<p>I was wondering; what do you think is the best AP Chemistry review book out there i'm torn apart form choosing between cliffnotes,sparknotes, the new princeton and barrons.
From the kinds who got a 5 on the AP chem test what do you think would be thew best choice.</p>
<p>Bump - I'd like to know this too</p>
<p>Princeton Review is definitely the best (and it's written by a Columbia alum) :)</p>
<p>isn't princeton review bad for any test preparation course</p>
<p>Princeton Review is by far the best prep book for AP Chemistry. Most would agree with me.</p>
<p>i had a not so good class and read kaplan the week before the test...i got a 5.</p>
<p>PR and Barron's are almost always the best books for AP's (the one common exception I can think of is AP Bio). PR sucks only for the PSAT/SAT I.</p>
<p>I read Barron's AP Chem cover to cover, and I don't recommend it. PR would probably be your best bet.</p>
<p>PR is the way to go.</p>
<p>i liked arco</p>
<p>Wow, this is a useful thread.</p>
<p>Sorry if this seems off topic but does anyone know a decent explanation for net ionic equations?</p>
<p>I'm not sure I'm getting it in class. I'll get all of them right sometimes, and other times all of them wrong.</p>
<p>I used PR last year and got a 4 on the exam. I would not blame PR for missing a 5, though; it is not their fault really. I think if you read all of PR's summarized lessons, do ALL of the practice problems and read all of their solutions, do BOTH of the practice tests/read solutions and do all of the College Board's actual past FR questions/read their solutions (under Sample Questions and Scoring or w/e on the CB website), you should be well prepared to receive a 4-5 on the AP exam. Best of luck to everyone!</p>
