<p>I know there is a sticky, but I want more insight on what books are good for my courses. Here is a list of what exams I will be taking</p>
<p>AP US Gov (will be taking honors in school, so self study)
AP Stats
AP Euro
AP Physics C: both M and E&M
AP English Lit
AP Comp Gov - I already have Ethel Woods, do I need anything else? I am self-studying for this btw.
AP Human Geo - already have barrons (self study), do I need a textbook?</p>
<p>I use princeton review for everything.</p>
<p>Well, except AP English classes; all prep books do for those is outline the test, give you a lot of vocab, and include a couple practice tests. Hopefully your English teacher gives you enough practice for the test in class.</p>
<p>And depending on your teacher, you may not even need a prep book. Especially for your math course.</p>
<p>I find prep books really helpful and I have always used them in my previous AP classes to do well in the class and on the exam. Thanks, any more opinions?</p>
<p>bump (10 char)</p>
<p>bump once more..</p>
<p>i heard that Ethel Woods is all you need for AP comparative gov. what's your experience with it right now?</p>
<p>PR, 5 Steps to a 5 (best for review, not study), Barron's.</p>
<p>ethel woods is all you need for comparative government.
i haven't gotten my scores back but i will let you know. i only read half of that book and felt pretty good after the test. however, i did take international business and Model United Nations, which did make a difference since one of our essay question was on transparency and many kids didn't know what it was but that is a major issue in MUN..haha
ethel woods + world knowledge is the way to go.
if you want a 5...you should have knowledge of the world to pull examples from as well.</p>
