<p>I know this has probably been posted a hundred times, but could someone link me, or tell me which review books would be good for the following AP classes: Comparative Gov, US Gov, Human Geo, English Lit, European History, Macroeconomics, and Psychology. </p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>European History - I used Princeton Review and got a 5. I’ve also heard good things about the AP Achiever.
Psych - I’m currently self-studying with Barron’s and it’s great (:</p>

3

<p>Psychology hands down. Don’t get the textbooks, they hold about 1/10 the information of Barron’s. For my class it was required to buy it and NOT use the textbook lol!</p>

<p>US Gov- Barron’s is very good. I used it and got a 4 and had a teacher who did nothing in class. My sister got a 5 with Barron’s.</p>

<p>Psychology- I self-studied it with 5 Steps to a 5 and got a 5.</p>

<p>Euro- I didn’t really use a prep book. I had one, but mostly just studied my notes from class because they were more informative.</p>

<p>Lit- I didn’t really use the prep book much, but it was Barron’s.</p>

<p>Comparative Gov - Ethel Woods
US Gov - REA Crash Course
Human Geo - Princeton Review or REA
English Lit - Barrons & Cliffs
European History - Princeton Review
Macroeconomics - Princeton Review
Psychology - Barrons</p>

<p>Thanks guys, and one more question. A lot of people are recommending both Princeton Review, and Cliffs for Biology. Which one is actually better?</p>

<p>DEFINITELY Cliffs for Bio. Got a 5 on the AP Exam by using that book…</p>

<p>CLIFFS
CLIFFS
CLIFFS
just learned how to do this but cliffs is really important.
used it for selfing this year (along with campbell textbook) and got five.</p>

<p>How good are 5 steps to a 5 books? Do they come with practice exams? (mainly looking at them because they’re so pretty AHAHHA)</p>

11

<p>^5 Steps to a 5 books are generally decent. I’ve used several of them. All of them come with practice tests.</p>

<p>AP Bio Cliffs FTW</p>
