Title: How to Prepare for the AP English Advanced Placement Examinations by George Ehrenhaft, Max Nadel, Jr. Arthur Sherrer ISBN: 0-7641-1230-9 Publisher: Barron's Educational Series Pub. Date: 15 March, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.95 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.5 (8 reviews)
Rating: 3
Summary: Not horrible, but not the best AP English prep book by far.
Comment: This book is packed with information that has a very slim chance of actually helping you on the test. The synopses of literary works seems redundant; all one really needs to do to study for the "number three" questions on the AP test (the only area for which a literary review would be absolutely necessary) is have a few works recently read and ready to expound upon: Hamlet, Antigone, and Candide are three good ones that come to mind. A more in-depth exploration of the multiple choice section of the test would be useful.
Checking this book out of the library might be a good idea, but I wouldn't bother purchasing it.

Summary: Dissapointed
Comment: My teacher told us to pick up a test prep guide book, and that's what I went to the library to do. However, once I flipped through the book I was dissapointed to find nothing but sample essay respones and questions. This is good if that's what your looking for, however I want more subject review. I would reccommend AP Success English Literature and Composition by Peterson's instead.

Summary: Good Guide
Comment: Just like with the Princeton Review, I have no idea why anyone would say that this is a horrible book. I would've loved to have had it when I was in high school, though I ended up getting a 4 anyway. I have taught AP for five years, and this is VERY comprehensive. My favorite part about it is that it has something for everyone. There are sample tests if you'd like to take them, as well as a lengthy list of terms and capsule reviews of many great works of literature. You should buy this book. I made a four-page review guide for my class that will definitely translate into higher scores.
When the worst you can say about something is that it has "too much information," it's obviously not very flawed. After all, it's not intended to be read in an hour by a high school student with a short attention span.
