What is the best prep book (hardest) for AP calculus exam? Is it Princeton Review or Barron's? Are there better books?

i recommend first learning the material, then buying a book of actual old ap tests.
 
I've already learned the material. I'm just asking what book is the best to give sample problems that are equivalent to the questions on the exam.
