Answer 1

Warning: The Princeton Review guides are EXTREMELY basic and if you're looking for everything you need to know for the exam, this isn't the book for you. If you want a very simply layout, go for it, but if you want any sort of detail these books are c**p.

Answer 2

Princeton Review.

A simple layout, organized material, and splashes of humor make Princeton Review books the best test prep books I've ever used.

I would NOT recommend getting a prep book for English Lit, which is based more on your writing ability. To prepare for this, you need real live people to critique your writing. The multiple-choice portion of it is really not much to worry about.

AP Biology is definitely one of the harder AP tests out there. Buy a prep book and plan to spend a good month or two of hard studying on it.

To recap, Princeton Review books do the best job, and have the most intuitive tests. They also seemed to be organized in a similar way to the textbooks I used in class, although this will vary, of course.

Have fun!

Use The REA books they go into depth when explaining the material. Many of my friends used the book and recieved 4's and 5's. You can google REA .
