Book Reviews of Barron's AP Statistics
Book Review: Better than the textbook I had to use...
Summary: 5 Stars
I never liked AP Stats. To me it was a boring, watered down class that paled in comparison to more interesting math classes like AP Calculus. So, during the course of the year, I didn't really bother to learn the stats. The teacher gave us these ridiculously detailed formula packets WITH INSTRUCTIONS AND DEFINITIONS, so the in-class tests were essentially a joke. Great for grade inflation, but lousy for when you want to take the standardized AP Stats exam which affords the tester no notes. It was about a week before I took the exam that I turned to Barron's.
The subject matter is very well explained. Heck, it's clearer than the presentation in Utts, and the problems are actually worth doing (AP level and above in terms of thinking needed) unlike those in elementary stats textbooks. So as I diligently worked for about 4 hours per day during the week before the exam, I found myself quite knowledgeable about statistics and even began to see that it wasn't as boring as I thought it was.
The book covers absolutely everything you need, from the various tests to how to use the calculator. The problems make SURE you understand the stuff and have it burned into your head come test day. The practice tests, while MUCH harder than the AP stats test I took for real, gave me a good sense of the distribution of the topics as well as what it's like to do stats problems in the "real" time limit. Overall, this is a very comprehensive and well written guide and will help you do well on the exam. If you're interested, I got a 5.
Good luck!
