How much work will I have next year?

Test Preparation AP Test Preparation
1

<p>I am taking these AP’s plus a few other easy classes which I won’t bother mentioning.</p>

<p>AP Public Policy
AP Microeconomics
AP Calculus BC
AP Chemistry
AP Literature</p>

<p>PP is like US History and Government.</p>

<p>When should I start studying seriously or am I basically screwed?</p>

<p>Also, what books should I purchase? Generally, I like 1 for each course. Maybe for 1 or 2 classes I’ll purchase a second review book to compare and confirm.</p>

<p>PP - ?
Econ - Princeton
Calc - ?
Chem - ?
Lit - ?</p>

<p>AP Public Policy == AP USH + AP US Govt? </p>

<p>I would suggest the following:
AP USH:
If teacher is good, get Kaplan or PR.
If teacher is bad, get REA.
AP US Govt:
If teacher is good, get PR.
If teacher is bad, get Barrons.</p>

<p>AP Calculus: Petersons (the practice tests are pretty close to the actual test, although there may be typos that can be annoying, but if you’re a math/sci person, you should be fine)</p>

<p>AP Chemistry: PR</p>

<p>AP Literature: Kind of hard to study for, but I got Cliffs, because they have 6 practice tests, and the author has written the AP test before.</p>

<p>BTW, 1 AP review book for each class is enough. As for studying, you can start studying when the school year starts as in do the review books along with the class. But I mean if you start in March, I’m sure you’re going to be fine.</p>

<p>REA is pretty comprehensive, and is actually a pretty dense read. I do think it gives you a substantial amount of information, and upon reading my REA US History book, I feel very confident about my results for the AP exam.</p>

<p>AP Public Policy is AP US Gov’t only, not history (I took APUSH this year). I don’t know why my school has it named that way.</p>

<p>It looks like I’ll get PR for Chem and PP. Econ … probably PR so that’s 3 PR.</p>

<p>I never heard of Peterson’s but will check it out.</p>

<p>NuclearPakistan, thanks. I used REA for European History AP but gave up a minute through and switched to PR. :slight_smile: Stalking me, aren’t you? ;)</p>
