<p>What review books do you guys recommend for AP Calc BC, AP Environmental, AP Gov, AP Lit, and AP Stats?</p>

2

<p>Only review book I’d recommend is Ethel woods for Us and Comparative Gov’t. You can find it online with a google search.</p>

3

<p>Mango, Ethel’s book is the best and comes highly recommended by all for Comp. Gov’t.</p>

4

<p>Get the Rea guide for AP Environmental. Worked great for me and comes with a free online practice AP Test</p>

5

<p>EASIEST APS EVER,DONT NEED REVIEW BoKS</p>

6

<p>I strongly recommend Princeton Review for US Gov. I self studied and got a 5 with it this year.</p>

7

<p>Barron’s for Stat; the AP will be a joke (I hope).</p>

8

<p>calc i just used a textbook
for us gov i used both princeton review and crash course
i used barrons for stat
and idk about the rest</p>

9

<p>I would like to self-study Government this year and am still deciding among PR, Crash Course, and 5 Steps to a 5! I’d really like to keep it to one book but a few are fine I guess. Any tips?</p>

10

<p>and I’ve heard that 5 Steps to a 5 is awesome for APES :smiley: </p>

11

<p>Hey guys :slight_smile: If any of you have any experience with review material for…</p>

<p>AP French
AP Physics
AP Calc AB
AP Lit
AP Psych
AP US GOV</p>

<p>then it’d be awesome to hear your views. </p>

<p>oh…and my experience w/ ap books</p>

<p>5 steps to a 5 chem - very bad (although it was a reformatted test so the new versions might be good)
princeton apush - very good</p>

12

<p>Barrons is good for AP US Gov.
Princeton Review and Barrons are both good for AP Physics.</p>

13

<p>I followed this and got 5’s on psych and APUSH (the guy got 5’s on 22 AP exams and he lists the books he used to achieve it): <a href=“http://www.ivyplanners.com/documents/AP_StudyGuide-IvyPlanners.pdf”>http://www.ivyplanners.com/documents/AP_StudyGuide-IvyPlanners.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

14

<p>PR has the most concise AP Gov review while still enough information for a 5. I read it the day before the exam and got a 5.</p>

15

<p>Any good books to self-study AP Psych?</p>

16

<p>I’ve heard that Barrons is really good! I just got it in the mail and so far it seems to be very in-depth without the fluff. A lot of people recommend it.</p>

What review books do you recommend for AP World History? Also, are the flash cards worth buying. If so, which flash cards do you recommend I buy?

Thanks!

@Greninja‌ My world teacher recommends the new PR and Barron’s.

@Greninja I took APWH this year, and I would use the 5 Steps to a 5 test prep book for APWH. I had the Barron’s test prep, but it didn’t help me much. Also, in my opinion, my teacher had flashcards, but I didn’t find them very helpful. The key to succeeding in APWH is to take a lot of practice test and practice the writing portion of the APWH exam!

Which is the best for AP Physics C Mechanics?
