<p>next year i'll be taking ap chem, bio, stat, macroecon, us gov, eng lit
since chem and bio are supposed to be the most difficult classes at my school, i would like to pre study (or at least get a little ahead) the courses. How should i go about doing that for chem and bio?? which prep books should i buy and read and practice??</p>
<p>For chem, I suggest getting Princeton Review's AP Chem book. It was pretty good review during the AP test.</p>
<p>Also taking AP Chemistry next year, and I have the Chemistry PR book. Since I took Honors Chemistry more than a year ago, and have forgotten most of that stuff, the PR book was not really helpful. It expects you to already understand the concepts and merely go over the important points. Good for last minute review, but not if you're trying to learn it for the first time. I use internet resources to pre-study.</p>
<p>This is the one I've been using exclusively. Go overs things pretty well if you have forgotten everything like me:

<p>yeah AP chem is the hardest class at my school as well. a kid who got one of few As in the class said to definitely prepare during the summer.</p>
<p>similar situation, BrightRed. I took honors chem sophomore year, and have indeed forgotten almost everything. and also with Akittka, the AP chem class at my school is known to kill students 4.0's as there are only about 3 A's out of 35-40 a year. And, so far, i do have a 4.0 and i dont want to lose that my senior year. thanks for the advice everyone. anyone have anything for bio?? and any other chem resources??</p>
