 Great choice for studying! May 13, 2010

If you are searching for a review book or the AP Biology exam, look no further.. you need to buy this book right now!
I recently took the Biology exam and this book has helped me learn material I was not taught in class, or review material I had forgotten. What I like about this book is that every section was not overcrowded with information. All the chapters were short (6-40 pages about) and to the point. All of the topics were explained perfectly that I was never confused about what I was reading. The book comes with useful sample questions at the end of each section so you can test yourself, and the questions and explanations are very helpful. I actually saw one question from the review book on my AP Exam, so you know their information is reliable.
The one thing I did not like about this book was the lack of figures, or graphics. I am a visual learner and I would have preferred more descriptive pictures, such as the ones in my actual AP BIO textbook, to better understand concepts. The figures they had were vague.
Anyway, they did a great job at enlightening me about plants, a subject I did not learn in class but was prevalent on the exam. Please choose this book for its benefits are enormous and you are guaranteed a 4 or a 5 if you read this book in depth.
 My Happy Review =) January 30, 2010

I've been taking notes on this book, and you only take notes on the important things. I've been taking notes on almost EVERYTHING. This is probably one of the best sources to learn AP Bio from. It's full of stuff that you will NEED to know and it doesn't skimp on the details. It is also a quick way to learn and is very interesting. I highly recommend this book.
Great! July 21, 2009

This book covered all the topics that were on the AP test, without it I would have been lost as to what to focus on and what to discard. Of course, I had to study my school textbook for the finer details but as review books go this one is the best. It definitely helped me get a 5 last year.

The structures shown in figure 2-5 and 2-6 have errors in them. The fatty acid portion of the structure is wrong. There should not be a carbon atom between the oxygen atom and the carbonyl group. Compare that to structure D on page 27, which is correct.
I have not reviewed the entire book. If you'd like a comprehensive editing/review, my friends and I have hundreds of years experience in chemistry and biochemistry (Ag science R&D) and are all currently unemployed. We enjoy working as a team. Since our lay-off, several of us have tutored or taught chemistry lab classes at the college level.

An excellent review book. June 17, 2009

This book is an excellent way to study for the AP exam. It has short, but thorough explanations. It also has quizzes at the end of each section with multiple choice questions and free response questions, and there are detailed explanations too.
However, this book has some flaws. Some of explanations are confusing and there are spots where diagrams are either lacking or are hard to read. The chapter with the five kingdoms goes into far too much detail, on the AP exam there were barely any multiple choice questions on it and there was only half a free response on it.
Overall, this books positive points are far more numerous then its negative ones. This is probably the best review book for AP Bio and I would recommend it to anyone looking to get a 4 or 5.
