An exciting new series of study guides that lets each student
design a course of study pitched to his or her individual needs
and learning style
Each year, more than one million U.S. high school students take one
or more advanced placement (AP) exams, and, according to official projections,
that number will continue to rise in the years ahead. That is because AP exams
confer important benefits on those who do well on them. High AP scores are
indispensable to gaining admission to most elite colleges. They provide
students with a competitive edge when competing for grants and
scholarships. And they allow students to bypass required
university survey courses, saving on skyrocketing
tuition fees...........

Designed to coincide perfectly with the most current
AP exams, Five Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement
Examinations guides contain several advanced features
that set them above all competitors. Each guide is
structured around an ingenious Five-Step Plan. The
first step is to develop a study plan, the second builds
knowledge, the third and fourth hone test-taking skills
and strategies, and the fifth fosters the confidence
students need to ace the tests. This flexible study tool
is also tailored to three types of students. For the more
structured student there is a "Month-by-Month" approach
that follows the school year and a "Calendar Countdown"
approach that begins with the new year. For students who
leave studying to the last minute "Basic Training" covers
the basics in just four weeks.

Other outstanding features include:

Sample tests that closely simulate real exams
Review material based on the contents of the most recent tests
Icons highlighting important facts, vocabulary, and frequently-asked questions
Boxed quotes offering advice from students who have aced the exams and from AP
teachers and college professors
Websites and links to valuable online test resources, along with author e-mail
addresses for students with follow-up questions
Authors who are either AP course instructors or exam developers
