1.0 out of 5 stars Not worth the paper it's printed on, July 28, 1999

By A Customer

This is an awful book. An entire year's worth of calculus is compressed into 50 pages. As a result of this, the material presented is utterly incomprehensible. No simple example problems are given: all of the test questions are extremely difficult. Don't expect to learn anything from this book. Avoid it like the plague.

2.0 out of 5 stars Six unhelpful practice exams, May 8, 2002

By	"shizuku_san" (Seattle, WA) - See all my reviews

Knowing AP Calculus AB would be a tough class and that the exam would be even harder, I bought this book before the first day of class. I anticipated using it as a quick reference throughout the year and for extensive review and practice as exam day neared.

I looked through the review section a few times during the year but it wasn't helpful when I missed a lecture or when I didn't understand a homework problem. Quite simply, my class notes were a much better source.

I left plenty of time to take all six practice exams included in this book-however, because the exams in this book were unhelpful, I ended up taking only one of them. The multiple-choice questions are much more difficult than they are on the actual exam. The answer choices for the non-calculator portions of the multiple-choice are in decimal form. I just took out my calculator for the last step of changing the exact answer to a decimal approximation. However, this seems like an obvious error that should never have been allowed to go to publication. It's typical of the quality of REA's "best test prep" series.

The free-response questions are closer to free-response questions on the actual exam, but the free-response sections of the practice tests are not divided into calculator and non-calculator portions as they are on the actual exam. Besides, you can download real past AP Calculus AB free-response exam questions from the College Board's website for free, so I wouldn't recommend paying for the ones in this book.

I found the practice exams in the Apex Learning and the Arco books much more helpful, so I recommend either of those instead of this one. Do not waste your money on this book.

3.0 out of 5 stars great test material but not a good study guide, April 12, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: AP Calculus AB with CD-ROM -The Best Test Preparation for the (Paperback)

I purchased this book to help me study for the calculus ab test last year. The 6 tests they provide are very similar to the actual test, but the study material they provide is extremely weak. You should not buy this book for a study guide. But if you're looking for a test that will help you get familiar with the test, then this is the one.
