I am taking stats, and I think the grad student teaching it is horrible. I bought a book for AP Stat last year, and they did reprint it this year (I love how they put a new cover on it with the current year with the same content and people buy them like mad!). I LOVE IT so much, great explainations. It's in the MCAT/SAT/AP reveiw section of the bookstore--AP Statistics by Kaplan. Best one out there. Thick, losts of problems, good explainations but to the pointl Under $20.
I can't reccommend any math tesxtbooks, because in my opinion, they all are so archeic and very unhelpful. Good luck!

It teaches you how to make something look like something completely different 95% of the time.
Excel and a TI-83 are great complements to a good book. I seem to recall one with a bunch of Campbell soup labels on the front...
