5.0 out of 5 stars best ap bio book ever!!, August 2, 2010
This review is from: 5 Steps to a 5 AP Biology, 2010-2011 Edition (5 Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations Series) (Paperback)
Trust this book when it says you don't have to know every single detail of your textbook to get a 5. I did, and I did get a 5.

Let's just say I had no idea of how much I had to know for the exam, because I was taking an online course. I had no teacher to prepare me, so I decided to buy three review books for ap bio. Out of the 3 books, this was certainly the best. It gave me just what I needed: a complete, thorough, and fun to read review; practice tests that were extremely similar to the real exam; and it told me how much I had to get right in each section of the exam to get a 5.

The cliffs book was not nearly as good as this one, but the Princeton review was pretty good. So if you're thinking of getting more than one of these review books, my suggestion is 5 steps and Princeton review.

If you do a practice test on this book and do well, you can be sure you'll do just as fine in the real exam.

5.0 out of 5 stars Quick and Explanatory - Perfect for a 5, May 12, 2010

This review is from: 5 Steps to a 5 AP Biology, 2010-2011 Edition (5 Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations Series) (Paperback)
I bought this book 9 days before the exam. It's an easy read compared to the textbook and nicely sums up all of the important concepts. It also has a useful glossary in the back. Overall a really good book to use for a < 2 week review.
I'm nearly sure that I'm getting a 5

Edit: I got a 5. Knew it. Buy this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Highly Recommended for all Students, September 2, 2010
This review is from: 5 Steps to a 5 AP Biology, 2010-2011 Edition (5 Steps to a 5 on the Advanced Placement Examinations Series) (Paperback)
This book is very lucid and very detailed. It has all key concepts tested on the ap bio test, as well. I have used many study aids over the years, but this is by far one of the my favorite. Not only does this book completely cover the material, but also summarizes everything at the end of the chapter.

The author also includes many pictures that clearly illustrate the topics at hand. Although some of the jokes are corny, it does lighten the subject for the reader-- not a solid block of text.

I highly recommend this book for students, who wish to do well on the ap test. This book will not disappoint.
