<p>Is anyone using the 2006 edition Kaplan review book for AP Chem? I ordered it from Amazon because I liked the 2005 edition, which I took a look at at my local library. The 2005 edition was really detailed and looked to be pretty useful. I got the 2006 edition in the mail and to my dismay, it was shrunk down quite a bit. There isn’t nearly as much content in it as the 2005 edition.</p>
<p>Basically, will the 2006 Kaplan be enough to get a 5 or should I get PR? PR is supposedly the best.</p>
<p>My teacher has been teaching the class since its inception in the 1950s, and has maintained ever since the CliffsAP came out that they have the best guide on Chemistry.</p>
<p>I have the Cliffs book, but I’m only using it for the labs. It doesn’t explain concepts very well, just the math.</p>
<p>I have the Princeton Review book already, and it is amazing. It is insanely beefy, but it goes through the concepts without getting bogged down in the technical jargon, which helps a lot. It is also organized into what I think is a much more sensible order than some textbooks I’ve looked at.</p>
<p>I used the 2005 edition last year. I found it really useful and I think I ended up with an A in my AP Chem class due to it. I hated our textbook because I would fall asleep with it. </p>
<p>So yes I reccomend Kaplan</p>
