Need help on taking AP exams?

-I'm in grade 10 going to grade 11 and I plan on getting at least a 4 or 5 on 4 AP exams. My choices for the AP's are Calculus, Micro, Macro, English and most likely a science. But you see the problem is that my school only offers Calculus and English AP courses. Also I'm not going to take English AP course because the teacher only gives out tops 86%'s which is an A-, and that will bring my GPA of 4.0 down. For that reason I need to know what books or what site or anything that you know of can help me prepare for these AP exams step by step. I especially need a very simplified way for the economics(micro+macro) AP exams because I haven't taken any economics or accounting class. However in school my teacher told me that I can go straight into economics 12 without taking accounting 11 because she was also my math teacher and saw the high percentage I received in her class. Thank you for everyone who will answer this question, but I'm just stressing out so much as I am trying to study for the SAT and also having the SAT II on my mind. By the way, I live in Canada, BC.The Princeston Review has a very nice series for the final exams in nearly every AP course offered. I took several AP courses in school and most of my teachers reccomended them. The students that purchased them almost always did better on their finals.

I like the "5 Steps to a 5" books. They're very helpful, with a few splashes of humor that make reading it more interesting. With each of those books I bought, I got at least a 4, even if I only read it the week before the exam!



I've also tried the Princeton review books because I've heard a lot of people say that they're good. I didn't like them, however. They're much more detailed than the 5 Steps books, and take much longer to get through. I still made 4+'s, but I felt like reading these books were a waste of time. Each have practice tests at the end.



That being said, in your case I would go for the Princeton ones. Since you're self-studying, it would probably be better to get a very detailed review of the entire course. The 5 Steps books are probably better if you are taking the class and would like a quicker review.
