<li>STATISTICS
I used an REA guide that was about 300 pages long and just read through it the night before to review concepts. This class is more conceptual even though it is referred to as math. If you understand the concepts in the review guide then you are golden for the test. The test itself is not particularly difficult. Do well on the MC and you will have wiggle room on the FRQ’s. </li>
</ol>
<p>Conclusion: Do not waste tons of your time studying for this test. There are plenty of other AP’s that are much more difficult and time consuming that you should devote your time to.</p>

<li>CHEMISTRY
Books: Zumdahl and Barrons (for reference purposes)</li>
</ol>
<p>Chemistry came easy to me therefore I spent less time studying for this test than others might. However, I would say it is imperative to get a good text such as Zumdahl and just read through the chapters that cover AP concepts. I thought this book explained things excellently and also provides other interesting insight into industrial applications that make the reading more bearable. Also, DO PRACTICE FRQ’s FROM PREVIOUS YEARS. THIS IS IMPERATIVE. </p>
<p>Conclusion: This one requires a little more studying than the average AP exam depending on the test taker. Some will find this test to be much much easier than others will. As long as you prepare yourself with a good text and practice problems you will be fine.</p>

<li>MACROECONOMICS
This is another straight forward test in my opinion. Buy a review guide. I used 5 Steps to a 5 and thought it did perfectly fine in teaching the concepts needed for this test. AGAIN STUDY ALL FRQ’s FROM PREVIOUS YEARS. The FRQ’s each year are similar in many regards if you compare them from year to year. Especially FRQ 1. </li>
</ol>
<p>Conclusion: This test to me is not a very difficult one to prepare for. Again, some will need one day to study for it while others will need weeks. Just get a review guide that is reputable and you are good to go.</p>
