just want to see if i can get some testimonials here. i want to know what are the best AP help books for all available AP classes, particularly the ones i'll be taking next year. They are:
AP Government
AP Macroeconomics
AP Physics
AP Calculus AB
AP Calculus BC
AP Literature and Composition
AP Spanish
(yeah that's right, all AP :p)
as well as the ones i'm taking this year:
AP Biology
AP Language
AP Statistics
AP US History (this class has me freakin out so much. even more so because the social sciences and i don't mix - at all. i got the "United States History: Prepaing for the Advanced Placement Examination" by Newman and Schmalbach, and i think it's pretty good. Way easier to understand than that Pageant book)
any general advice on surviving next year would help too
omg.how do you do that???
I have only one Ap class and thinks its extra hard!
[B]“He deserves paradise who makes his companions laugh”Chapter 17, Verses 23-24:D
“Fear God and he will give you knowledge”
what grade are you in? i only had one last year and it was awful. but 4 this year is especially easy, once i got my work habit up to par.
anyways...
more responses people! AP exam is in 3 months and i'd like to know what's in store for me next year also!
okay, well I'm basically the same way, I have 7 AP/AICE classes this year and 7 more next year...it really isn't all that hard when you just work. As far as review books, I usually like the Princeton Review. Everyone always tells me to get those. I feel your pain about the Pagent book, I actually prefer my WHAP book from last year b/c EVERYTHING you read was important, not two sentences out of fifteen...As far a APUSH goes, I'm sick of social sciences too, I much prefer laboratory sciences, natural sciences, and math...PM me if you want a study buddy!

i use the princeton review and kaplan books.
dont worry though friedchickun, your class might not be that hard if you "improves your grammars"
haha sorry, i had to do that, that probably wasnt even your fault but im a severe nitpicker for spelling and grammar.. :D
btw aice kid, your stuff is like way opposite me, i HATE science and math (except biology), but i love english and social sciences. :D
maybe you should be my study buddy, you can help me with math and chem, and even though your like a grade ahead of me with alot more AP experience, maybe i can still find a away to help you, i mean im sure i can figure something out, because i dont just think outside the box, i hang out outside of it and sleep out of the box occasionally too. haha =P

For Life
i'm a math/science buff too aice. these princeton books, anybody actually used them (and got a 5, or a 4) and felt it helped them?
I used the Princeton Review for WHAP last year and I got a 4. It actually did help me, which is weird b/c I am not good at studying...
My AP Chem teacher gives us sample tests out of his Princeton Review book and they are very helpful to our classes....
Drummer..........of course I'll be your study buddy (you need all the help you can get! lol, j/k!), but seriously, just keep PMing me ;)

For Biology, the CliffsAP Biology book is viewed as the best by the students, but the Kaplan (a bit more expensive) is view best by the AP Biology teachers. Go to [URL=http://www.biology.synced.org/]http://www.biology.synced.org[/URL]/ and you'll find the lowest priced AP Books at the bottom (about 3-4 dollars with shipping)!!!
In my opinon, you shouldn't need a review book for AP US Government. Seriously, I hardly tried in that class last year, got straight A's, and got a 4 on the test, finishing an hour and a half early.
AP US History you should do fine in as well as long as you just read the textbook and spread out your review period during the month or so before the test, instead of putting all your studying in 7 days before the test. I never touched a review book, just did all my homework and kept up with the reading assignments.
I think review books are dumb, but I have a penchant for memorizing facts as soon as i read them. And I never took an AP math or econ type course, so I don't know about them. I'm bad at math and science.
