<p>I've read the consolidated list...just wondering inputs from other members:</p>

<p>AP Calculus AB
AP U.S. History
AP English Language
AP Spanish (already ordered preparing for the AP Spanish Language exam)</p>

<p>I'm planning to read amsco/online notes/textbook for U.S...throughout the year.</p>

2

<p>Princeton for calc, amsco for u.s., idk for others. Should I highlight in amsco throughout the yr with the textbook or wait till march to start the review?</p>

3

<p>PR have extremely easy FRQs for Calc AB. You should review previous FRqs on collegeboard website. But the MC section is good in PR.</p>

4

<p>Direct Hits for APUSH hands down, and AMSCO is good throughout the year. But DH for the month before the exam</p>

5

<p>thanks, I guess I have to order amsco online…</p>

6

<p>Which of these are self studies?</p>

<p>AP Calculus AB- If self studying, any will do, if not, no prep book needed.
AP U.S. History- REA
AP English Language- None is really needed, but if self studying Barron’s is probably best. Any will do though.
AP Spanish (already ordered preparing for the AP Spanish Language exam)- not sure</p>

7

<p>I’m taking all these in school; it’s been rough already.</p>

8

<p>English and Spanish are more skill-based, so I guess memorizing facts won’t work for those APs.</p>

9

<p>What color is the amsco prep book? It says preparing for the advanced placement us exam…an amsco publication? I though it was greenish cover.</p>

10

<p>Is 2012 version out yet for amsco?</p>

11

<p>

</p>

<p>In that case, my advice is to just order the REA for US History, and possibly some book for Spanish. Spanish was one of the classes in which I felt I learned more in class than from a preparation book, though. It might be good to get one just to practice and learn vocabulary.</p>

12

<p>Well most cc people recommend amsco…idk how’s it different? I just can’t find amsco online or I might have the wrong book.</p>

13

<p>AMSCO used to be recommended. Currently, most people recommend DH for people taking the class.</p>

14

<p>hmmm, is it a prep book or flashcards? I’m using online notes with textbook, so hopefully a prep book would help me out.</p>

<p>What does the cover of amsco look like?</p>

15

<p>So which one should I buy? and is Amsco the one with the american flag on the cover?</p>

<p>“an amsco publication”</p>
