<p>Wow. You are really going all-out for AP's. I'm afraid I don't have much advice to offer you, except for Computer Science.</p>

<p>In my Computer Science A class (and I know next year for the AB class), we use Java Methods by Gary and Maria Litvin, and I have found it to be a very good resource. Just make sure you get a copy of the student disk, which contains many files used in their examples.</p>

<p>"Java Methods: An Introduction to Object-Oriented Programming" is the textbook we use, by Gary and Maria Litvin.</p>

<p>However, they also have two other books which look to be equally good, and one is specifically tailored for the AP Computer Science exam.</p>

<p>"Java Methods AB: Data Structures" by Maria Litvin and Gary Litvin</p>

<p>I would assume the following book is more oriented specifically towards the AP exam:
"Be Prepared for the AP Computer Science Exam in Java" by Maria Litvin</p>

<p>Garraty is a very good author. The American Nation really is a good text, but it's pretty dry and doesn't focus heavily on social trends (something that is important on the AP USH exam). As a textbook, however, it's great, so if you study with that, you be fine.</p>

<p>I'm not familiar with the other US History books.</p>
