Not a bad book...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Biology the Easy Way (Barron's Easy Way) (Paperback)
I used this book to help prepare for the SAT II Biology test. I found most of it to be fairly helpful and well written; it included some good self-tests with plenty of questions. I found a mistake in one of the charts, it said the chemical symbol for potassium was 'P' instead of 'K'. Also, I found some of the graphs and illustrations to be somewhat confusing and some of the test questions seemed to include material not covered until a later chapter. Overall this book was adequate but I would not reccomend it for use by itself.

Good Review of Biology,
By Paula (MIchigan, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Biology the Easy Way (Barron's Easy Way) (Paperback)
This book helped me to understand hard topics in my college biology class such as genetics and heredity. As with all Easy Way books, it's easy to comprehend. I also highly recommend:
The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations ISBN 1933023007 (Volume 1) ISBN 1933023015 (Volume 2) ISBN 1933023023 (Volume 3) These three study guides really prepared me for the kind of questions that were asked on my college biology tests. These four books are great.

Quick Learn Biology,
By A Customer
This review is from: Biology the Easy Way (Paperback)
This is a great supplement to any Biology course. There are lots of review questions and answers to help students prepare for tests or quizes. I bought this book to independently learn some biology terms and concepts--it worked perfectly. I feel so good about biology now and am not intimidated about talking about it with friends! If you are looking for a quick, effective, easy to understand biology book, BUY Biology the Easy Way!!!
