<p>So I've decided to take both next year but I'm not sure which books I should get to help me prepare for both the subjects over the summer. I have Zumdahl for Chemistry but I'm clueless as to what to get for physics. Any pointers for the overall classes? Is the workload awfully large?</p>
<p>Princeton Review for AP Chemistry</p>
<p>Barron’s for AP Physics C, Princeton Review for Physics B</p>
<p>Peterson’s for AP Chem is GREAT! I’m self studying with a Hill/Petrucci textbook and it resembles it well except for some notation. Plus I searched around on CC for the best AP Chem book and Peterson’s came up. </p>
<p>AP Physics? I have no clue. I have PR, but its not that great, or so I think. It lacks organization.</p>
<p>Zumdahl - heard it’s a good textbook for Chem. You should get Princeton Review</p>
<p>I agree with gator fan about the PR for AP Physics B. I rather rely on my textbook. Physics by Cutnell and Johnson is a good textbook for me.</p>
<p>Peterson’s I haven’t head of that one. I’ve heard a lot about Zumdahl. So which one is better?</p>
<p>I wouldn’t compare them because Peterson is a study guide, whereas Zumdahl is a textbook.</p>
