Review for the AP exam
As mentioned during class, the AP review packet you received before spring break contains plenty of sample multiple choice and free response questions (plus, more released free response questions are available online at apcentral.collegeboard.com). Also, remember that your class notes, textbook, class tests (will be returned to you) are also excellent preparation resources.
However, if you are looking for a review book, I would recommend "Be Prepared for the AP Calculus Exam" http://www.skylit.com/calculus/

Test #8 grades posted
Test data:
96 took the test (7 absent)
A = 47%
B = 32%
C/D = 12%
F = 9%
Mean = 87
Median = 89
Mode = 94
100 or more = 10
The majority of you prepared well for this test - I am very pleased with how many people did so well on this test! The questions were aligned with the questions we find on the AP exam and the scores are aligned to the results I normally see on the AP exam. In the past, my students have performed very well on questions involving differential equation topics. As we continue chapter 8 (polynomial approximations and series), you will be studying some of the most challenging material in the entire course. If you pay attention during class, take notes, ask questions, complete homework, attend tutorials when needed, and study before tests, you will find that these challenging concepts are managable. If you don't put forth a significant and constant effort, you will struggle with these topics.
