<p>I wanted to get prep books for both AP calculus and physics. Wanted to ask, which is better barrons or Princeton, so I can buy it and start preparing for the AP. </p>
<p>What book do you recommend for AP comparative studies and politics? </p>
<p>Thx really appreciate it</p>
<p>Pls somebody respond</p>
<p>Barrons has an insane amount of practice problems for calc - I recommend it.
For physics (B), I used both and liked them both in conjunction with one another - I liked the depth that Barrons went into and I preferred the practice problems in Princeton.</p>
<p>More replies pls</p>
<p>BARRONS IS THE WORST I heard they have incorrect answers. I have heard a few recommendations for the Princeton one. Definitely get Princeton.</p>
<p>I only know from experience from the practice problems (from the ones that my AB/BC teacher showed us, and very few for Physics B), and the problems from the Barrons book are on a whole other level compared to the problems in the Princeton review. Here is my take on them:</p>
<ul>
<li><p>The Princeton review’s problems are much like problems on the AP exams, except most of them are pretty less involved. I personally think the problems in this book are somewhat easier to the exam(s), but that is up to you to decide. The book has some good summaries though (although it tends to leave stuff out a lot).</p></li>
<li><p>The Barrons book’s problems are much harder than those in the Princeton Review book, mainly because they tend to be more involved. The problems are not that extreme, but the problems are not a “cake-walk” either (for most people anyway, haha). If I recall correctly, there may have been an error or two, if any, in the key before, but that doesn’t destroy the quality of the book that much. </p></li>
</ul>
<p>I personally would use the Barrons books for both tests, and Princeton review for any last minute cramming.</p>
