 Rating:  - Lots of Examples...but Many Are Not ValidThis book has a lot more practice exams than you will find in most books. However, there are many questions on the exams that are simply not valid. For example, the book asks several questions regarding a topic called "L'Hopital's Rule". This rule is NOT a part of the AB curriculum at all. Then there are some examples that are CLEARLY calculator type problems, yet they appear in the "non-calculator" portion of the model tests. Not the worst book out there, but it may make you feel more confused ...

The 6 tests they provide are very similar to the actual test, but the study material they provide is extremely weak. You should not buy this book for a study guide. But if you're looking for a test that will help you get familiar with the test, then this is the one. Rating: - This actually works!The 6 AP practice Exams are just great, even though I don't care for the Intro.
