AP Environmental Science - Barrons, Smartypants, or PR???

<p>I have never taken an enviro. science class. However, I would like to take the exam this May (which is in a couple of weeks). What is the best prep book for the exam.....if I haven't taken the class and I am not using a textbook? Most people say PR or smartypants or Barrons. Which one is the best of the three? Thanks.</p>

<p>I self studied for APES using only PR, released exams and online FRQ and got a 5</p>

<p>Where did you get the released exams? I know where to get the FRQ’s. But how about the released exams?</p>

<p>any suggestions?</p>

<p>I am using Princeton Review, Barrons, and online FRQS. Anyone have released exams besides the like 1998 one.</p>

<p>Where did you get the released exams? And, of the 3—which is the best to get a 5—without any additional textbook?</p>

<p>Released exams? I would love to know!</p>

<p>Where did you get the released exams? And, of the 3—which is the best to get a 5—without any additional textbook? And approx. how many hours would you need to read through that book—to get a 5 this May (without any textbook)?</p>

<p>Use the PR Book.</p>

<p>I have currently been reading through the PR book the last couple days and then scored a borderline 5 on the first practice test just yesterday, so I am very confident that I can score at least a 4 now.</p>

<p>So, no to smartypants? Or, Barrons? I heard on CC…that Smartypants was the best. Any more suggestions, would be helpful =)</p>

<p>any more suggestions?</p>

<p>Barrons- For if you did not take a class with the test.
Princeton Review- took the class, need a good review. Teaches you concepts and vocab, but on the exam of course you still have to be able to analyze stuff you have never heard of.
Smarty Pants- I have heard it is the same as PR.</p>

<p>So take your pick.</p>
