 Rating:  - Waste of timeI bought this book two weeks before the BioGRE in order to bone up on anything that may have slipped my mind since freshmen bio class. The review section in the beginning of the book was ok, though it went into insane amounts of detail. I took the "practice test" in the back, which was so different from the actual test I wanted to scream. The actual test is far more clearly written, thought out, and fair. This book also gives a section to explain why you got that one question wrong about ... Read More Rating:  - Future test taker you might wanna read thisI took my Biology GRE last November (2006). I got my score like a month ago and I was very disappointed. If you read the reviews for the new edition you'll find one reviewer talking about this book needs to be revised. And all I'm gonna tell you is he/she is 110% correct. If you are taking the test in April or later, consider NOT buying this book.

That being said if you don't have much time, read this in it's entirety and you'll be fine. Rating:  - GREAT BUYI waited till 3 days before the GRE bio to prepare. I did it by reading this book. The stuff in this book very closely aligns with what is on the test. As long as you know your stuff and paid attention in class it offers just enough detail of a review to jog all your memories. In fact, some of the exact questions the GRE exam asked on test day were little factoids contained in this book. I do not know my score yet (just took the test this morning) but I have a gut feeling I did ... Read More Rating: - Good tool for test prepI found that Kaplan's bio GRE review book accurately represented the contents of the test. It gives a good review of the material covered on the GRE (although with a few minor errors) and the practice test was very similar in content, structure, and difficulty to the real one. Update: I just got my scores back, and I stand by my review :) an excellent buy, it was definitely worth it.
