<p>Barron’s - AP World History
4.5/5
This is an awesome book and is great for supplementing a class all year. It has a lot of information and is fairly in-depth. Reading this will guarantee you a 5. The only reason I didn’t rate this a 5 is because it is so long (over 500 pages), making it difficult to use as a last-minute read.</p>
<p>5 Steps to a 5 - World History
3/5
The best thing about this book is that it is brief and can be read in a weekend and a day. However, it isn’t all-encompassing, and should only be used if you already have a solid understanding of the majority of the curriculum; it’s best as a mind-refresher and not as something to learn from. Review questions at the end of each chapter have questions that ask about material that wasn’t even covered in the text. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>Cliff’s - Biology
999/5 (Yes, 999 out of five)
This book is the AP Biology BIBLE. Read it the weekend before the exam (which is on a Monday) and you’ll get a 5. I kept up with the course all year, but Cliff’s still taught me some things in the weekend of cramming. It’s a light read, but covers everything you will need to know. The only downside (albeit a minor one) is that some of the diagrams are crappy (they’re 2D) making it sometimes hard to follow. But that’s not a big deal because you can always look in a textbook or online for a better diagram of the same thing.</p>
