I have purchased several review books for the AP National Exam, and honestly the Kaplan's Guide to AP Biology is the best one out there. With indepth explanations on every aspect of the test, it is easy to review and pick up facts you may have missed in class. With modern, easy to read and understand diagrams, the Kaplan's Guide is the most informative and beats out all other competition.

I really wanted to get a good grade on the ap exam, so i bought the ap bio cliff notes and kaplan ap bio pre book. I found the kaplan book so confusing. Some notes were good, clear, and thorough. However, i found most of the them to be very confusing and difficult to absorb. The good thing about this book is that they have a lot of great diagrams taht are very useful. I also have to say that using the practice exams in the end of the book really helped. Practice can make all the differences. One last thing, the cliff notes of ap bio is really really good. I advise you to buy that, along with another prep book. Using two can really help. ps. i got a 4 on the exam without answering the lab essay question or the lab multiple choice questions.

This book offers a decent review of most overall AP Biology concepts. However, it skimps on some main themes. While an adequate supplement to a good class and a good textbook, it cannot stand alone. However, I had a less than perfect teacher and used this book to supplement her assigned readings. I passed the test with a 3. The book is great for cramming the night before. It's concise in that way. Good Luck!

I have bought multiple preparation guides before taking the AP Biology Exam last May and I have concluded that the only books worth my money was the Cliffs AP Biolgy Guide. This book only offers general information and can be compared to a regular biology book which I have access of. It may not be the guide that helped me pull a 5 on my exam but may be used for extra but not primary review.
