5.0 out of 5 stars Great Prep Book for AP Psych, September 3, 2005

This review is from: 5 Steps to a 5 on the AP: Psychology (5 Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations Series) (Paperback)

I definitely recommend this prep book. I got a 5 on the test, and this book explains everything really clearly. As long as you study the book readily, you can pass the test EASY.

This review is from: 5 Steps to a 5 on the AP: Psychology (5 Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations Series) (Paperback)

This is the best AP Psychology review book out there (although Barron's has a truly excellent book too). It has large print, so it can be read in a relaxed setting. It is extremely comprehesive, as it manages to cover all aspects of the test (and then some). It was much clearer than my textbook in many of the explanations (such as operant conditioning, and learning in general). I breezed through the test and got a 5. I cannot recommend this guide enough!

4.0 out of 5 stars I wish I had used it more, August 3, 2005

This review is from: 5 Steps to a 5 on the AP: Psychology (5 Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations Series) (Paperback)

This book was great and very user friendly. I knew it had everything (and more) that my text book had. Regardless, I didn't even read the whole thing as I didn't have time too, but the "rapid review" was what I completly read. However, I ended up with a 4 on the test. To begin with it is an easy test, but imagine what you can do if you read the whole thing!
