<p>I'm now studying AP Chem on my own. What prep books are better??</p>
<p>My teacher recommended Princeton Review.</p>
<p>Princeton Review is definitely the best. It is concise and clear. It has all the information you need for the AP, no more, no less. Plus, the practice tests closely mirror the real tests. I know from experience because last year's AP Chem test included 3-4 questions that were almost exact replicas of those on the practice book. This book alone helped me get a 5.</p>
<p>My AP Chem teacher last year was completely useless. I studied from the Barron's book and miraculously pulled out a 4. I took a gander at the Princeton Review, and I just didn't like the way it was set up. I suggest going to the book store and flipping through both books and determine which layout you like better.</p>
