Student Study Guide for Biology

I have bought a lot of student study guides in my life, and many of them have been nearly worthless. This one is not. The main textbook goes into so much detail that it is sometimes easy to lose sight of the main points of the chapters. This study guide does a wonderful job of bringing the key concepts into focus. The chapter summaries are clear and concise, covering all the main points of the chapters without going into too much detail (you can read the main text if you want detail). Latin word roots are explained (to help with memorization) in each chapter, and the in-chapter questions and post-chapter quizzes are fantastic, with answers and explanations to the questions provided at the back of the book.

This book helped me a lot in test preparation for my college course with its review questions. My professor still tested the class on even more details though. Therefore it will not guarantee you an "A" grade.

I would recommend this book to someone who does not have the time to read the textbook over and over again.

If you read the text, review the study guide, and look at material online (has quizzes and tests as well as animations), you will make an A. Guaranteed!
