I hate the the PR book for Calc AB. Should I just read my textbook?

<p>I feel my textbook is easier to follow.</p>

<p>definitely. i felt the same way with the PR book for Stats. Just do whatever’s easier. I stopped torturing myself trying to learn the same thing in a different way. Although with 3 days left, there isn’t much time for studying.</p>

<p>Oh well, I’ll just do the best I can.</p>

<p>Really? I thought the PR books for AB & BC were great!</p>

<p>Imo the Princeton Review Calc book is absolute crap (except the motion section). At least I’m not alone in thinking that it’s bad–I keep seeing people recommend it. But I’d go the textbook route as it’s prolly too late to go out and buy a new study guide.</p>

<p>I took the ab calc ap test last year, you don’t need a prep book. i just looked at all the FRQ released from like… the 1990s up to 2008 and did all of them and our teacher gave us a lot of mc tests and i reviewed those problems. i feel like that’s the best way to study, because you learn the material gradually, there’s wayyyy to much stuff to know how to do for calc ap exams imo
and yeah, you should use your textbook as a guide if you’re reviewing the questions you missed and you don’t know how to do something, i feel like pr/barrons don’t explain it well</p>

<p>Nonetheless, the practice tests are accurate right? Cause I might just spend some time on the practice tests.</p>

<p>Lol, I find the PR is good for a broad review, it makes you memorize stuff like the formulas for volumes, euler’s method, and such.</p>

<p>I personally like Princeton Review’s calculus book for a good review. It explains things easily and broadly as lemone said. However, it does go as in depth as it should… Furthermore, there’s no AP grading scale for the practice exams.</p>
