This book is abolsolutely AMAZING (No wonder my AP Bio teacher had this book)! It covers everything in a full year's course of AP Biology in a concise and organized fashion (should go almost exactly in the order your teacher teaches). The book has sample questions after each chapter to make sure the reader comprehends what he or she reads. Just read this whole book about a month before the exam, highlight main ideas, the day before the exam, read what you've highlighted, you'll get a good score. (At least a 4)

Buy and Use this Book!,

I took an AP Biology class this year and it was a joke! We didn't learn anything, NOTHING the entire year. I used this book from the beginning of the year and, along with my textbook, which was horrible, and the Barron's Guide, managed to learn everything about AP Biology. No Joke! I taught myself biology out of this book. I even got a 5 on the AP test! Many of the questions in this book were almost exactly repeated on the AP exam. Another especially helpful thing was the Laboratory Review in the back. Even though our class didn't do the labs, I understood everything about them. If you need to learn biology. Get this Book. Today!1

A study guide that actually helps,

I took AP Biology last year as a junior with a teacher who had never before taught an AP class. It was difficult to keep on schedule with the material in class. In fact, my class did not even finish studying animal anatomy and physiology. Despite this, I still got a five on the test. Now don't get me wrong, this guide would probably be extremely difficult to make sense of with no textbook, but this book really helped me get my facts straight and rush through the key parts that my class omitted. I cannot compare it with other study guides out there, but I think that this is the only study guide I have ever used that really had an affect on my grades in class, and on my final AP test. Good luck, and down with the evil college board!
