Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
Six full-length Advanced Placement practice Statistics exams are presented in this manual with all questions answered and explained. Equally valuable to prospective test takers is the authors 15-chapter topic review, covering virtually everything they will encounter on the actual exam. Topics for review are divided into four general themes: Exploratory Analysis, Planning a Study, Probability, and Statistical Inference. Additional multiple-choice and free-response questions with answers are presented at the end of all 15 chapters. Detailed appendices include exam-taking advice, an AP scoring guide, a guide to basic uses of TI-83/TI-84 calculators, and more.

It's an okay book, overall April 16, 2008
4 out of 5 found this review helpful

This book isn't all that great. I bought it in hopes of refreshing my memory, and since AP Statistics has some intricate details to it, this book doesn't really go into them. The chapters contain A LOT of examples which helps the student see the different types of problems he/she can encounter, but there is little explanation of general ideas. The author relies a lot on defining terms through examples and through few words. The chapter questions in the end are also flawed because the answers turn out to be those that AREN'T covered by the author in the chapter reviews. In addition, the way the chapters are broken up are incoherent and inconsistent to follow, and you end up running to (again) examples of ideas than the actual definition. I thought that this was fine because in the end, I could grasp the concept, but it turns out I'll just be memorizing the different questions the AP test could ask than actually understand the concept.br /br /My best bet is that this book is good for taking the 6 practice tests, but for general review, one should get the CliffsAP Statistics or even The Princeton Review.br /br /The Barron's book initially got good reviews on the previous editions, but this one doesn't live up to that. I'm ending up buying another book and dropped this book for studying for the AP Exam that's in 3 weeks.br /br /~Hope my review helped (:~

The reviewed subjects are only somewhat helpful -- but what is best is a numerous number of practice tests.

The problems are challenging and thought-provoking. Definitely a good study tool! I'm not sure how they compare to the actual AP questions, though.
