<p>THE BEST PREP BOOKS</p>
<p>The two best prep books are Barron’s AP Psychology and the recently released AP Psychology Crash Course. Both books are clearly far superior to their competitors. Barron’s is a trusted book that provides a clear well-organized narrative. Fans of Barron’s should not overlook the Crash Course book. It has a number of unique features including a chapter summarizing the key contributions of all 74 psychologists listed in the AP Course Description booklet. There is also a really good chapter devoted to discussing confusing topics such as the difference between the availability heuristic and the representative heuristic. And finally, Crash Course contains an amazing collection of vivid examples that illustrate all the key concepts.</p>
