Can anybody help me figure out the best review guides for the following AP courses, and reasons why you reccomend them? From an ambitious junior.
AP Biology
AP Psychology (do I actually need one?)
AP Language and Composition
AP US History
AP Environmental (considering self-study)
AP Statistics (considering self-study)
For APUSH, I loved Barrons. If you have a good teacher, you wont need anything but. It is absolutely great for review right before the AP exam. I didn’t use a review book during the year.
For AP Stats (which I self studied), I found that reading through a textbook, watching YouTube videos online (specific people, let me know if you want the names), and Barrons were perfect. Barrons also prepared me really well and helped me understand difficult concepts.
For AP Language, my Lang teacher this summer asked us all to buy the 5 Steps to a 5 to use during the school year. Given that the AP teacher asked us to get the review book, I suppose it is very good. Taking it this coming junior year!
