<p>I am studying for the AP Chem exam with the textbook that we use...and I am thinking about using CliffsAP on the side...is that a decent prep book to use?</p>
<p>u should use princeton review instead
ive heard its better than cliffsnotes at AP Chemistry</p>
<p>Do not use the Zumdahl book.. It is extremely confusing..</p>
<p>Use Barrons SAT II Chemistry book.. It is very good at explaining topics..
then Brown Chemistry book is also very good..</p>
<p>for practice testing, try REA AP Chemistry</p>
<p>wow. i personally like zumdahl. im using it in conjuction with Arco (Petersons AP Chemistry 2005), PR, and many practice problems from previous exams</p>
<p>I like Zumdahl as well..
Cliffs like a list of terms (without the definitions, lol), so I'd not recommend it; it's the only prep book that goes over the 22 labs though, so maybe read it at the bookstore. Use PR or Arco along with Zumdahl and you should be fine.</p>
