The idea in plain words
AP Business with Personal Finance is a business course that includes personal finance. That means exam preparation is not only budgeting and credit: it also covers business foundations, marketing, management and strategy. Start from the official College Board course page and exam description so you study what is actually assessed, then add practice. Third-party resources can help you learn a topic, but they are not endorsed by the College Board.
