<p>I understand that stats is often considered one of the easiest APs, and as a result many people study independently. I actually decided to take the class in school this year, since I had room in my schedule. Should I purchase an AP stats review book (princeton, barrons, 5 steps, etc.) if I am taking the class?</p>
<p>The class is somewhat rigorous, and I have heard that the class tests are somewhat harder than the actual AP exam. Given this information, compounded with the fact that I am a freshman currently enrolled precalc, along with the fact that I have to study for the math sat 2 this year, as well as self-study AP HuG and both economics, would you advise that I purchase a stats review book in order to get a 5? If so, which one? Or will it be fine just to take the class and pay attention? (I am a very attentive learner, not one of those genius kids that never pay attention but still get 100s) </p>
