This is a fabulous test prep book. The chapters review specific topics in the AP Statistics curriculum - practice multiple choice and free response questions for each topic are provided. Six full length model exams are provided as well. Our class utlizes these questions on a regular basis - while we study a particular topic, to spiral topics throughout the year, and as test prep in the months preceding the exam. The questions are on par or slightly more challenging that the real exams - which is the perfect level to prepare students properly to score well on the exam. Recommend this highly to all AP Statistics teachers.

I used this review book mostly for its practice tests. I did skim through the review section of the book, but I spent the majority of my time with the practice tests. I love the practice tests on the CD! It has a variety of options and includes 2 entire tests on the CD. Your multiple choice gets graded right after you are done and it explains why their answers are correct. The tests included in the book are also good.

Baron helped me get a 5 on the AP Stats Exam!

Hint for the AP: Review your vocabulary before the test and start studying more than 1 day before![Know Type 1 vs Type 2 Errors!]

Good luck on your exams!

... my daughters have tried several and they that the Barron's Series is the best of the revision books that they have tried both for AP and SAT.

I home schooled my son for the year he took AP Stat and found this book usually (not always) better than the text book. There were a lot of practice problems at the end of each section - typically 30 but one section had about 50. With the CD Rom there are so many practice tests you can't run out.

We also bought the two "released exams" for AP Stat from the College Board's online store and downloaded (free) the last 10 years worth of Free Response Questions but didn't have time to work through them all. The questions in Barron's aren't exactly like the ones on the released exams which tend to be lighter on calculation and more on thinking through the issues. It really helped to do the multiple choice questions on the Barron's and then the MC on the released exams. After the first test my son got about 35% which is a 3 and then corrected all his mistakes and got a 45% (a 4) on the next released exam.

The companion Barron's AP Stat flash cards are helpful also as a quick review.

The fifth updated edition of Martin Sternstein, Ph.D.'s AP STATISTICS offers the latest review and practice tests, explaining all questions and including review topics in four general themes. A CD-ROM presents two additional full-length exams and a bonus CD-ROM presents calculator trial software, making for the perfect statistics study guide.

I received this product only 2-3 days after I had ordered it, and in perfect condition. The Barron's itself is probably the best product for the AP Statistics Exam. If you want this book, make sure to buy it from here especially since it will probably by cheaper than anywhere else.
