Thanks Diane.
I bought a few but I still need a good AP Calc book for both of them. I hear Barron's is good but focuses mostly on AB not BC. I can't decide on Barron's or Princeton Review. Anyone have any thoughts or suggestions?

If you choose to use an REA review book for an AP or SAT II test, be aware that the REA practice tests are almost always significantly harder than the actual test. This is what I have found after using REA guides for SAT II Bio, Writing, Math IIC, and AP Euro. Overall, I've found Princeton Review guides to be the most helpful and Barron's to have the most realistic practice tests. Just my point of view.
