Poorly written and poorly thought out.......2007-04-16
I used both this book and the Priceton Review, and I have to say the Princeton Review one is much better.
The Barron's one appears to have lots of practice questions, but really, towards the middle of the book they leave out free-response questions. Instead, they tell you to solve the question that was provided in the middle of that chapter.
It was as if they wrote this on a deadline and rushed through the entire thing. The content seemed inadequate and explanations were poor. Their attempts to make funny remarks to appeal to the teenage audience were often inappropriate or left the reader confused.
Barron's is usually my first choice for AP prep, but the AP economics book is one exception.
However, you might want to buy this anyway since it comes with 2 practice tests that you could use.
Practice tests are lacking.......2006-07-17
When compared to the Princtons review book, I found that the tests in the Barrons book were too easy. The rest of the book is well laid ou though and explanations are clear and concise. I took the micro and macro tests in may 06 and got 5s on both. But this was mostly because of the princeton book & going online to the ap website.

AP Economics teacher highly recommends.......2005-09-04
As an AP Economics teacher, I recommended 5 Steps to a 5 to my students this past year. The students gave it high marks for its thorough review of both micro and macro economics. The author provides strong pointers for each concept and plenty of practice questions. The students' results were outstanding: a 100 percent pass rate on micro and 98 percent on macro, with mostly 4s and 5s on the two exams. My students worked hard throughout the year, but this review guide helped a lot with test preparation. Having used the Princeton "Cracking the AP" book in previous years, I found 5 steps to a 5 to be the superior review book.

Not too helpful.......2007-07-31
This book has good graphs and short descriptions, especially if you're looking for the quick definition of an economics term, but overall, it is too general and not helpful enough when you are studying for the AP Economics exam. I used it to review, but the book did not go into enough detail to really be of use to me. Also, there were many instances where the notes in the CliffsAP book contradicted with what I had learned in my economics course and in various impressive, reliable textbooks.
I do not recommend using this book. It was quite a waste. I have heard that "5 Steps to a 5 on the AP exam" is better.
Poorly written, not edited.......2006-05-11
This book was horrible. I bought it for the practice tests, and not only did they repeat the same questions in the same tests on occasion, there were many cases where words were mispelled, or key parts of the problems (such as graphs) were left out completely. This book was of shoddy construction and should be avoided as a tool to study for the economics exams.
This book is not good for a CLEP exam........2006-04-30
I guess I shouldn't be complaining because I was attempting to pass the macroeconomics CLEP exam with the AP cliff notes book. The reason I was doing this is because I could not find a study guide for it. So if you are looking for a CLEP study guide don't get this book, I did pass with a 54 and I needed a 50, but it was pure luck.
Economic AP Cliff Notes.......2006-03-20
Haven't reviewed the book as yet but am looking forward to using the Cliff Notes in conjuction with an AP Macro and Micro Ecomonics book to prepare for a CLEP test.
scatterbrain.......2005-04-28
Perhaps i shouldn't be complaining because i didn't actually take a microecon course and i'm trying to wing the test by using this book. however, i found this book confusing and poorly organized becuase there are times when terminology isn't consistent and i feel like i'm reading a bunch of random essays put together. fragmented lessons with things in between. one good thing about this book is that there are a few chapters that are written very well and are very clear. however, the more confusing topics have confusing chapters. i wish i hadn't bought this book and that i'd gotten a different one.
Customer Reviews:
Excellent prepartory material for the Praxis Economics Test .......2006-04-04
I highly recommend this study guide. I first purchase Barron's AP Economics by mistake-- I read the reviews and one of the reviewer's suggested Kaplan. The reviewer was right. Barron was not what I needed; therefore, I purchased Kaplan. It was exactly what I needed for my situation. I am a special education teacher who has never taken an economics class before, but I wanted to take the Praxis economics test to teach a secondary regular education class. I am so thankful --- I passed!!!

Worth the $$$.......2005-10-21
Having an excellent economics teacher is not enough, however, having an excellent prep book is!!
After purchasing this book, I have no regrets and can say that this book goes into every detail that is vital for the test and also presents the material in a systematic, clear and consice way with enough examples not to confuse you.

Also, there is a free response section which presents questions that can really challenge your mind and provide you with the confidence.
