PR or Barron's for AP Econ

Test Preparation
1

<p>I know this is an old topic, but I have to know which book to use for self-study. We don't have AP Econ at my school, but I want to take the exam. I didn't start studying yet and at this point feel like I don't have too much time to learn a new subject, so unnecessary details are not what I'm looking for. Are there any supplemental books (no textbooks please) that I should use? I have the Complete Idiot's Guide to Economics.</p>

<p>I'm going for a 4 on the test. How well have you guys done by self-studying with either the PR or Barron's?</p>

<p>I am self studying it now. CliffsAP seems pretty good. I don't like the set up that PR uses so Cliffs was the only other one at Barnes and Noble. I have read the Mankiw textbook and the Cliffs seems like a pretty good review.</p>
