Best Prep Book for AP Calc AB?

<p>I wanted to get ahead and learn some calculus this summer before school started. Which book would best teach me calculus as if it were teaching something new? I heard barrons was terrible with it according to some reviews on amazon.</p>

<p>I would use Princeton Review. It’s amazingly in-depth. Just skip the sections labelled BC.</p>

<p>From what I gathered on CC before buying a prep book for Calc, most people agree on Princeton Review. Calculus is not that bad though. I was considering on learning it before class started too, but got too lazy, and the class I took was more than enough. I suppose it depends on the rigor of your school’s Calc program though.</p>

<p>My ap calc teacher had us buy Barron’s. I thought it was a good book.</p>

<p>Thanks for the suggestions guys. PR it is!</p>

<p>I took Calc AB this year and am expecting a 5 and I used Barron’s.</p>

<p>Just do all the practice problems and take both tests and that’s all you’ll need to get a 5.</p>

<p>However, my friend used Princeton Review and he said it was good too.</p>

<p>Just use your textbook, and take the released exams that are all readily available on the Internet.</p>

<p>Barron’s. The questions are more difficult there than on the real AP test, so the AP test isn’t bad then.</p>
