Princeton Review AP Calculus BC Prep, 2023: 5 Practice Tests + Complete Content Review + Strategies & Techniques

After failing tests left and right through my BC calc class, I had no confidence in scoring well on the exam, so I bought this book to help me study. After taking the AP exam this past Monday, I am sure I scored at least a 4, and a good chance at a 5. This is definitely a study tool that anyone taking the exam should use. I will update my review with my exam score when they are released.Update: I received a 4 with a 5 AB subscore.

It’s for my son and he likes it!

Lots of mistakes.

Amazing for AP prep

The book was overall very good. I am about 4 chapters into this book while I self study for my Calculus BC exam. The book paired with useful Youtube videos from Khan Academy & 3blue1Brown has been flowing smoothly so far.The reason I rate the product a 3 is because some of the content in certain chapters and sub-sections seem very out of place. For example Chapter 2 on the basics of derivatives uses the concepts of the chain rule quite frequently in it's examples of other Calculus rules, yet the chain rule itself is not taught until Chapter 3 on Differentiation. In addition, there were questions in Chapter 1 on finding the limits of trigonometric functions that were not introduced at all until ~5 pages after these questions on "How to find the limits of sinx, cosx, etc). However, if you can put together the pieces and some of the fragmented info in the book (which is very few) then this book is awesome.
