<p>I have taken a high school chemistry class before (however it wasn't AP). It was just normal chemistry. That was last year. However, if I read Barron's chemistry thoroughly---is it enough to get a 5 (without a textbook)?</p>
<p>What I read all of barrons and PR? Is the textbook necessary. I have heard people reading ONLY Cliff’s for AP Biology…can ONLY Barron’s be used for AP Chem?</p>
<p>anyone? anyone?</p>
<p>I did take the AP Chemistry class, but I thought the PR AP Chem book was sufficient review. Just make sure you understand all the concepts, such as compounds’ relative strength of their intermolecular forces; drawing the more complex Lewis structures, etc. Of course, supplement it with released exams and FRQs. My AP Chem book was also sufficient review for the SAT II Chem. Got an 800.</p>
<p>5 steps to a 5 is highly rated as well. I wouldn’t depend on just one book.</p>
