2.0 out of 5 stars Not a good bet, January 26, 2000
This review is from: How to Prepare for the GRE Biology (Barron's) (Paperback)
This is NOT a particularly good/useful book.

I took the GRE Biology subject test in 12/1999. I used several different study aids, and scored in the top 97%. This book does not get any of the credit. The book is too simplistic and limited in scope--there is considerable material on the exam this book does not even address. It is not as wretched as some others; (to wit, The Best Test Preparation for the GRE Biology Subject Exam, by Ogden, which was so bad I don't think Amazon even sells it any more), but it is unlikely you will achieve a high score on the test if it's your sole source of study material.

I found the most useful study aids to be the slim test handbook put out by ETS itself (Amazon does sell it, at both a lower price and lower shipping cost than buying it direct from ETS. Go figure.), and the textbooks Biology by Campbell and Molecular Biology of the Cell by Alberts, et al.

Cracking the GRE Biology Subject Test by Deborah Guest was all right for a more simplistic review, but insufficent if you're gunning for really high scores.

This one just isn't worth the time or the money, when there are better options.
