Requested Thoughts on AP Classes

<p>Since my senior year seems like it will amount to Library I-IV, I have started looking into independent study. I have already been offered AP Chemistry and I will have access to a lab and a teacher for this subject. I was also thinking about AP Euro and World as "do it yourself" subjects as well as AP Psychology, which will be supplemented by a refular class. I would greatly appreciate suggestions for textbooks, review books for when AP time eventually comes, and general comments on these subjects. Cheers and thanks in advance.</p>

<p>AP Chem: Go to CB's website and get all of the old FRQ's. If you learn how to do all of them (they basically reuse them over and over with different numbers and questions) you'll be fine. I'd suggest PR for review, as well.</p>

<p>AP World or Euro: get a used text and read it once...then use Barron's for Euro or PR for World, IMO, since for Euro you need a little more information while World is solely general trends.</p>

<p>Psych: Just read Barron's and "5 Steps to a 5" and you should be able to get a 5 hehe</p>

<p>AP Chem: get a textbook too. My class used Brown Lemay Bursten, but there are also Chang, Zumdahl and some others. Do all of the chapter questions in the textbook.
PR is definately the best to review, but to learn Barrons might be better.</p>

<p>you don't have to do all the chapter questions in a text book.</p>

<p>just do what ziggy said....... ziggy is very intelligent in these things.</p>

<p>grab the FRQ and do them. ALL.</p>

<p>might wanna get a text book just to read through once b4 you try questions.</p>

<p>whoops, I thought getting a textbook was a given. yeah i used Brown Lemay Bursten and it was decent. I've heard Chang is better, though. Can anyone back this up?</p>

<p>also: I'm flattered, evilbooya ;).</p>
