The best book for preparing AP Chem?

<p>Please give me your advice:
Which book is the best for preparing AP Chem?
Thanks</p>

<p>Well, not Cliffs'. I skimmed through that sucka...and...eh...it just listed TONS of vocab words to know. I mean, ***, that helps prep you for the test how, exactly? A lot of CCers are champions for PR when it comes to Chem. I've grown into Barrons' in general. Barrons' is a ton harder than most tests, but if you do well on the book's test, you'll be more than ready for the AP exam. I'm using Barrons' tests for Lit, and I may pick up a Chem one... Idk. We'll see.</p>

<p>many people often consider that. but just how much studying do you have to do to do well on barron's tests? It'll probably take a while to get scores in the 5 range on barrons. but even if you start doing well on barron's practice tests, that doesn't mean you'll do well on the actual AP. barrons tests are hard in certain aspects/topics unrelated to the actual AP. it isn't worth it.</p>
