How to Prepare for the AP Statistics

As a teacher of AP Stats for 7 years, I have found this book to be the best and I encourage my students to purchase it. I love the questions at the end of each section and the fact that answers are explained in detail for not only the free response, but multiple choice. The practice exams at the end are also wonderful and it tells how to get a score for your efforts. This book has become my "stat bible" for my reviews leading up to that first week in May! Thanks to Barron's!

My whole class used this book. The chapter reviews were easy to follow and very thorough. The practice exams were more difficult than the real exam and so we were really prepared.

My AP statistics teacher wasn't the greatest teacher. She did not believe in assigning homework. As far as AP exams go, AP statistics is one of the easiest ones. This book helps you prepare wonderfully. The only problem with this book is it doesn't teach you how to fully utilize the statistics features of the ti-83 or ti-89 calculator (both allowable on the AP stats exam). In my class last year, only 2 people got 5s, 2 got 3s, and the rest failed. These were not stupid people. Two of the seniors are now at Cornell. But anyway, for AP statistics, this is THE BOOK TO GET. With this book, you can easily achieve a 5. The problems in this book are HARDER than the ones on the exam. This book REALLY PREPAREs you to get a 5. I did, and you can too.

Statistics is probably one of the easiest AP exams you can take if you are a math-minded person. I bought this book and went through it once, and without using anything else I was able to achieve a 5 on the Stat exam. Saved me a lot of trouble when I got to college by already having the credit, I would recommend anyone with skills in math take the Stat exam.

Well I didn't take AP statistics this year. I took normal statistics last year and took the exam this year. Although this book sort of slacked off in the end with the BETA-test topic, the rest of the topics were well-reviewed. Take it from me: you don't even need a text book to get a 5 on the AP test if you get this study guide.
