The Princeton Review is concise, straightforward, and teaches test-taking strategies in addition to the chemistry. I was stuck in a bad AP class, used the book and got a 4.

The practice tests were of realistic difficulty and the book was very good at explaining concepts that I had never learned or may have forgotten.

My bookshelf is full of princeton review books haha. This one did not fail me. Though you probably won't get a 5 from slacking off all year and hoping to cram this book, it's definitely a great review book that will outline for you what you need to study for.

It's helpful to read the book's content and use it as a guide to know where to study, but it's necessary to use supplementary notes taken from class.
I didn't take any of the practice tests in the back but judging from the end-of-the-chapter quizzes, the MC questions given were NOTHING like the real exam's.

Princeton's MCs are way too simple. The real exam had a lot of diagrams that I honestly wasn't ready for.

Overall this book was extremely helpful. I can remember slight instances where the book had motivational phrases lol.

By the way I received a 5 on the exam and 800 on the SAT II. Can't complain with those results ahah.

Great book if you need to prepare for an AP exam. Highly recommend this book.

and it arrived in good condition, and though he is still struggling (probably because of bad study habits on his part), he has found the book to be extremely helpful.
