<p>EASY
I took it the 09-10 school year. I read Barron once during winter break without making a lot of effort to remember the stuff then read again in late Mar/early Apr (this time a lot slower and pay more attention to details and took some notes).
I didn’t review again because I was busy with Human Geography and Environmental Science.
Before the exam, I review the notes.
I felt like I did well on the exam.
Oh yeah, besides Barron I also skim through 5 Steps to a 5.
If I have to choose between 1 of the, 5 to 5 is better. A combination is the best.
I also bought Crash Course, Kaplan but again was too busy with Human Geography to read those in whole. Though I did read some chapters from the most frequently tested areas.
I heard Crash Course is really good. Dark Knight wrote a really good review on Prep books here: <a href=“http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/885433-ap-psychology-best-text-best-prep-books-worst-prep-books-real-tests.html[/url]”>http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/ap-tests-preparation/885433-ap-psychology-best-text-best-prep-books-worst-prep-books-real-tests.html</a></p>
