I purchased the Cracking the AP Lang exam book by Princeton Review in January. I studied, highlighted, and made great use of the book, but I feel as if the multiple choice strategies section is rather short, and doesn't give me enough tips and practice. The essay section is better, but still pretty condensed. I'd go with Barron's, it's more detailed and has more practice exams. I have the exam on Wednesday, and I feel pretty confident w/ Barrons.

Honestly, Princeton Review could do much better. However, if you are looking for a book than can strengthen your vocabulary for the exam, this IS THE BOOK YOU ARE LOOKING FOR. I, on the other hand, was merely looking for strategies, which it provided but lacked in some way. Overall, its OKAY.
