<p>I am aware that the Barron's book ( like many many other books) contains several mistakes, and I don't know how good kaplan is, but I'm waiting on it from the library.</p>
<p>Would AP 5 Steps book suffice for the SAT or does anyone have any recommendations?</p>
<p>After reading through the forums here and Amazon.com reviews, I’ve seen some very mixed reviews. <em>My</em> understanding is that Barron’s is not as good as their variant for chemistry; Princeton Review and Spark Notes have accurate tests and good explanations and Kaplan’s tests are a litte too easy but their explanations are clear.</p>
<p>I’ve only got the Kaplan book but I intend to supplement that with Spark Notes. I can vouch for the clarity of explanations. In some instances, I did get confused, but that was largely due to how I was taught the material. For example, when dealing with a mass X which is in equilibrium due to it being attached to two strings, Kaplan’s book refers to the weight of X as a “tension” (iirc), which I found quite odd to say the least. But perhaps that’s not a mistake and just a “cultural difference” or some other minor thing. At any rate, clear explanations for the most part.</p>
