Summary: Excellent preparation for the AP exam
Review: My daughter used this book to prepare for the AP and felt that it was excellent, especially for the writing part of the exam. She thought the book was logical in its flow, and liked that they gave example essays and explained why each essay was good, poor, or mediocre. This helped her understand how they score the exam.

While she did not need the advice on the multiple choice, the advice provided was sound and complete. She said the sample problems were just like on the exam. The book explains "literary terms", but does not have a vocab list. It advocates that if your teacher is not giving you vocab lists, you need to get some. She thought they may have pointed you to a web site but couldn't remember for sure, since she had good vocab lists from her teacher.

My daughter had a very good, demanding teacher, but felt that this book gave her additional help. She scored a 5 on the exam.
