<p>I need advice from you high scorers for the best review book for the following AP exams:
AP Chemistry
AP Physics
AP Calc (AB & BC)</p>
<p>Thanks a lot. Another question...has anyone tried Five Steps to a Five in AP Chemistry? Title sounds pretty tempting; is it worth buying? </p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>AP Chemistry: Princeton Review (especially if you'll be using the Zumdahl textbook)
AP Physics: I'll be taking this next year, but also Princeton Review from what I've heard...
AP Calc (AB & BC): I used Barron's, but only sparingly -- the Practice questions in there are much harder than on the actual AP test, so you might find that yto your liking or disliking. I don't know if any cram book for Calc is regarded as "the best," though...</p>
<p>I used Five Steps to a Five for AP Bio, and my teacher had it for AP Lang. I think the thing with those books is that teachers write them, not "experts." So, the language is more conversational, etc., but the practice tests are not at all like the AP exam, and for AP Bio, all of the pictures were either just scanned in from the Cambell textbook or drawn on Microsoft Paint, it looked like. I felt that the best thing about the AP Bio book was that it did an excellent job picking out what was important and presenting a succint summery at the end. Some of the other review books were too wordy to be of much help in that last weekend cram. ;-)</p>
<p>That's just what I've noticed about the AP Lang and AP Bio books, though... don't know specifically about the AP Chem.</p>
<p>I suggest using the Princeton Review for AP Calc, although the questions are a little easier than the AP test. The review is very thorough, however.</p>
