<p>I'm in AP Chem right now, looking for a review book less for the AP exam (worry about that later), and more for just helping me get by through class.</p>
<p>I'm inclined towards Barron's simply since it's more detailed/thorough, but any other suggestions?</p>
<p>I’ve looked through PR and there seem to be good examples. I’m actually planning to use that to clear up confusion before a test next Wednesday.</p>
<p>If you’re looking to use a review book to get through the class, I would not recommend PR. It’s more useful in preparing for the actual AP since it’s more of a quick review of stuff you should’ve already learned. It’d be really hard to try and learn Chemistry from that book. I’d go for Barron’s.</p>
<p>I used Princeton Review and it was FANTASTIC. Starting a couple weeks before the exam I’d spend every day doing one chapter from the book and prior to the test I’d do multiple practice tests from the collegeboard website. I haven’t used Barron’s for Chem but I did for Math II. In my experience it’s way to difficult and made me more frustrated and confused than it did help.</p>
<p>Guess I’ll buy Barron’s for class, and PR for the exam itself. Just need a lot of lengthy, but not textbooky explanations and examples.</p>
<p>Im using the PR and I think its pretty good.</p>
