-Score higher by reviewing key calculus concepts
-Earn more points by familiarizing yourself with the format of the test
-Safeguard yourself against traps that can lower your score

4.0 out of 5 stars Covers everything you need., May 6, 2004
By "btangarone" (Hampstead, NH USA) - See all my reviews
I have used this book for extra preparation for AP Calculus AB exam, besides taking the course at school.

I took my exam a few days ago (and I did very well), and I must say the book covered everything that was tested. A weakness, however, would be that it is hard to determine which of the chapters refer to AB and which - to BC (yet this is not impossible, since the book contains a list of topics where this info is indicated).

The explications of topics are easy to follow and understand. Also, if you use this book, you'll sure have enough practice exercises for each and every topic, as well as 3 Practice AB Calc tests (full size) and 2 BC Calc tests.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better Than Any Textbook, May 8, 2005
By Projectile Fetus (Frisco, CO USA) - See all my reviews
My school only offers AP Calculus AB as a class, but I wanted to take the BC test, so I decided to study up for it on my own. I tried using my school textbook, but its explanations of concepts were shoddy at best, and sometimes not related to anything on the AP test. I bought this book, and I can say with confidence that I would not have had a prayer on the AP test without it. In addition to providing invaluable test-taking strategies for both the multiple-choice and free-response sections, it goes over everything on the AP test, with special attention paid to the concepts that are most likely to appear on the exam. Its explanations are clear and concise, with numerous practice problems to help you make sure you've "gotten" a particular idea. The practice tests helped immensely, as well, and they were very realistic and quite similar to the real exam. One caveat: the book doesn't go over velocity and acceleration vectors, so make sure you learn these, too, for BC Calc, but that's not nearly enough to detract from the immense help that this book provides. I'm going to recommend that my school replace the Calculus textbooks with this book (or at least recommend that every student buy it).

5.0 out of 5 stars It WILL help, January 17, 2005
This book is concise and easy to understand. It's not quite as good as the Princeton Review's AP Physics B&C, but it's pretty darn close. I'd recomend it to anyone who is serious about doing well in Calculus and on the AP.
