<p>Which book did you use to study for the exams and what scores did you receive? I currently have the 5 Steps to a 5(Calculus), Cliff's Notes(Biology), and the Princeton Review(European History). I would love to 5 all these exams, and I am willing to put the work in.</p>
<p>bump...
i really need to know.</p>
<p>There's a consolidated AP book suggestion thread in the AP subforum (you have to go to the SAT/ACT forum first).</p>
<p>Cliffnotes for bio is the best, IMO.</p>
<p>General advice - don't use Princeton Review, I just think it's kind of a shady company. Any other book should be fine for AP's. Cliff is great for Bio, by the way.</p>
<p>Go through Barrons if you are really dedicated.</p>
<p>barrons is the str8est stuff you can use, princeton review has good review tests, but barrons is the best, with calc doing pratice tests is better then looking at notes (4 on AB exam) but for euro just reading through notes is the only way (5 on euro exam).</p>
<p>What's wrong with PR? </p>
<p>DEFINITELY use PR for European History. Our teacher did not do ANYTHING. In fact, our first teacher died halfway through the year, and we got transferred to another teacher, who obviously did not know what she was doing, so we spent most classes watching foreign films (in their respective languages)... </p>
<p>I spent the entire week before the Euro exam cramming the PR book into my head. Landed a 5, and I'm NOT a history/memorization person :)</p>
<p>I've head that REA is excellent review as well.</p>
<p>Use Modern European History by Birdsall Viault for AP Euro.</p>
<p>Yeah, Princeton Review's quality depends a lot on the subject. For Calculus (and physics, and government) Princeton Review is pretty good.</p>
<p>For certain other AP tests, like Bio, it kinda stinks.</p>
