<p>Hello!</p>
<p>I am currently using Chemical Principles: The Quest for Insight. I try to pick up the prep book like Barrons or Princeton Review for this subject, but I do not know which to choose. I like prep book that has detailed information, I do not care about the practice problems since I have them already in my disposal. Which prep book do you recommend?</p>
<p>apparently princeton review is the best
but I can’t really say that since I only have the princeton review version
it’s just what I’ve heard in the past</p>
<p>I personally recommend the 5 Steps!
All of the books have their good parts though:
-Princeton is good for a quick review for a test, but horrible in reviewing for the AP. It is just too easy in comparison.
-Barrons has good FRQ questions, but the MC are just too hard. Also there is a lot of wrong information in this book.
-5 Steps is the best because it gives good in depth info, and then has quality MC and FRQ questions.</p>
<p>I got all 3 last year, but ended up using 5 Steps the most. I swear it works! My whole chem class used Princeton Review and I used 5 Steps and I was the only one to get a 5! :)</p>
<p>I have barrons. I heard Princeton review is the best.</p>
<p>Princeton review is very good, but if you want frq practice just do the past frqs that you can find on collegeboard’s website.</p>
