<li><p>I'm currently taking AP Calculus AB, but I was thinking of getting a review book and taking the BC exam. (The AB class concepts are really easy to me, but I wasn't sure if the BC part is much more difficult) Do you advise against this?</p></li>
<li><p>If i take the BC exam I heard there is a subscore for AB. What does this subscore mean?</p></li>
<li><p>Which books are best for these AP exams?</p></li>
</ol>

<ul>
<li>AP Calculus</li>
<li>AP US History</li>
<li>AP Environmental Science</li>
<li>AP Statistics</li>
<li>AP Language and Composition</li>
</ul>

<p>Thank you!</p>

<li><p>Yes get a review book, it helps a lot. If you have knowledge of the AB already, take BC. It shouldn’t be that much of a sweat to break.</p></li>
<li><p>It’s for the certs or award they give you. If you take both AB and BC at the same time, it only counts as one AP. If you only take AB, it counts as one and same with BC. </p></li>
<li></li>
<li><p>Calculus AB - Peterson’s or SNAP Workbook (the SNAP workbook are really good, but for Calculus, it’s quite broad, they do miss a few topics. But the lessons are really good.)</p></li>
</ol>

<ul>
<li><p>Calculus BC - Peterson’s</p></li>
<li><p>APUSH - PR</p></li>
<li><p>Environmental Science - Smartpant’s guide</p></li>
<li><p>Statistics - Barron’s</p></li>
<li><p>lang and comp - Cliffnotes</p></li>
</ul>
