Advanced Placement Biology Examination: Preparation Guide

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

Let's just say that even though I learned a lot during the school year, I thought it would be impossible for me to remember all the information. With the handy Cliff Notes book, it helped me reinforce everything i had learned (and all the stuff i forgot). Everyone that used the book got at least a 4 (at my school), and it helped me get a 5! So if you are considering buying the book, think no more. JUST GET IT!

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)

Biology is a gigantic subject, so you really need some sort of guide to eek you along. Cliff's Notes Bio is great. It has all the info you need in a very compact, neat form without compromising any information. I got a 5 on the AP Bio Exam (I still can't believe it) and I think in part my grade was due to studying this book.

This book not only helped me to pass my AP Bio Test in High School, I am still using it for some of my intro classes for my Bio major at the University of California, Irvine.
