APUSH / Chem

Test Preparation
1

<p>I am planning on purchasing prep books for these two subjects in order to prepare for the AP exams in March. I know its a little early but I figure it would help me out in school as well, to get another explanation (different from textbook).</p>

<p>After carful and time-consuming searching of the forums, I have discovered the "best" books according to the majority of posters:</p>

<p>APUSH - REA for detailed explanation, and PR for more general review</p>

<p>I just was wondering...would this book be sufficient:
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/0878918442/ref=cm_rev_next/102-5424547-0975361?%5Fencoding=UTF8&customer-reviews.sort%5Fby=%2BOverallRating&n=283155&s=books&customer-reviews.start=11%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/customer-reviews/0878918442/ref=cm_rev_next/102-5424547-0975361?%5Fencoding=UTF8&customer-reviews.sort%5Fby=%2BOverallRating&n=283155&s=books&customer-reviews.start=11&lt;/a>
or should I purchase the newer edition book with CD
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0878913327/102-5424547-0975361?v=glance&n=283155&s=books&v=glance%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0878913327/102-5424547-0975361?v=glance&n=283155&s=books&v=glance&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>AP CHEM - Barrons and PR (again, detailed and then concise)</p>

<p>Also, for the PSAT (it's too late to buy new books), but would a combination of KAPLAN and BARRONS be could for preparation.</p>

<p>I was just making sure that these are the correct books to purchase before I spend the money. Thanks for your help.</p>

<p>I don't use REA for APUSH, though it is certainly regarded as being one of the best. I use the other highly recommended prep book by AMSCO.</p>

<p>I use PR for Chem and I think it's good.</p>

<p>Thank you. Any others?</p>

<p>THat's a good book right there (i own it . . and i used it. damn for someone who hates history and did not pay attention a lot, that book is a life savor)
I heard PR is good for Chem too</p>

<p>hmm, for some reason, it says the link is dead?</p>

<p>lol
i just copied it from your first post
it's the book without the CD . . i didn't hear if the CD was particularly useful or not, but the book does the trick</p>

<p>Okay, thanks.</p>

<p>I'll just go ahead and get the one without the CD then.
Any more info about PSAT/Chem?</p>

<p>PSAT - do the practice test, and work on the sections you need extra help on from any sat book
It wasn't really that bad, i didn't use any prac. book</p>
