I recently needed to brush up on my Biology. (I had Bio in college.) After a horrible experience with the mistake-riddled Barron's Biology the Easy Way, I decided to give this book a try. Especially since time was of the essence.

The format of this book is great. You get all the info you need in a very clear, direct, concise way. Lots of charts, lots of diagrams, and lots of test questions make learning very simple and quick.

Whether you need a quick review of your Biology concepts like me, or you are struggling in your Biology class, this book can help you out.

This review book for high school Biology is a great review resource filled with hundreds of practice questions. There are also loads of diagrams and charts that make studying the material much easier and less time consuming.

I used to book to help me study for my high school biology tests. The questions are helpful because they helped me to focus on the important topics in biology. I also found the following to be great references.
The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations volume 1 and volume 2
The questions in the last two study guides helped me to test myself for what I did or didn't know before taking my exams. It proved to be quite helpful since I passed with ease. These three books are very helpful!

My 10th grade son was haveing a very hard time in Biology. I got this book to help us study and his grades came up and he understood more.

I took the CLEP exam for biology, and this was the best book for studying. The chapters on how a cell works, functions of the organelles, and the study of genetics were in line with the exam. This book was worth the investment.

This is a good review of the basics of biology. I'm also reading the Chemistry, Physics, and Calculus versions of this series. They're all a pretty good review of the basics.

I liked the layout of the book and would have been more than glad to have it back in high school bio. I took college Bio I in 2008, and after a change in major needed Bio II now (2011), so I was looking for a refresher on the basics. I needed more than this book covered, but it would still be a valuable resource for students in high school or maybe college level bio I classes.

I purchased this book to give to a friend who is struggling in high school Biology. She and her college-age tutor say it is very useful to look up and get a different take on the material. Plus, her textbook isn't very good so this book aids the whole process of learning the material.
Her tutor told her to keep it through college too, so the tutor liked it too.

The material has been presented in a lucid manner. Anyone can quite easily master the topics covered in the text. However, I feel that a few left out areas could be included.

Mr. D knows what he is talking about. he is the man.
