 Rating:  - Good Review of BiologyThis book helped me to understand hard topics in my college biology class such as genetics and heredity. As with all Easy Way books, it's easy to comprehend. I also highly recommend: The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations ISBN 1933023007 (Volume 1) ISBN 1933023015 (Volume 2) ISBN 1933023023 (Volume 3) These three study guides really prepared me for the kind of questions that were asked on my college biology tests. ...

There is absolutely nothing more frustrating than to have a book full of mistakes and poor editing. The chapter tests have questions on things that were never even in the chapter, as well some COMPLETELY WRONG ANSWERS to the test questions. Here is just one example: Read More Rating: - Not a bad book...I used this book to help prepare for the SAT II Biology test. I found most of it to be fairly helpful and well written; it included some good self-tests with plenty of questions. I found a mistake in one of the charts, it said the chemical symbol for potassium was 'P' instead of 'K'. Also, I found some of the graphs and illustrations to be somewhat confusing and some of the test questions seemed to include material not covered until a later chapter. Overall this book was adequate but ... Read More
