Barron’s combine AB and BC into one book, reducing the amount of details in the book. Princeton has a separate AB book, but their practice problems aren’t that useful and seem to have lots of mistakes (at least from what I saw). Saxon’s Calculus with Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry (Not recommended) I don’t like this textbook; it isn’t targeted towards AP Calculus AB, so it doesn’t cover some of the topics in Calculus AB, and it covers lots of topics that aren’t in Calculus AB (“Trigonometry and Analytic Geometry”). I didn’t use this book at all when I took AP Calculus AB. Top Photo by Shubham Sharan |
