This gives a sketchy review of major topics with a lot of practice tests. Cliff's gives a more extensive detailed review and Princeton gives a good last minute overview of major points. The only redeeming quality is it is a source for questions when I write an AP Bio test for my class.

This book was great. I followed the schedule they provided in the book to study for the test and my score came out wonderful. Getting a 5 on an AP test is very difficult but this book will help out.

This book sums up AP Biology in about 75 pages, thats amazing. The practice exams are what counts. Im a student but for teachers this book can be of great use if bought with the CD-ROM. You can install it the media center and have the students take the three practice exams before the real test. It times you and gives you a raw score in the end. Has descriptive answers to all of the questions as well. But as for just a review book-no.

When I used the AP Biology Review book, I thought it wasn't thorough enough and that it was way too brief. On the other hand, the practice questions were excellent. So to buy or not to buy? That's for you to decide...let's just say I passed. Maybe it was because of other causes, but I got to say, the book did help refresh my memory on a few things.
