 Rating:  - Amazing Results, Detailed Information, Just what you need!If someone were to come to me and ask what book to buy for the Biology E/M test, I would tell them this one and no other, instantly. It's really that good! I'm a High School Sophomore that took the test with the help of this book. I had taken a normal biology class my freshman year and had forgotten most of it. With the help of this book and 1 month (really!) of intesive studying (2-3 hours every weekday), I got a near perfect on the Biology Exam! For those wondering, I took the E. I cannot recommend ...

The Class seemed standard and the teacher was great. My problem was that, as interesting as biology was, I found it hard just to memorize so many things in such a short period of time ( The textbook was 2000+ pages!) The time to take the AP test came and I needed to review. I was starting to look for more of a 3-4 then the 5 i wanted. I bought this book in ...

She noted which ones these were for us in the table of contents, and we focussed our attention and time on those. We did work through the entire book anyway; it took from when we received it (March-ish) to the test date (June-ish.) Results: 740, plus a perfect 600 on the biology section of the state standardized tests (not directly helpful, but still perhaps listing on college apps later.) Rating: - better than barron -- much betterEspecially if you're doing a lot of self-studying, I reccommend getting more than 1 review book. Make Princeton Review one of them. It is an organized, clean, no-nonsense format, with chapter summaries and quizzes and lots of charts and diagrams for you visual learners. It'll give you all you need to know. Just as importantly, it won't give anything you don't need to know. The other good one is Kaplan. As usual, Kaplan is good at explaining. Barron is very minimal and the format is a little ...
