<p>I’ve been going through these forums seeking an AP Environmental Science prep book, but I cannot seem to find one that is a solid winner. The three that I cannot choose between because I frankly don’t know what’s best are: Princeton Review/Barron’s/Smarty Pants. </p>
<p>For people who self-studied for this exam, please tell me what your experience was with these prep books and why you think the one you chose was great.</p>
<p>Thanks in advance!!!</p>
<p>So, which of these five is best?:
Princeton Review
Barron’s
Smarty Pants
REA
Kaplan</p>
<p>Honestly, does no one have an answer to my question?</p>
<p>I’m going to be using PR to self-study.</p>
<p>May I ask how old you are?</p>
<p>I turned 18 recently, high school senior…for the past 3 semesters (junior year S2/Senior S1/Senior S2) i’ve been working exponentially harder…senioritis is a total BS excuse created by lazy, yet capable students to satisfy their own inflated egos, imo</p>
<p>I’m also using PR for the exam.</p>
<p>PR, Smartypants to supplement</p>
<p>^ Second AimHigh, but definitely don’t underestimate APES like I did, you’ll regret it come the exam.</p>
<p>I used PR this year. I read the entire book the week before the test, with no previous practice, and I definitely got at least a 4, hopefully a 5. :)</p>
<p>PR is definitely the way to go for ES (actually, PR is the way to go for almost every other AP, too :P)!</p>
<p>Would a class with a good teacher exclude the need for a prep book?</p>
<p>nope. you need a prep book for every ap exam because a class can not cover every topic in most exams(exceptions with very good teachers who possess time management)</p>
<p>Why can’t a class cover every topic if a prep book can?</p>
<p>I took the class but sstill, PR PR PR PR PR!</p>
