Micro, as I think I might want to go into something involving economics and my school doesn’t offer these courses. How feasible do you think it is for me to self study these and get at least a 4? If it’s possible, what books would you recommend using? (review books that would teach me the material or textbooks & review books). Thanks!</p>
<p>Princeton Review is decent enough for both Lang. and Government. The tests were reasonable enough, and it helped me go over material I needed to brush up on.</p>
