<p>Hi, I sort of have an idea for what books I should get for the following APs, but I need some other opinions. Thanks!</p>
<p>AP English Language and Composition
AP U.S. Government and Politics
AP Macroeconomics
AP Statistics
AP Chemistry
AP Psychology (self-study)
AP Microeconomics (self-study)</p>
<p>Barron’s is all you need for AP Psych, but I think REA’s Crash Course has gotten rave reviews as well - so you may want to pick that up as another resource/last minute study tool. I had picked up PR for AP Lang but never used it - your teacher should be able to provide you with plenty of practice MC and you can look up sample essays/topics on AP Central.</p>
<p>AP English Language and Composition - CliffsAP, but if your class is good, you won’t need Cliffs. If you really want a review book, get Cliffs.
AP U.S. Government and Politics - Princeton Review hands down.
AP Macroeconomics - I heard PR, but no first hand experience here yet.
AP Statistics - Barron’s
AP Chemistry - Also heard PR, but again no personal experience.
AP Psychology (self-study) - Review book: Barron’s. Heard you could get a 5 with only Barron’s, but I personally like to get textbooks for self-studies. So for psych, I’d go with Myers Psychology.
AP Microeconomics (self-study) - I hear PR is best, but no first hand. I’m also selfing this and macro next year and got Economics by Krugman for the textbook. But you might get a textbook which covers this portion of econ in your macro class.</p>
<p>It’s silly to buy a book for AP Lang.
You shouldn’t need a book for AP Stats - it’s also easy.
I have Barron’s for AP Chem and I like it a lot, but I haven’t taken the test yet.</p>
<p>PR is a good review book or a supplement to your textbook, but if you have a terrible teacher, I’d go with Barron’s. It’s better to learn too much than too little, eh?</p>
<p>AP English Language and Composition - Cliffs
AP U.S. Government and Politics - PR
AP Statistics - Barron’s
AP Microeconomics - 5 Steps to a 5 (this book mentioned a topic that my textbook didn’t, which was on the AP exam)</p>
<p>Thanks for all the suggestions so far, guys.</p>
<p>I’ve got this AP Achiever book that the school gave us along with our Economics textbook. Anyone have any experience using it?</p>
