Customer Reviews

Among the best available

I am a parent with a high school junior taking the AP English Lang class...I do have a background in Rhetoric, just so you know where I'm coming from. This product is among the best. It has a "fair" amount of review material (some similar products have none) that can be used to supplement what is done in the classroom, and has an excellent selection of "test" material (literature from which the multiple choice questions come, and excellent essay sections as well). The problem with all of these AP Language review texts is that they all cover different concepts. It's good to use Barron's along with "5 Easy Steps to a 5" (or something like that) and/or Kaplan's. If I could only select one, I'd go with Barron's.

Good buy

I'd say Barron's was better than Cliff's, at least that was what my AP English teacher said, in that there are more practice tests in Barron. I didn't use it a lot at all, but what I did use of it prepared me well for the test.

Great

I took the AP last week and think that I did well. This book is not the greatest content wise, but I feel that the practice exams are unmatched and the sample essay prompts really helped me know what to expect and how to form a decent essay.
