Hi
In the 2015-2016 school year, I’ll be taking AP English Language and Composition, AP Stat, AP Comparative Government, and AP US history. I’m planning on studying throughout the year, and was wondering what books people preferred. I’m not necessarily trying to cram at the last minute, which is why I don’t need brevity so much as I need thorough presentation of information. In addition, I want lots of quality, accurate practice questions so I’m experienced when the tests come around. I planned to complete two to three books for each subject over the course of the year. So, are there any books you recommend for long term studying?
Thanks for your advice!
I used Kaplan and TPR. Kaplan was a last resort given that it gave a little bit of alot of topics. It is a good refresher towards the end of the year, but not what you’re looking for. I would get TPR’s and use their practice questions as your class goes on. If you feel unprepared at the end, try out Kaplan for a quick refresher.
Chance me?

What is TPR? I’m new to college confidential and not quite familiar with the shorthand.
@jmampilly Maybe The Princeton Review? I’ve seen “PR” for Princeton Review.
But I suggest Barron’s for Stats and PR and AMSCO for APUSH. Good luck!
Get Barron’s for ap statistics!
Get Cliffsnotes for Ap English and Barron’s as the second book for it.
@InstantEco Are the practice multiple choice questions in the Barron’s book the same difficulty as those of the actual test? I used Barron’s for a few subjects in the 2014-2015 year and found the practice questions to be unrealistically easy.
@jmampilly For English they are of actual difficulty(both cliffs and barrons), for AP stats, Barrons is harder than the real deal.
