I asked the same question here and to one of my friends, and here are the answers I got:
The answer on CC: http://talk.collegeconfidential.com/mathematics-computer-science/1728699-which-ap-calculus-bc-prep-book-should-i-buy.html

And my friend told me to get James Stewart’s Calculus with Early Transcendental Functions, which he specifically said was “simply the best”.

Hope this helps you.

@kingkhan11‌ Why are you bumping this thread? You’ve already got your answers. 4 books have been suggested.

5

Actually only TWO books have been suggested Mr. Jackson

Actually Dr. Hawking, if you checked my original post, you will see that I posted a link, which leads to another thread where 2 books have been recommended. The 3rd book suggestion was posted under the link. The fourth one was suggested by Te4mVygrin.

So instead of resorting to cheap name calling, it would be highly advisable to actually read the posts.

I didn’t pick up that reference, who’s dr hawking?

8

Stephen Hawking; a theoretical physicist and cosmologist.
Or, in plain words, a really smart guy.
Who’s Mr. Jackson?

This posts reviews Barron’s, Princeton Review, 5 Steps to a 5, and REA’s Calc books if you’re struggling to make a decision: http://www.learnerator.com/blog/best-ap-calculus-review-books-2015/

Barron’s - hard but challenging (teaches you more than you have to know)
Princeton Review - just right difficulty
5 Steps to a 5 - good for practice, especially those 500 questions books (although be careful as some of the questions are incorrect or the numbers are wrong, as in the physics one)

Thanks everyone! I purchased Barrons. Anyone have tips or reviews about it?
