What's the best study book for AP Stats?

Hi guys, I'm looking for a good study tool for AP Statistics. Is there a particular book or guide that you found really helpful when you were preparing for the exam?

There are quite a few good prep books for AP Statistics out there, but a couple tend to stand out as favorites.

The "Barron's AP Statistics" by Martin Sternstein is a classic option. It comes with full-length practice exams and in-depth content reviews. Many students find its clear explanations and comprehensive coverage of the course material to be particularly helpful. It is well-regarded for having practice questions that truly mirror the style of the AP exam.

Another highly recommended book is "The Practice of Statistics for AP" by Daren S. Starnes, Josh Tabor, and Daniel Yates. This book aligns closely with the College Board’s AP Stats curriculum and includes many practice problems and step-by-step solutions.

Both these guides are updated regularly to reflect any changes in the AP exam formats so, whichever one you choose, make sure you're picking up the latest edition.

Of course, beyond these books, be sure to take advantage of any class notes, practice problems, and review materials provided by your teacher—in my experience, this can be some of the best preparation for the AP exams. Good luck with your studying!
