Barron’s AP Calculus is the best AP Calculus prep book out on the market. If you are taking Calculus AB, this book (in conjunction with an AP Calculus AB class) will do wonders for your test score. Likewise, if you are taking the Calculus BC, this book (in conjunction with an AP Calculus BC class) will do wonders for your test score. For those of you who want to take the Calculus BC but are in a Calculus AB class, the book will teach you almost everything you need to know.

If you wish to supplement your classroom text with a variety of informative review sections and practice problems, this book is an excellent choice. Here’s why I think so: In my AP calculus class of 21 students, this book was used during the second semester. (The first semester, I taught the topics from a standard text.) The second semester, each night I would assign about 15 problems, and the next day we would review the problems and have a 5-question quiz over the types of questions seen in the homework. While this book does not include free-response questions (except in the cumulative review section, something our vitriolic reviewer probably failed to locate), there is really no need for this, as the College Board lets each school KEEP the free-response questions. So, we also practiced free-response questions from the last 10 years. The bottom line: of 21 students — all of whom said they had been more than well prepared for the exam — there were (7) 5’s, (10) 4’s and (4) 3’s earned on the exam. Yes… I know, 7 + 10 + 4 = 21, which means nobody earned a 1 or 2, and right you are!

If you are a diligent student, this book is a worthy addition to your arsenal, IF you begin using it well before the exam.
