Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best review book I've ever used
This book reviews all the material you need to know for the test, in a clear, simple, efficient way. I bought it too late to use it in my AP Biology class, but I'm sure it would be good for that too. I read the whole book the week before the AP test and got a 5.



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - This book is the reason I got a five.
I didn't learn a lot in my AP Biology class; we rarely took our lessons seriously and our teacher gave us very few assignments. We learned material slowly--by the time May came around, we still had nine chapters left (out of 56) to read in the textbook!

Everyone in our class was pretty much flipping out over the AP test and how soon we had to take it. Nobody felt prepared. My friend actually reread the entire textbook in the week we had to review before the test. I procrastinated, and ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Excellent tool if you want to ace the exam
Yes I mean it, it really is as great as people are saying. I have always been weak at biology, and I was very nervous about taking it at the AP level especially since its so difficult, but I endured it. I got mostly Bs in that class, I got very lazy with senioritis even to the point that I skipped some chapters in the text and didnt even bother to pay attention in class or read summaries.

So although I was getting into lousy habits typical of high school seniors, I was still determined ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - One of the Two Best AP Biology Books
I used this book and Dr. Sanghera's AP Biology Flashcard Quicklet to prepare for the AP Biology exam. I love both of these books and here are my reviews:
This book is cool. It's to the point and covers all the topics very concisely. So, that saves you lot of time that you can use elsewhere. However, it gives you all the info that you need to pass the AP Biology exam. It's short and sweet: material is covered in a reader-friendly way; easy to follow, understand, and retain. I used this book in ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - An AP Biology Trainer's Recommendation
Great Resource. All you need is this book with Paul Sanghera's AP Biology Flashcard Quicklet, and you will be in very good shape to pass the AP Biology exam. This book is a no-nonsense, to-the-point guide to prepare for the exam, and Paul Sanghera's Biology Flashcard Quicklet is a great tool to quickly review your preparation. I have found that these two books together is a blast. Although the AP Biology Flashcard Quicklet is very self-contained and can be used with any Guide or without any Guide, but ...
