<p>yes, TEXTbook! Not review book. Textbook! I'm self studying AP Psych and would like any recommendations/ suggestions of which AP Psych book to get. I was thinking maybe David Myer's 8th Edition. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Well everyone here is just going to tell you that Barrons AP Psychology is all you need, and I agree with them. Barrons had everything you could possibly want to know to get a 5 on the exam.</p>
<p>Textbook. ^ I had Psychology 8th Edition by Myers. It's fantastic. He's funny and makes it really easy to understand. </p>
<p>Yeah. :)</p>
<p>^thanks! :)
any others?</p>
<p>i agree with llpitch. you don't really need one... barron's works just fine</p>
<p>I know he wants a textbook but I'm just saying Barrons is all you need.</p>
<p>I'm not familiar with psychology at all. will the review book help? And if so, how? Sorry, i've just never seen a review book and don't know what they offer, how to use them, etc.</p>
<p>When I was reviewing for the AP test last year, I found Princeton's to be excellent. However, I already knew everything from the textbook reading.</p>
<p>Go with Meyer's Psychology eighth edition. It's an excellent read. It's interesting, funny, and he makes it so easy to understand, which is a good thing when it comes to the biology section. (I love what he does with the margins of the pages.) It's just a well put together textbook. Heck, I even went and got one myself I liked it so much. </p>
<p>If anything, I would get it for the long term uses in addition to the test. Chances are you'll be able to cite it in some paper. I've used it for two already. </p>
<p>AP Psych really isn't a hard subject at all, so you should be fine no matter what you choose (Barron's, Princeton's, Meyers, etc). However, I *really *suggest Meyer's, and then getting one of the other ones for review/consecutive study.</p>
<p>The review books will help because they'll tell you *specifically *what's on the test, whereas the textbook is meant as a general introduction to psychology (which still works, because most everything in Meyer's could be on the test).</p>
<p>One last tidbit, I wouldn't go with Kaplan's. We partially used it, and there was a noticeable amount of errors.</p>
<p>I took the AP this year. Though I owned review books, I never touched them. I used Meyers and just felt really prepared. As Pathetique had mentioned, it's well-put together. And, if you follow and just read the textbook, it will stick. ;)</p>
<p>make sure to get barron's for review though... the practice tests are very similar to the actual exam.</p>
<p>myers, as everyone has said</p>
<p>thanks for everyones help.</p>
