Book Reviews of 5 Steps to a 5 AP Chemistry, 2008-2009 Edition (5 Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations)
Book Review: Great, not Awesomely Awesome
Summary: 4 Stars
The book helped. A lot!
My teacher was pretty bad, so this book helped fill in the gaps. I got a 4 on the exam. I did all the review in the book and sample questions and blah blah. Just consider this book as well amongst the other big name companies.
The book is good, great even, it will not TEACH you the concepts, only refresh them. In other words, pay attention in your chem class and bring this book with you from Day 1. It'll help you understand and show how things are related (if your text book goes out of order, like mine). Enjoy.
Book Review: The best of the AP Review books
Summary: 5 Stars
There is no better AP Chemistry Review book, says my wife, an AP Chem teacher with a history of students scoring 3-5 (rarely a 1 or 2). In fact, I can't wait for the new edition of 5 Steps to a 5 for AP Computer Programming, and all the books in the series are simply excellent.
The review is specific and detailed. The diagnostic exam at the beginning of each edition helps students zero in on those skills and areas where they are having the most problems. The book also outlines several methods and time scales to use for review, depending on how the student (or instructor) wishes to organize the review. All test questions at the end of each chapter are formatted exactly like the AP test questions and are often (if not always; it depends on the number of released items that ETS makes available for each subject) actual AP test questions. Finally, like any good test prep book, it discusses specific strategies for different sections of the exam, so students can maximize their score.
