2.0 out of 5 stars
Review is Helpful, Test is Not,
This review is from: Barron's AP Chemistry (Paperback)
The review in this book is pretty good. That's why I like it. But the practice tests have to be taken with a grain of salt. Many of the questions on there are just ridiculous. 2-dimensional diagrams of pi bonds: probably not on the test (especially the rather crudely drawn ones presented here). And the math is not representative of the AP Chemistry test. On the real test, you are not expected to do complex logarithms and square roots in your head. And, as mentioned earlier, the answer key is riddled with mistakes. These include answers to the wrong question, thinking the question was the opposite of what was asked, and answers that just don't match up with calculations. Also, their explanations are short at best.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Comprehensive but a lot of superfluous information,
By Cindy A. (Houston, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Barron's AP Chemistry (Paperback)
Mastering all the contents of this book would guarantee you a 5, but is not always an easy thing to do. I bought this book 2 weeks before the test and found it extremely difficult to cram all of its contents (I have 100 in AP Chem)in such a short period of time. It was even more upsetting when the AP came out to be not even half as difficult.
If you have a solid background of AP Chemistry and just need a review book that is concise with a lot of good practices, I would recommend Princeton Review. ( Trust me, Princeton Review is more than enough to get you a 5. Don't get yourself panic by buying this overly-complicated book)

Barron's AP Chemistry,
This review is from: Barron's AP Chemistry (Paperback)
Barron's AP Chemistry Exam Prep book is better than Princeton Review because after owning both, you realize that Barron's includes more exercises, more complex problems, and better explanations.
HOWEVER, this book is FULL of mistakes. Just way too many for me to list. Not only typos but calculation mistakes, wrong answers, etc. So, as you solve the problems you really have to think and can't always trust the book. If you are going to start studying in September, I would recommend you this book, but if you procrastinate and start in March, then don't get it because it could confuse you.
