I used the 2006/2008 version of this review book, so the 2012 version may be more updated. This book has everything you need to garner a 5 on the AP English Language and Composition exam - detailed test-taking and essay writing tips, practice exams and essay prompts, and a superb vocabulary section. The only thing issue I had with this book was that its MC grading scale had not been adjusted to fit the new one, but that is an easy thing to circumnavigate. AP English isn't an easy exam to prepare for, as it's somewhat a you got it or you don't type of thing, but with this book one may stand a better chance than without it.

For the sake of reader awareness, I scored a 5 on the AP English Language and Composition exam. I contribute a decent portion of my score to this book, especially its practice MC exams.
