Hi. I’m taking AP Chem, APUSH, AP Calc BC, and AP Lang next year. I was wondering which review books to use for each subject. From what I’ve heard so far,

APUSH: Essential Content, AMSCO (I will get both)
AP Calc BC: Barrons (Teacher requires this, but feel free to add more suggestions)

However, I haven’t been able to find agreeing reviews on review books for chem or Lang. I understand that Lang is probably hard to practice from a review book, because writing essays would probably be the most helpful, so basically I am asking for more information on AP Chem review books. I also heard that the chem test was revamped last year, so I’m confused on which review book(s) to get.

In my opinion the Barrons book for AP Calc Bc is trash because it over complicates thing and to me didnt give me a good understanding of anything (might work for you who knows). APUSH Amsco or Strive for a 5 would be good but dont stress about it I took the test yesterday and I know i definitely got a 4 and maybe even a 5. Lang is just lang, i dont really think there are good ways to practice for english multiple choice. Just worry about the calc and most importantly the Chem

Princeton Review for APUSH!! I found it very helpful for all of the histories. :slight_smile:
