<p>Hello, first time poster long time reader here. I was wondering if I could get suggestions for the best review books for AP World History and AP Statistics. I did look at the consolidated book suggestions thread but there was a lot of mixed information in there as some people said barrons was the best for statistics and some people said princeton review, I just couldn't decide. By the way, I am taking these classes in school but wanted to get the books in summer so I could have something to help me study during the year and to prepare myself for the AP test. Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Also, if I do buy the Princeton Review book for AP World History, should I get the 2012 edition which has mainly 5 star reviews on amazon or get the 2013 edition which will be released August 7th? Price difference is just a dollar so no matter there.</p>
<p>I took APWH last year. Get the Princeton Review. And I don’t think either copy will differ vastly. The 2012 edition covered the change made to APWH on the previous exam, so you will be fine</p>
<p>Ok, thanks! And what book would people recommend for AP Statistics? Will be as a supplement to actual class.</p>
<p>can anyone help me?</p>
<p>For AP World, I’d say go with Princeton Review. The 2012 edition should be about the same as the 2013 since the test isn’t changing (I’m pretty sure)…I used it last year and it was an excellent review of all world history topics. As for AP Stat, I’m not sure because I haven’t taken it yet…I would assume Barron’s and Princeton Review would both work well. I have used various PR books and they have always worked well for me. However, maybe Barron’s specializes in statistics better than PR. I would probably go with Princeton Review just because of past positive experiences…sorry I’m not completely sure about that.</p>
<p>For AP Statistics you should definitely get 5 Steps to a Five if you can. I used this one the most and thought it the most like the actual test. I only used the Barrons a little bit and found that I didn’t really like their answer choices. The Princeton Review felt a bit harder than the actual test but I didn’t use that one a lot. I did the multiple choice for 5 Steps to a Five on the day of the ap exam and found questions exactly like it on the actual test. So if you can get this I strongly recommend it.</p>
