<p>What's the best book to use for AP Chem? is it sufficcient for self-study or does it not really go in that much depth?</p>
<p>I took the Chem test in October. It was heck of alot easier than the one in June. I used the PR book throughout. I was surprised that the level of diffculty of the June test was nothing like the PR practice tests. And the October test was at the same level. if your looking for depth PR isn't for you and neither is Kaplan. Instead, Barron's are the deepest. Go for Barron's if you want depth. People say PR is right on target in difficulty but truth is often times, they re too easy</p>
<p>ey wangsta, this is AP, not sat2</p>
<p>I'm looking at the Princeton Review book for Chem right now. It's not as in depth as I wish it would be (ie if you have no stable knowledge of chemistry, I suggest you get something that would explain the concepts more) but the information seems like all you need for the AP exam and nothing more. It cuts right to the chase.</p>
<p>As for difficulty, I'm not sure. I love how they explain every question in depth but it doesn't go over many calculations (mainly concepts). I would recommend REAL AP questions from past exams (or at least, that's what I'm planning).</p>
<p>The best book to use to prepare for the AP Chem exam (in the month or so before) is definitely the Princeton Review. However, you have to, more or less, know the material. The book is just there to fill in some holes and remind you of what you need to know.</p>
<p>If you need to actually learn things, then I suggest ARCO...</p>
