 AP chem? Not so tough when you've got PR! May 13, 2008

I'm a junior in AP chemistry. I've slacked off all year, my grades on exams were generally Bs and Cs, but I wanted a chance for redemption: I intended to do well on the AP chemistry exam. Not just well -- I wanted a 5.
So, a few days before the exam, intimidated by the voluminous textbooks, filled with dry, academic pages, I decided to wander into my local book-store to purchase this little gem. It looked like it covered all the topics that I had no clue about on my class exams, so figured that I could learn from this book -- and I was right!
I spent a total of 10 consecutive hours reading the book, doing all the practice problems, and going over what I did wrong. I learned a lot -- I essentially doubled my knowledge of chemistry over the course of less than a day. When the exam came, I walked into the test center, a little nervous, but confident overall because I'd prepared. As I completed the exam, I was in shock as to how easy the questions were. That was for the multiple choice. I said to myself, "there's no way in heck that the free responses will be this easy!".
I was wrong. When I did the free-response, I found myself able to wield the tools of chemistry like a guy who'd actually paid attention all year. With confidence, I completed each question in full confidence: there was nothing that I didn't know how to do on the free responses (okay, there was one part of an essay, but meh).
I am confident that because of this book, I scored a five. Not just a "skin-of-my-teeth" five, but a true, solid A.
If you want to prepare for AP chemistry, read this book, do the exercises, and relax. You're on your way to a five.

So far I've used this book as a study guide and as an extra source of practice problems for my AP chem class. It's really helpful and helped me on my tests. It also seems good to review for the AP test. It explains concepts in a simple way. The problems and answers provided are clear and very similar to real AP questions.

I believe one of my quotes are in this book. ;D I used the 07 book and I got a four despite not finishing ONE of my essays so I guess this will work for you!
The Best Preparation Possible May 6, 2008

This book is brilliant. Like all Princeton Reviews, this book is as concise as it is thorough. Critics underrate the value and usefulness of this book due to its lack of content. While it's true that this book does not cover everything you need to know to answer every question correctly on the exam, it covers enough for you to be prepared to answer the majority of the questions and to make educated guesses on the few that you may not know (remember, you can skip almost one-third of the questions and still get a five!).
Get this book if you want to spend the least amount of time reviewing while still having a very good shot at getting a five on the AP exam. Don't listen to those who say that this book "isn't enough"; it is.

This book is easy to understand and sifts through a lot of the extra stuff in chemistry textbooks to tell you what is important. It only costs about $15 and is very helpful. I think I am learning more out of this book than I am in my chemistry class. When I pass the AP test I know it will be due much more to this book than it will be to my AP Chemistry class. I would recommend this book to anyone.
