I used this book along with the Campbell, Reese, and Mitchell Biology textbook to prepare for the Praxis II Biology Content Knowledge Exam (0235). I was able to pass the exam with an excellent score using these two resources. This book helped me to review the key information I needed for the test. The questions in this book are about as challenging as most questions on the Praxis, although there were a few more challenging questions that I would not have gotten right if I hadn't also studied the Campbell text.

This book is fairly thorough. Don't expect it to explain to you all the details that go into preparing or studying for a high school AP Biology course. This book is missing far too much for that sort of help. If you are looking to prepare a course for AP Biology (as I am) your best luck will be to use the late Neil Campbell's book Biology. The quizzes in each chapter are of great use and it seems like the end quiz isn't that helpful at all since the answers are right there next to the question.

I just picked this book up in anticipation of the coming year of teaching (my second year as a bio teacher) and found it very useful. I find it helps to suggest certain books to my students in the event they require reinforcement of the information in class. This book touches on the majority of my class work. I definitely recommend this book to anyone who is taking high school bio.
