3.0 out of 5 stars Needs a revision, September 10, 2006

This review is from: Kaplan GRE Exam Subject Test: Biology (Kaplan GRE Biology) (Paperback)

After taking the exam in December 2006, you would be better off buying and reviewing the latest version of Campbell Reece 'Biology' textbook to study for the GRE Biology Exam. This Kaplan book needs a revision as it is misrepresenting a lot of the information that was presented on the exam.

I would say that this book is good reference for a high school biology teacher.

5.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY!!!!, August 26, 2006

S. Ngok "fatman" (somewhere between heaven and hell) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)

This review is from: Kaplan GRE Exam Subject Test: Biology (Kaplan GRE Biology) (Paperback)

For those of you who are considering taking the Biology GRE subject test, please do not buy this version. It is virtually the same at the older (2nd) edition which is a lot cheaper than this one. Don't be fooled by Kaplan and the so-called 2007-2008 edition. I repeat, this version is virtually the same as the previous edition. The only reason I'm giving this book a 5 stars is because it is indeed an excellent book for preparing the subject test. Peace.

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent but needs revision., September 18, 2009

Trevor - See all my reviews

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: Kaplan GRE Exam Subject Test: Biology 2009-2010 Edition (Kaplan GRE Biology) (Paperback)

This book provides a decent look at most of the areas that are emphasized on the Biology Subject Test. However, I found inaccuracies in some very basic concepts, so double-check what it tells you with other sources. The book is also poorly written both in terms of grammar/syntax and explaining concepts clearly. Other reviewers recommend purchasing the Campbell Biology text instead of this guide, and that is a good idea if you can determine which concepts will be useful for the GRE and how many details you will be expected to know. Campbell is so detailed that it would be easy to become overwhelmed and to spend too much time studying unnecessary concepts or facts. I studied using both books and found that I could determine what was important with the Kaplan Guide and then learn those topics properly with Campbell.
