<p>These are the prep books I am planning to buy, and I would appreciate your input on whether or not you think I have chosen the best one for each subject, and if not, which you would recommend.</p>
<p>AP Stats - Barron’s
AP Environmental - Barron’s
AP Physics 1 - PR
AP Bio (self-study) - Barron’s
AP US Gov - Crash Course
AP Macroeconomics - PR</p>
<p>Also, if you know of any other helpful sources (e.g. YouTube), please let me know.</p>
<p>Any suggestions for the following classes would be much appreciated: </p>
<p>AP Biology
AP English Language
AP Environmental Science
AP US History
AP Psychology </p>
<p>@JiuJitsuNerd For AP Gov, REA Crash Course is an absolute must! I cannot emphasize this enough. </p>
<p>@ZealousStudent I’ll tell you what I’ve heard - CliffsNotes for Bio and Lang, AMSCO/REA/PR for APUSH, and Barron’s for Psychology. I haven’t heard a negative thing about any of those books for any of those classes. I’m taking Language and APUSH like you are this year, and those are the books I ordered (besides AMSCO because my school is ordering a brand new class set of AMSCO books that I can use).</p>
<p>Any suggestions for AP Macroeconomics? Barron’s, PR, Crash Course, or 5 Steps?</p>
<p>@ZealousStudent REA and The Essential Content, both by Larry Krieger, are great for APUSH.</p>
<p>Suggestions needed please for:
AP Bio - which is best for new format, still Cliffs?
AP Calc A/B
AP Gov
AP Psych
AP Music Theory
AP Latin</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>I need suggestions for AP Government and Macroeconomics. </p>
<p>Thanks</p>
<p>@Shelledba, after reading through numerous forums and reviews, I would recommend the following (these are the ones I bought to read through this year):</p>
<p>•AP Gov - Crash Course by Larry Krieger
•AP Psych - Barron’s</p>
<p>For anyone with experience with previous AP Physics B or C review books, which would you recommend for AP Physics 1 (e.g., Barron’s, PR, 5 Steps)?</p>
<p>suggestions for the following please:
AP Chemistry
AP Physics 1, 2
AP Psych</p>
<p>@JiuJitsuNerd and @18d0m1n4t3:</p>
<p>I’m currently using Princeton Review for AP Physics C self study and I really like it. It’s concise and clear, and so much easier to read than my textbook. </p>
<p>However I also have some physics background from AP Calculus BC last year and Differential Equations this year, both of which were/are physics heavy (we keep deriving physics equations in Differential Equations).</p>
<p>The previous few posters have recommended Barron’s for AP Psychology, but I haven’t taken it so I don’t know. </p>
<p>Generally, I just like going to the library and reading through a few. I pick the one that I enjoy reading–Kaplan was really good for having tons of practice questions, but I just couldn’t understand what they were saying. That almost always is Princeton Review, but I mix in other ones too, as well as websites like Khan Academy.</p>
<p>@College123college I used Barrons for Calc BC, and CliffNotes for Biology. Got 5s on both. Didn’t take World History or Macro, sorry :|</p>
<p>Please suggest books for AP Physics 1 and 2.</p>
<p>AP Physics 1 and 2 are new this year so there aren’t any recommended books. You are own your own unfortunately.
I need suggestions for AP World History.</p>
<p>Need some advice for next year’s ap possibilities (please note that these are absolutely not final-there are a lot on this list but a lot of my ib classes require ap tests anyway)- self study ones have a *, so if you could recommend textbooks/prep books for those, i would really appreciate it.</p>
<p>Calc BC
Chemistry
Music Theory*
or Art History*
Spanish
World History
European History*
Language*</p>
I need help figuring out what review books to use for AP Chemistry, AP Calculus, and AP Econ.
I need to get a 5 on AP Calc AB. I dont know if I should get Petersons or PR…leaning toward Petersons. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Prep book suggestions please -
AP Chemistry
AP Environmental Science
Any suggestions in studying computer science w/o taking a class on it? Will barrons do it or should I just search up topics and try to learn? Any feedback would be great. I’m fairly good at math so logic won’t be any issue.
Hi all,
My recommendations-
Chemistry: Barron’s (companion); PR (last minute review)
MY questions - (newest versions of…; listed in order of my understanding of hierarchy by usefulness)
Biology - CliffNotes, Barron’s, or PR?
Calculus BC - Barron’s, PR, or How to Prepare for AP Calculus Test
French - Barron’s book & flashcards, REA, or PR
Statistics - Barron’s, 5 Steps to a 5, or PR
US Gov - REA: Crash Course, 5 Steps to a 5, Barron’s, PR, or Kaplan
Thanks in advance!
Any recommendations for:
Stats
US Gov
Environmental
Lit
