<p>I just had to start this thread because many people (including myself) keep asking what resources are enough to self-study for one of the 33 AP tests offered and get a 5, but many of the other threads are very disorganized. </p>
<p>Based on current and past experiences with the AP tests, please post what prep books, web sites, etc. have helped you achieve high passing scores, and would help someone with minimal knowledge and dedication.</p>
<p>To start off</p>
<p>Biology: Simply read CliffsAP Biology front to back and memorize ALL the bold terms. 5 guaranteed.</p>
<p>AB and BC calculus: Peterson's Master the AP Calculus AB and BC, and Be Prepared for the AP Calculus Exam</p>
<p>^^With a month prep, you could easily get a 5 on BC, I recommend going through Peterson's first because it dumbs it down and then Be Prepared second because its more condensed...god I wish I spent more than 2 days with these books!</p>
<p>Come on people, we need to make this as good as Ryan's list!</p>
<p>This is kind of depressing guys.</p>
<p>Why would you study an AP test in such a simple way? The point of these, let's remember, is not to pass the test but to actually learn the material. Anyone who just went through memorizing bold terms remember that stuff? Didn't think so. I'm sure college biology will be loads more enlightening.</p>

<p>I memorized 1000 pages of Campbell's bio that way.</p>
<p>I mean after the exam. In a year from now, are you going to remember as much bio as you would had you taken a class? Are you going to remember enough bio that it is comparable to that which a college class would give you?</p>
