What about the 2005 Kaplan book and the amsco book by newman and schmalbach?\n\nWhat AP U.S. history book has the closest version of questions to the real questions on the AP test?

I'd usually go got the Newman.\nFor sure all real AP is harder but AP gets better information resources.

Here's what I've learned while in AP courses. None of this is a secret:\n1. It's honestly way too late for you to look into tips and stategies. With future APs, always look into a study guide, such as the Cracking the AP series published by the Princeton Review.\n2. As for how its scored, the AP English exam consists of multiple choice questions and a free response essay section. The multiple choice questions account for 45% of your score, and the essay counts for 55%. Being a good BS-er will get you part of the way, but not as far as many think. \n3. If you get a multiple choice question wrong, it's minus 1/4 of a point. But I'd still recommend making an educated guess. It's worth it.\n4. Finally, whether you get a 1-5 is not determined, necessarily, by how well you do. It's determined by how well everyone else does. Hundreds of thousands of students will be taking the exam. If they don't know what they're doing, the better you'll do. The 1-5 is given by your score in relation to the average score by all test takers. For more information, go to CollegeBoard.com (they write the APs).

pay for kaplan or princeton review for sample questions (you definitely need those) and listen to how they teach you to approach each part of the test (biosciences, physciences, verbal reasoning, essay)

Check out websites of curriculum providers and look for Scope and Sequence charts to see what matches up for what you want to take.\nFor example, I'm using Lifepacs, Alpha Omega publishers. I have a particular sequence I want to follow for her four years of highschool, and I found that Lifepacs follows that sequence the closest.\nThe Scope and Sequence charts are really helpful for things like history, language arts, and elementary level sciences.\nAs for Alg 1 and 2, they are pretty basic, I recommend Saxon or Math U See depending on your choice of media.\nCost? Varies greatly. Lifepacs are $50 per course (average including tax, but not shipping) Saxon can run close to $70 or so and Math U See is top end around $100\nThere are less expensive programs out there, you just have to decide what you are looking for.\nBut check out curriculum providers, and look at their scope and sequence to get an idea of what matches your needs.\nthe best thing about homeschooling is you do not conform to what is offered. You find what meets your needs.

I am also preparing for the AP Calculus Exam in 2006 and I can tell you that the points that I saw emphasized most in taking practice former AP tests were solids of rotation (disc, washer, and shell), the fundamental thereom of Calculus (what integral means), U-substitution, derivative rules, Riemann sums, speed, linearization (finding the slope of the tangent line),  volume of known cross sections, concavity and inflection points, the area between two curves, differentiability and continuity, local and global extrema (critical points and end points), implicit differentiation equations, trignometric derivatives, the rule of exponential growth (like volume increasing at a rate proportional to the radius), average value of a function, optimization, and related rates.  I know that is a lot but I have taken 5 complete practice AP tests (former tests) in class since February and all of these concepts were reccuring.

TAKE KAPLAN! There is a reason that they are the test prep leader.  It's the only way to go!

Go to a local book store (ie. Barnes & Noble, Borders) and buy a Regents review book.  (Barron's Blue or Red review books..blue might be better b/c it has more info and then a test...red is just exams to practice)

Your question can't be answered by searching just ONE site.\n\nI think it's best you start with one place and go on to the next to compare. For US, I recommend going to www.collegeconfidential.com first.

Go us, both taking the Euro test in three days! I've been skimming through my book and going over the notes we've taken throughout the year. As long as I have a decent grasp on a lot of major things (what this battle was about and who won it, blah blah blah) I hope I'll be fine.\n\nGood luck to you!

Wow. You're really going all out to prepare for the MATH 2. Kudos to you!\n\nFrom what I know, the Barron's practices are VERY much harder than the actual test. The good thing is that they overprep you so that when you do take the real test, you'll find it so much simpler and will probably ace it.\n\nI used Princeton for Math 1 and I found that it was pretty similar to the real SAT. I'm not too sure about the Kaplan book. You should go to www.collegeconfidential.com to check the forums. They should be able to give you a better idea of how best to prepare for the test.\n\nGood luck for your SAT.

Kaplan and Princeton Review sell prep books.  Buy one, and take the practice tests.

Believe it or not, (don't laugh) you can try A+ For Dummies. I laughed at it when I first saw but the book is pretty darn thorough and simple to understand. Even Fred Flinstone could pass the test with this book! I suspect that you already know some A+ so you might want to try Quick Study Bar Charts. They're a reference guide about $5.00 each and there are 3 parts; 2 for hardware and 1 for OS. They look like plastic folders and practically indestructible with all pertinent facts concerning A+.\nhttp://barcharts.com/products.htm\nFor question answering, try http://www.proprofs.com/certification/comptia/a-plus/exams/HW-E1/exam.shtml

Look on the DOP website for sources used in making up the exam.  They will cite the law, e.g. 2C, and a few books.  These books will most likely have nothing to do with your job but there will be questions on the test based on the books so buy them and study.  Take Bernstein's course if you need help in study skills but don't count on him to have the answers like he used to.  Whatever you do, DON'T TAKE GROTH'S COURSE!!!  He is an arrogant slob that knows nothing about test prep.  He gets the answers from past tests and hopes that the same questions will be repeated next time.  I should know how I did on a promotional test without anyone's help.  I'll update my answer to let you know if I faired better than those that took courses.  In the end, your effort will determine your results, not some self-centered quack.

As far as I remember, it was all multiple choice, but that was a long time ago.  It may have changed.\n\nYour best bet is probably to get a cheap study book on A+ exams, OR check out the first link below.\n\nGood luck.

You really should have read the play, man. It's actually really good, but then again I'm a writer--I love this kind of stuff.\n\nHere's a simple, easy solution. It won't help you on a test, because test questions are too detailed, but it should be fine for your project:\nhttp://www.sparknotes.com/lit/raisin/\n\nIn the meantime, GET THAT BOOK!!!
