Overall, I prefer CliffsNotes.
 CliffsNotes- The AP test preps are excellent, but for the literature notes, the are quite hard to understand. SparkNotes- The AP test preps aren't as good, except for the APUSH one, which is rated better than CliffsNotes. The literature notes are easy to understand. Princeton Notes- Overall the AP test preps are quite good. They are comparable to CliffsNotes. Oxford- I like the IB test preps, since many other famous note-brands don't have IB-oriented notes. Barrons- I haven't really read their notes, but I have heard that they are quite good as well. Feel free to add other notes that you would recommend.

QUOTE(d4z3 @ Mar 24 2006, 12:15 AM)  How about PinkMonkey? Or Bookrags? I also use PinkMonkey as well as Sparknotes, in case there's something that PinkMonkey picked up that Sparknotes didn't and vice versa. |
