 IT'S GOOD! February 26, 2003

I bought this book along with AP Calculus Princeton Commenting on the content of this book, I would agree that the questions are tougher. They are even tougher than the Princeton Review Problem Sets. My advice is that to use both books. The Princeton book is good for explaination and basic calculus Q's. The Barronn's is good for harder Q's and additional explaination to the (BC) parts of the book.
Very helpful September 30, 2004

I had several sources to help me do well in AP Calculus AB. One of them was this book.
Finney, Demana et al. "Calculus: Graphical, Numerical, Algebraic" just doesn't include enough problems. To boot, the presentation is pretty poor as too many images are bombarded at your eyes. Barron's includes a lot of extra problems for you to make sure you can apply what you know.
Provided that you work hard in class and outside, this book can help you get a five.
Amazing Calc. prep book. September 11, 2002
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
This book is great for calculus, whether you're taking the AP calc test or not. It has many of the basic tricky questions that teacher my try to give you on tests and also shows you how to solve them so that when you see the AP test, you'll know what to do. It's also in a very easy to understand format and tons of practice questions. I got a 5 on the AP Calc. AB exam, so I think it helped.
A great buy July 2, 2002

I used the '98 edition of this book to study for the AP Calculus exam. This book, combined with a superb Calculus teacher at school, helped me receive a 5 on the Calculus AB exam. The practice problems at the end of each chapter are great and are very similar to the real thing. The practice tests are harder, but also helped me prepare. This book is great and helped me a lot,but I used it only to study for the multiple choice. I used old Calculus written answer questions to study for that part. I highly recommend this book, which is not only great for review but also good for self-study.
Excellent practice and review January 1, 2008

This book has lots of sample tests and review questions that helped me a lot when I was studying for the AP Calculus BC exam. The review was very thorough and covered all of the material that was on the exam, and there was even material not on the exam (those are marked with an asterisk and you can safely skip over them). The sample exams were very helpful although the questions are slightly more difficult than those from the actual exam. The same types of questions (albeit easier) appeared on the actual exam. After studying for the exam using this book and old exams, I found the actual exam to be very easy, especially compared to the exam questions in this book. So if you feel unprepared and want to over-prepare to feel confident, I highly recommend this book.
