<p>I have found that on certain websites like Amazon and Half I can buy older (2003-05) versions of the review books that I want [I'm trying to self study Micro/Macro/Envir/Stats] and I wanted to know if there were any major changes to those tests since around 2003.....If I can save like 50 dollars by buying like new copies of older books I would gladly do it.</p>
<p>Any other self study suggestions? Are textbooks really needed for the above listed classes?</p>
<p>Bump Bump Bump</p>
<p>I am taking 4 courses and self studying a few more.</p>
<p>For all of my classes I have good teachers who consistently have students with good grades on exams.</p>
<p>Us History-
World History (self)-
Micro(self)-
Macro(self)-
Biology-
Environmental(self)-
Pyschology-
English Lang-
Stats(self)-</p>
<p>Can someone fill in my book/prepbook list based on my needs. (Lots of conflicting info on here). </p>
<p>If a textbook is not required say so; if it is impossible to self without an actual text say so.</p>
<p>I did not choose anything to self study that I beleived I needed a textbook for but insight from CC is always helpfull.</p>
<p>Thank you!</p>
<p>I know Princeton Review does not change much from each year. I checked the 2004 and the 2008 editions and they were the same thing down to page numbers and the practice tests. I usually get the last year's edition for AP prep books to save a lot of money. Only if the test format has changed, should one get the new edition.</p>
<p>You are going to get conflicting viewpoints on your prep books. Half of the people like Princeton Review and the other half like Barrons. It really depends on your style. If you like concise books, get Princeton Review. If you like long and comprehensive books, get Barrons.</p>
<p>My general thought was that Barrons would be a good idea for the ones I was self studying while princeton would be for the classes I am taking (and micro/macro)</p>
