AP/SAT Prep Book HEAVEN?

Pre-College Issues High School Life

<p>So, normally when I need a prep book for my AP classes or the SAT, I hike on over to Barnes and Noble and shell out 25+ dollars per book in order to study...</p>

<p>However, I just happened to be in the book section of my local thrift store (Salvation Army) and I found tons of nearly new prep books in a variety of subjects. It almost looked like the test prep section of Barnes and Noble itself. They were all Kaplan and Princeton Review brand, and I ended up buying the following to use for next year (senior year):</p>

<p>Kaplan: AP English Literature
Kaplan: 2400 SAT Prep
Kaplan: AP Calculus AB/BC
Kaplan: AP Psychology
Kaplan: LSAT prep (idk why)
Princeton Review: SAT prep</p>

<p>6 books, which normally would've costed 130+ dollars, I bought from the thrift shop for 4 dollars. 4.00. 400 pennies. </p>

<p>SO. MORAL OF THE STORY.</p>

<p>If you need a prep book.
Go to Goodwill/Salvation Army/Savers</p>

<p>People drop off their prep books pretty often towards the end of the academic school year because they have no need for them. I suggest you take advantage of it. This is literally the greatest discovery I've made in a long time. I wanted to share this discovery with the CC community.</p>

<p>Cheers!</p>

<p>Only on this website are “prep book” and “heaven” part of the same phrase. </p>

<p>I’ve found a lot of good books at Salvation Army. It’s annoying to dig through all the random unorganized books in search of stuff, though.</p>

<p>@halcyonheather - oh, usually at my salvation army, the larger books, which tend to be reference/prep books are kept in one area, so there’d be an aisle/shelf dedicated just to LSAT/MCAT/SAT/AP prep books alongside maybe dictionaries, encyclopedias, etc.</p>

<p>Moral of the story: You should be poppin’ tags.</p>

<p>If your public library is actually any good (unlike mine) they’ll probably have some there too.</p>

<p>yeah, the library is pretty good c: just get the books super early before everyone else takes the exam!!</p>
