Does the Princeton Review Book cover everything that you will need to know for an AP exam so you don’t have to read the textbook?
Or is it necessary to read the textbook to pass with a 4 or higher.
Thanks!
The study guides like Barron’s and Princeton Review are great review tools for brushinf up on the material, reminding you what you learned and giving you a good idea of the kinds of questions that you might see on the AP exam. They are not great for learning the material and not a substitute for a textbook or a class. Remember, AP classes are college level classes. If you could learn the material by reading a small book, why would you even bother going to college, besides the social life 
.
If you want to do well, learn the material and use the study guides to get an idea if you are ready and to discover what information you need to learn more about.
