The best AP Chemistry book December 1, 2009

8 out of 8 found this review helpful
This Princeton Review AP Chemistry book is very concise and accurate. I use it as a reference for my high-school chemistry, SAT II Chemistry, and AP Chemistry students.
If you want even more examples and exercises, combine this book with Schaum's Beginning Chemistry Third Edition by David E. Goldberg.
A top reference for any student's study collection November 13, 2009

Paul Foglino's CRACKING THE AP CHEMISTRY EXAM, 2010 EDITION offers similar coverage: if it's on the AP Chemistry Exam, it's in this book - from tables and diagrams to the basics of writing great essays. From planning for the test to using resources, this is a top reference for any student's study collection.
Great way to learn chemistry June 10, 2010

This book conveys more usable info with fewer words than any other book I can think of.
While the book is great for its purpose -- preparing for the AP exam -- it should also be considered for use during class as a concise summary (or preview) of the points on each topic. Sometimes texts suffer from using too many words -- the student drowns in the words as he/she seeks the point. This book lays out the punch line right at the beginning, with a concise explanation.
Very good AP Exam Preparation August 21, 2010

My AP Chemistry teacher decided to order everyone in my class copies of this book. She has been using it for several years and loves it. I must say I agree. The book goes through Chemistry subjects one at a time and explains the content well. It provides all information needed to do well on the AP Test. It provides an estimate of how frequent the objective will be tested on the exam, which is helpful when deciding which chapters to focus on more. Also, there is a review quiz at the end of each chapter. I found this especially helpful, because it helped me gauge whether I could move on to another chapter or needed to review again. There are two full-length practice tests in the back. These are just like the real thing. It helps with preparation, because you will know what to expect when exam time comes. If you want to do your best on the exam, I highly recommend buying this!
The best review book for AP Chemistry! Helped me get a 5! September 3, 2010
Imen Boussayoud (New York)
I loved this book! I purchased this book and the Barron's review book for AP Chemistry, and its very obvious that this book was the better of the two. Keep in mind though, that this is only a review book and it only goes over certain ideas/formulas that you have to know. For this book to be helpful to you, you must already have a good grasp of AP chemistry and you do have to study regularly the whole year. I like how it breaks the topics up and just uses a couple of sentences to state a rule/explain a formula/explain an idea. The multiple choice questions for each chapter are EXACTLY like the questions in the actual AP exam, and so are the short response/essay questions. If you go over every chapter, review the ideas, do ALL the multiple choice questions/essay questions you are sure to get that 5!
**Also, the practice tests in the back are harder than the actual test, so keep that in mind! I loved this book because it showed me exactly what to expect and the questions are exactly like those on the actual AP exam. The AP exam was no surprise for me and I got a 5!
I HIGHLY recommend this book.
