As with other books in the pretest series, if each section is read as a whole unit, with greater focus on the answers to the questions rather than the questions themselves, it provides a solid foundation for the biochemistry shelf. In fact, the arrangement of the topics allows for better comprehension of bulky topics like biochem for which the bullet-point style of BRS is not suited.

I've just opened this book to study for an important test. In only the first few minutes I've wasted time working through the overly long, labored explanations that can't get to the point. On page 64 I found a major error that had no easy-to-find errata online: the authors reused an image from a question on page 59. The answer they gave didn't relate to the image or the explanation wasting more of my time trying to figure out where their mistake was.

If this is typical of the shoddy editing and writing in this book I would be better off using Wikipedia to study.

Very very good book to prepare for test questions in your class for Genetics. Excellent questions for Genetics!!! Does contain some errors.

Is it worth buying? Yes! I know that I learn best by doing questions. Worthy investment for me.
