<p>APUSH: Go with AMSCO, nothing is better. (If you can't get AMSCO, get REA)</p>
<p>I also have Cliffs for Enlgish and PR for Chem, heard Barrons was really good for Spanish </p>
<p>I liked REA for APUSH so yeah, if you can't get amsco, go give REA a try.</p>
<p>mmm, thanks guys :)</p>
<p>i heard arco/peterson's was great for ap chemistry. i'm yet to find out, but as soon as i do, i'll inform you.</p>
<p><em>it resembles the test more accurately in terms of information tested and difficulty.</em></p>

<p>^I'm using that book for chemistry. I haven't taken the exam yet, but it works wonders on classroom exams.</p>
<p>I completely agree with hpa 10. AMSCO is pretty long, but just take the time to read it. The best decision ever!!!! I easily got a 5. The book is by Schmalbach and Newman. Get it!</p>
<p>Agree with AMSCO for APUSH (although I did get a 5 with PR). Don't know about Spanish but the others look great!</p>
<p>Cliffs for English Lang is fine. As everyone else said, for PUSH get REA or AMSCO; the latter has more material, but REA has better tests.</p>
