<p>I’ve constantly read that Princeton Review is the best for AP study guides, but my school doesn’t offer AP courses and I’m studying everything on my own. In my experience studying for SAT IIs, Princeton Review books are always easier and cover way less material than, say, Barrons. So, from the perspective of someone who has never been exposed to AP-level material, will the Princeton Review guide be enough? Will it cover all the material I need to know? Or should I get a harder study guide like Barrons just to be safe? The APs I’m planning to take are AP Biology, AP Chemistry BC, AP Physics C (both exams), AP Calculus, AP Statistics, and AP English Language.</p>
<p>Also, when I used the PR book for AP Bio, it seemed like the material is on the same level as the material covered by Barron in their SAT II Biology book. Is this normal? For an exam that’s supposed to cover college-level material, PR’s questions made it seem awfully easy. In fact, my high school biology course had harder material. Is self studying with the PR books really sufficient for a 5 on the AP exams?</p>
