<p>Is a review book necessary for AP Lang? I'm taking it next year.</p>
<p>I suggest getting AP prep books for almost every AP. I would say Cliffnotes is helpful. I am probably going to use that. </p>
<p>A review book for Lang might not be dry helpful since the bulk of your test scores in placed on your essays. If you get 25/52 right for the multiple choice and 9s on the essays, you would get a 5 on the exam. So for an AP like Lang, it would make more sense to get a tutor or a teacher to help you with the writing over just the book.</p>
