<p>I know theres a huge review book thread at the top.. but every other person says something else so it's confusing haha</p>
<p>So what did you guys use or hear about that were the best books for these subjects? More on the self-study side though because our teachers aren't that good. (and good practice tests)</p>
<p>The best book for Calc BC, I've heard from many sources, is Princeton Review. I didn't actually use it that much; I mostly practiced from CB's older tests and classroom material, but apparently it's amazing.</p>
<p>I've heard a lot about Cliffs for AP Bio. Many here swear by it.</p>
<p>Wouldn't know about Envi Sci, tho</p>
<p>yeah the thread says PR for Calc</p>
<p>for Bio its mixed some say barrons but some say its too much information. ill go with cliffts</p>
<p>i think PR for env
thanks</p>
<p>I took calc AB, APES, bio, ap euro this year.</p>
<p>I imagine BC is like AB, just practice FRQ's online.. a prepbook really isn't necessary. (I did do a few Barron's problems though.)</p>
<p>APES worked well for me with a mix of PR/Barron's during the year. I can't really comment on the AP test because I crammed 6 hours for that test. (I oddly got a 5, even though I hadn't had the class since January) Barron's is definitely overly specific in several sections though. PR does skimp on several as well though. So, I got both.</p>
<p>Bio.. I felt Barron's was decently good. I did really well in the class though (within top 5 of 120) consistently.. so, I don't know. I crammed that test with barron's, an all-nighter. I've heard PR is okay. I had a friend who used Cliff's, said it was decent as well.</p>
<p>EnviSci, don't get barrons. almost none of it was on the test.</p>
<p>I thought Cliff's for Biology was absolutely fantastic. It covered everything that could be on the test. Very well, too.</p>
<p>I'd go with Cliffs for Bio--that's what I used.</p>
