<p>I know that there is a consolidated list sticky up on the forum.. However, I found it extremely difficult to flip through every page and find out which books each person liked... There were many mixed feelings about the matter... And I figured this would be the best time since the AP scores either came out or are coming out for CCers and they could share their experiences with the books they used recently!</p>

<p>The AP Classes that I will be taking next year are</p>

<p>AP Calculus BC
AP Physics B/C
AP Literature
AP Government
AP Spanish</p>

<p>I hear that people prefer Princeton Review for BC Calc, and my school will provide me with Arco's? (Amsco? not sure but the other one that everyone's talking about). </p>

<p>For physics, my roommate has PR which I think is what everyone thinks is the best. So I wasn't sure what I should get for myself. (5 for a 5 or barron's?)</p>

<p>Literature... I didn't really want to take this class, but the principal kinda forced me in... Right now I was thinking cliffnotes.. any other suggestions?</p>

<p>A lot of people have been saying PR for Gov, so I guess PR..?</p>

<p>AP SPANISH Language
Nobody seems to have any idea about what books to get, or all the books out there suck. Please also keep in mind that I did not take Spanish last year. (I took Spanish 1,2,3 until 10th grade, and decided not to take Spanish 4, and am jumping straight to AP SPanish) What book should I get? Any Spanish shows that you recommend for me to look at? How should I try to relearn the conjugations, grammar, and vocabs?</p>

<p>Any general ideas on what books to get for the classes mentioned above will be welcomed.</p>

<p>Thank you, guys.</p>

<p>It’s hard to give credentials to a list that recommends PR over Barron’s for Stats…</p>

<p>The list also does not give me recommendations for Literature and Spanish…</p>

<p>I also would like my original questions answered please…</p>

<p>You don’t need a prep book for Calc BC trust me.</p>

6

<p>Also… is taking BC CALC and PHYSICS C simultaneously feasible?</p>

7

<p>Yes I took both and got a 5 on BC with no prep book and 4’s in Physics C with no teacher( I didn’t self study I
took a class with a teacher that didn’t teach) and no prep book.</p>

<p>But I’m pretty bad with math… as in I do not have the brilliant intuition and analytical skills that some people possess… I’m just average…</p>
