AP calc & AP U.S. History

Test Preparation
1

<p>What's the best text book to self-study AP U.S. History? I know that the "REA" book is great for prep for the SAT II or the AP... I've taken 3 "regular" semesters of U.S. history in my HS--- no honors offered at all, and u.s. history isn't one of the four APs -- I'm wondering if I'd even need to get an actual U.S. text book, because I know quite a bit already... Would I be better off with just the "REA" study guide thing to save time and money? I plan to take the U.S. History SAT II exam and the AP exam. </p>

<p>I'm having issues with AP calc courses, too. The only AP's in my school are chem, bio, calc, and English--- They told me that I wouldn't be able to take any until I was a senior... I wanted to take both Pre-calc and Calc this year b/c I love math but the lady that teaches calc is like the chair on the math board and she's a real ***** --- I had her last year, and she REFUSED to let me take it until my senior year... Anyway... I'd like to know what the best books are to self-study calc ab, bc & multi-var... Oh yeah.. What books are good to prep for the SAT II: Math IIC ?</p>

<p>Thank you for all of your input.</p>

<p>For APUSH get The American Pageant textbook and The Princeton Review exam guide. Helped me get a 5. For AP Calculus, get Kennedy's blue book for a textbook. As far as exam guides go, Barron's is good for hard problems and practice, but it's a little light on explanations. Princeton Review is good too. I strongly suggest going to the Collegeboard site and ordering all the Free Response questions from the past few decades. Doing them and learning from mistakes will help. I guarantee it.</p>
