5.0 out of 5 stars Great for all year studying, July 15, 2003
By A. Georgas (Mobile, AL) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is yet another great Cliffs AP prep book. I used it only for the AB sections. I bought the book early in the school year and really only used it in preparing for my tests. If you practice everything along the way, there is really no need to use it in May for cramming. In May I would do a couple of free responses from previous AP exams, review your integral equations for finding volumes, and make sure you know all you derivatives and integrals (but you already knew that.) I made a 5, and I'm sure you will too if you prepare along the way and do some practice free responses. I would probably either get the Barron's or the Princeton Review if you plan on self studying for the BC, though.

2.0 out of 5 stars Falls short of the mark ..., June 21, 2007
Let me preface this by saying that I spent the last year helping my daughter self-study for the AP Calculus Exam given in May 2007. I bought 4 AP Calculus review guides, 2 textbooks, and looked up the openly available free response questions from the actual tests for the last 7 years. Unfortunately, I agree with the more recent reviews that this guide is inadequate. My overall impression was that Cliffs wanted to expand into other "study" areas besides their well-known CLiffs Notes in literature booklets and put this book together for such a purpose.

The book is filled with typographical errors which are annoying. More over, the book is just too easy. Anyone who has looked at the actual free response questions given on either the AB or BC tests will quickly realize the inadequacy of this book.

The AP test is no longer one in which simple differentiation and integration will carry the day. You need to know how to use your calculator to solve problems, clearly understand the Fundamental Theorem of Calculus and its applications, be able to read graphs and determine their properties as they relate to calculus, and be able to use data tables in solving problems. This book does none of these adequately.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not at all reliable, May 3, 2006
By D. Rudee (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I used this book both for Calculus BC and AB, last year, mostly to review for the AP tests. The sections explaining various concepts were marginally helpful but not especially easy to follow. However, the most severe disappointment was the practice problems and tests - what for me should have been the real purpose of the study guide. Both the questions and answers were FULL of typos, so much so that I don't know how this book got published, and I could never tell if I was actually doing the right thing because the book would be wrong. Also, the practice tests were way too easy, and mostly different types of questions than are on the real AP (which I took this morning). You'd do much better off looking at past AP tests, which are accessible online for free.
