Choosing books by edition

<p>I will be going into senior year next year and considering getting a head start on AP calculus, chem and physics. I know I won't be able to get that far but just a brief overview of what is to come, as I will be taking all three of these courses in school next year.</p>

<p>I have done some research on prep books and came to the understanding that the 2014 prep books aren't out yet. (at least for Princeton Review) I know Chemistry is changing so I would have to wait for a new edition, but for other subjects, is it better to wait for and buy the new edition or will the older 2013 edition do fine?</p>

<p>I'm considering Barron's for calculus and chemistry, Princeton Review for physics B. Does anybody know when the new 2014 edition will be out?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Barrons for calculus is excellent. I used it myself this past year and I’m pretty sure I got a 5 with it. For chemistry, wait for the 2014 books. I heard they come out beginning of each calender year? Not for sure though. Physics, I can’t help you out there sorry.</p>

<p>Thanks for the reply. I guess I’ll wait for chemistry and get the physics book now as there doesn’t seem to be any changes to the course syllabus.</p>

<p>5 Steps to a 5 for AP Chem will be out on July 12th. </p>

<p>Its only worth buying based on edition if the exam changed.</p>

<p>So I suppose others will be out around then too? Maybe I’ll contact the publishers by email.</p>

<p>Definitely. Waiting for Barron’s AP Chemistry.</p>
