<p>The McGrawhill one has a better review on amazon. I'm guessing they're very similar, but if anyone has experience with which is better please elaborate.</p>
<p>The thread Consolidated book suggestions for AP suggests Barron’s, I think.</p>
<p>Barron’s is better for self-study.</p>
<p>Are you saying that from experience or just reading the consolidated book suggestions?</p>
<p>I found 5 steps to a 5 far more useful than Barrons, but I had a really good AP class for it at school and I used 5 Steps to a 5 for review the last month before the exam. I didn’t like Barrons half as much, but it may just be the way the content was presented. I had both books and I barely touched Barrons after I got 5 steps.</p>
<p>BArron’s for self-study. 5 for a 5 is a review of high level concepts if you’ve had a course.</p>
<p>Okay thanks for the input. I guess I’ll go with the Barron’s then since I’m not taking the course.</p>
<p>If I may, I’d like to bump this. I’m taking AP Psych and doing well in it, but the class is not hard at all and I’d like to do well on the exam. Which book do you recommend?</p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Barron’s. Did you read the posts before yours?</p>
<p>I took the test, but I also had a class. Barron’s is the best, except there were some things on the test that it did not cover (but luckily my class did). I got a 5 and I think Barron’s greatly added to that.</p>
<p>bump
Umm so im still undecided. Which one is better?</p>
<p>I have always heard that Barron’s is the best book for AP Psych. I’m self-studying Psych this year too and that’s what I bought.</p>
<p>@Salve! Im self studying for AP Psych with Barrons…Would you mind mentioning some of the stuff that Barrrons did not cover but that you still encountered on the AP Exam?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
