"What impressed me the most about the preparation manual...was its attention to the format of the AP exam. Other guides hit the topics in the College Board provided curriculum framework well but what sets this book apart is how those topics in the College Board provided curriculum framework well but what sets this book apart is how those topics are directed at the skills necessary to succeed on the AP exam. This moves beyond the assessments which are similar in difficulty and style to the items on released tests."
