best review book for ap calc ab

<p>So I've been trying to decide if I should buy barron's, 5 steps, or PR, and I see there are pros and cons to each of them. I think I've narrowed it down to barron and PR, but some people say that barron has more challenging questions and is a lot harder to understand. Whereas PR has easier questions and is easier to understand. big surprise there xD but I don't want to end up picking PR and then when it comes time to take the exam I'm not prepared because it wasn't challenging ENOUGH. So what do you guys recommend? thanks in advance</p>

<p>Use your textbook to review material, then Barron’s for practice tests.</p>

<p>Barron’s has the most difficult practice tests and if you have little knowledge of calculus, the review sections will seem very difficult. Maybe use a combo of PR and Barrons. That’s what I’m going to do.</p>

<p>k thanks :D</p>

<p>just get barrons.</p>

<p>^^^ I put a combo of PR and Barron’s. In the duration of the test I finished the MC in under half the allotted time, and FRQ, under 30 mins. These books, therefore, will be very effective. I have heard that Peterson’s AP Mathematics is also very good.</p>
