Which books do you guys recommend for these classes?

<p>I'm planning take A.P. Biology, A.P. Spanish Language, A.P. Art History, A.P. Calculus A.B.</p>

<p>I have never taken A.P. exams before, so any helpful advice would be great.
I want to do well in these classes, so I can go to college with lots of credits.</p>

<p>I hear that Barron's has the best book for A.P. classes, especially Biology.
Questions.
I hear that if we don't pass it first time, students are still eligible retake it??
Am I correct?</p>

<p>Barron's is sometimes better for sciences. I would not recommend it for history. Math is okay.</p>

<p>You can retake it, but maybe you should just plan on doing well the first time?</p>

<p>I didn't purchase any study aids (Princeton Review, Barron's, etc.) for AP Spanish, however, my teacher gave us two aids, which I believe was greatly part of my success (I received a 5). But anyway .. Una Vez M</p>

<p>Cliffs is the best for bio IMO.</p>

<p>The only subject within my purview is Calc AB, which I took last year and received a 5 on, as I take French, am taking Bio this year, and my school doesn't even offer art history. We used "Preparing for the AB Calculus examination," by Best/Lux. It's a decent book in that it provides questions in identical format to that on the actual exam and is admittedly more difficult than the exam. If you are able to complete the majority of the questions in this book successfully, you are almost guaranteed a 4or 5 provided that you don't choke on the test. One other point worth noting is that the book neglects actual review, so you must have an adequate understanding of all AB topics before attempting problems.</p>
