4.0 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Cram Guide, August 13, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Cracking the AP Chemistry 1998-99 Edition (Paperback)

If you are an AP student I will recommend you to get the book. Studying the book alone won't get you a perfect score, but will improve your score for sure. The most annoying is that they have many typos--e.g. they can forget to draw the arrows in the chemical equations. Overall, however, it's good because it is concise and to the point and at the same time somewhat interesting and lively. I found that the most valuable thing about the book is that it gives you an idea of what the exam is really like so that you don't get any unpleasant surprises on the test.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is THE book to buy!!!!!, October 27, 1998

If you are planning on taking the AP chemistry exam anywhere from a week to a few months from now, I strongly recommend that you purchase this book. Though I have in the past mainly bought Barrons's books for test preparation, I must say that the Princeton Review has outdown them in the AP test prep. department. I found this book to be very good at being concise and to the point, while providing those students who need extra help with extra problems with complete explanations. I also discovered this book to be very good at keeping the discussion on all topics somewhat interesting. Personally I think that this book is the quintessential guide to doing well on the AP chemistry test, especially since I scored a 5 on the test this last year!

4.0 out of 5 stars Typical Princeton Review book., February 12, 1999

This review is from: Cracking the AP Chemistry 1998-99 Edition (Paperback)

The Princeton Review is a reliable name -- you'll get your money's worth -- and this book is standard for the series. It covers all the major areas and goes into about as much depth as you *need* for the test. If you're hoping to unlock the deeper mysteries of chemistry, this isn't the book for you, but if you're a student who slept through the class and now has two weeks left before exam time, this is a near-perfect cram guide. It helps if you have a textbook to follow along with -- the Princeton Review books are the Cliffs Notes of the standardized testing world, and relying on this book alone probably won't get you a perfect score.
