What prep books are good for taking the AP Psych and AP Bio exams?

<p>What are the most highly recommended books for taking the AP Psych and AP Bio exams? Also, does anyone have any prep books/study suggestions for taking the AP Stat exam? I'm self-studying all of these, so any help would be appreciated.</p>

<p>From my experience:
Bio (currently self-studying): Cliff’s
AP Psych (last year): Barron’s
AP Stat (last year): Barron’s</p>

<p>AP Bio and Psych is more or less just straight memorization. Memorize those books and you’ll be good. As for stat, make sure you have a solid understanding of all the topics under inferences; they’re extremely important. I can’t really comment that much on Bio though, as I haven’t taken the class or exam.</p>

<p>Good luck (:</p>

<p>Thank you very much! ^_^</p>

<p>No problem :slight_smile:
Oh, and another piece of advice: kind of obvious, but DON’T PROCRASTINATE. I made that mistake 5 months ago. Because I successfully self-studied an AP in a short period of time the year before, I signed up for 4 independent-studies 2 months before exam weeks, on top of the 6 AP exams for the classes I already had. Didn’t start the self-studied ones until the week before AP exams, ended up ditching 3 out of 4. Seriously, start early. </p>

<p>And yeah, sorry for the rather obvious advice, but I thought I’d emphasize this. So that no one makes the same (stupid) mistake I did. Not saying you would, though. :);;</p>

<p>I second CliffNotes for AP Biology. It is concise and integrates all the vocabulary that is needed for the exam.</p>

<p>I’ve heard good things about a new AP Bio Crash Course book.</p>

<p>What AP Bio Crash Course book? Is it possible to buy it online?</p>

<p>AP Bio. No prep book or studying…</p>

<p>I got a 5. don’t worry about the exam so much</p>

<p>^Yes, you can buy the REA AP Crash Course book at Amazon or at the REA site.</p>

<p>AP Psych=Barrons
I used that to self-study my way to a 5.</p>

<p>I concur with the others here for Psych: Barrons. Selfstudied for 5.</p>

<p>hehe yeah barron’s is great for Psych</p>
