<p>Hi,</p>

<p>I'll be a Sophomore next and will be taking 2 APs and am planning on self studying for 1.</p>

<p>AP US History - I heard our school sells AMSCO books (which CCers recommend. But the AMSCO claims its sold out - so don't know if they plan to sell it next year).</p>

<p>In case my school doesn't sell the AMSCO books next year, what're some other good books? I hear mixed things about REA.</p>

<p>AP Comparative Government - Ethel Woods book?</p>

<p>AP Psychology - Barrons?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>AP US History - I just ran off to find my favorite review book, but unfortunately it's AMSCO. I can't say what to buy, but I can definitely say NOT to buy the Barrons. I did, and it was utterly useless. For online resources though, <a href="http://www.historyteacher.net%5B/url%5D"&gt;www.historyteacher.net&lt;/a> is excellent</p>

<p>AMSCO is a godsend. No kidding. Read it thoroughly, and you will ace the AP and SATII.
You can buy it from an amazon seller: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/United-States-History-Preparing-Examination/dp/1567656609/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-4569917-1212831?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1180827323&sr=8-1%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.amazon.com/United-States-History-Preparing-Examination/dp/1567656609/ref=pd_bbs_1/002-4569917-1212831?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1180827323&sr=8-1&lt;/a> </p>

<p>The books you wrote for comp. gov. and psych. are the best.</p>

<p>Thanks rockermcr. I've had good experiences with Princeton Review in the past (AP Gov. and SAT II Bio), is it good. I'm about 70% sure the school will be selling AMSCO (Buying the book is apparently somewhat mandatory according to the Sophomores in my math class).</p>
