<p>I have made a goal to study atleast a couple of hours every week (going to be hard but will try lol) for my next year's courses. Could help others as well looking for materials.
Could anyone please give me some good online tutorials/study materials for these classes:</p>
<p>AP Biology
AP Statistics
AP Literature
AP Gov and Politics
AP Comp Science</p>
<p>anything is appreciated, Thanks!</p>
<p>Hey, join the club. I'm trying to self-study for lots of APs. Ok, I'm sorry I can only help for AP Biology.</p>
<p>I self-studied (crammed) it in one semester. I read a textbook (any textbook you're comfortable with is fine, I didn't like Campbell/Reece, though, it's way too in depth & wayyy too long) & read Barron's & Cliffs a few times. Barron's has bad practice questions & tests, Cliffs's are very realistic. But read Barron's cafefully, the info is very accurate & condensed. Cliffs is also good, but not as condensed & it didn't exactly cover everything on the test.</p>
<p>& do lots of practice questions! There is only a limited number of subjects they can test on!</p>
<p>Good luck! Read Barron's early (I got it a week before the test, not a good idea, but I got a 5 with it.)</p>
<p>AP Comp Science:</p>
<p>I didn't use a review book, just the textbook the school gave me, but I did a bunch of labs. I felt that the labs helped me more than the review books ever could. The Free Response part of the APCS exam requires you to write programs, so actually practice programming!</p>
<p>There is also a Grid World question on the FR section this year. CB provides a free review (very thick one too) of GridWorld, which was also very helpful to me.</p>
<p>For AP Lit just read as much as you can. Practice thinking analytically about each text, and review past FR questions. Brush up on poetry terminology and familiarize yourself with some big names--Keats, Byron, Tennyson, Eliot, names like those.</p>
<p>Ha, Im pretty much taking the same classes as you next year.</p>
<p>AP BIO
AP Gov/econ
AP Lit
AP Stats</p>
<p>any advice on which econ test I should take if I'm going into a business major?</p>
<p>I think you should just take the summer off lol</p>
<p>But if you aren't going to I'd recommend Cliff's for AP Biology, Ethel Woods for AP Comparative Gov, and PR for AP U.S. Gov</p>
<p>AP Stat isn't that hard, it just gets confusing when you have to remember the conditions for inference. I recommend Barron's, Introduction to the Practice of Statistics, a textbook by Moore and McCabe, and a video series called Against All Odds. To view the video lessons, go to learner.org and get a free registration.</p>
<p>Cool thanks, any more ideas?</p>
<p>Sorry, this has very little to do with what you asked, but I just saw Jenife's post and had to comment that the book that she didn't like, Campbell/Reece, is the book we had to use for class. lol. It was enormous and way too in depth, but if you actually want to study biology in the future and not just to get a good score on the AP test, I'd recommend it.</p>
<p>Yeah, Campbell/Reece is THE biology book. I'm sure most colleges and universities use that text.</p>
<p>I love Cambells :D</p>
<p>Its really good if you want to really want to understand and learn about biology instead of just reading a review book.</p>
