<p>I know the exams for some of the AP classes listed below have already passed, but for future references:
Could everyone list their opinions on the best books for the following AP classes?</p>

<p>Biology
Language
Literature
Psychology
Chemistry
Physics C
Calculus
Statistics
World History
U.S. History
U.S. Government</p>

<p>Those are the classes I can think of from the top of my head.</p>

<p>I'll start with the ones I know from experience.
Biology- Cliffnotes
Psychology- Barron's
U.S. History- Barron's
Statistics- Barron's- !Not princeton review!
Language- Cliffnotes</p>

<p>Your opinions?</p>

<p>US History-AMSCO takes the cake on that one
Chem-Barron's
Comp Sci-Barron's</p>

3

<p>APUSH - REA
bio - barron's
never used one for stat/chem and those were the only one's i got 4's on.
all the other AP's that i bought books for, i got a 3. (iono about bio cuz i'll be taking that next week).</p>

4

<p>AP Euro History - Princeton Review (know this book well, and a 5 is guarenteed)
AP Art History - The Annotated Mona Lisa
AP US History - REA for details (MC), Princeton Review for broad themes (essays)</p>

5

<p>Chemistry= princeton.. but this wasn't that great.</p>

<p>U.S. History= REA, barron's flashcards</p>

<p>Language= cliffs</p>

6

<p>Biology: Cliffs
Chemistry: Princeton
Calculus: Princeton (Not great.)
U.S. History: Princeton
U.S. Government: Princeton</p>

<p>My opinion. Barron's is good for a lot of them too.</p>

<p>If you really want to do well on the AP exams, you definitely buy more than one prep book for them. Depending on just one book doesn't give you much practice for the tests. </p>

<p>But, Barron's is good because the questions are definitely harder than the real thing.</p>

<p>What about Environmental science?</p>

<p>I am using the smartypants book, I heard it was good, but can anyone tell me more about it?</p>
