2.0 out of 5 stars Mistakes in book = mistakes on test, May 29, 2008

This review is from: 5 Steps to a 5 AP Calculus AB - BC, Second Edition (5 Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations Series) (Paperback)
This book has way too many mistakes to be used as a good AP Prep book.

These mistakes aren't even typos,instead they get formulas wrong, answers wrong, etc.

Luckily we are a "math" family and this was just a refresher for my daughter. I wrote this review, however, out of concern for a student who is really needing a Prep book to really prepare...and do well on the exam.

The Princeton Review books seem to consistently get positive reviews. I am getting that one as a substitute.

Good luck on your AP's:).

1.0 out of 5 stars Error-riddled text = avoid, March 27, 2008
By 
Petrosian (New York, NY) - See all my reviews
This review is from: 5 Steps to a 5 AP Calculus AB - BC, Second Edition (5 Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations Series) (Paperback)
Within the first 10 pages of the "Comprehensive" Review , I found three typographical errors, one of which mangled a well-known mathematical fact.

This is inexcusable for any mathematics text, let alone a review text.

This book (somehow) was made into a second edition, which means either

a) a revision of the original text created these typos
b) the typos were never corrected from the first to second edition.

In either event, this book would only serve to confuse calculus students.
