This book is good if you're new to Biology classes and need to learn HOW to study for a biology exam. The textbook has all the same information and then some, so this book isn't a necessity.

There are a few comments I have...first, I find the workbook very helpful in understanding each chapter of the text. I use it every week and it helped me get an A in Anatomy I. If you read the text then do all the related pages in the workbook, your grade will show it. Trust me. That said, the book is riddled with errors and typos to be on the lookout for. The nerve chapters were the worst. It seemed as if the further the proofreader got into the book, the worse the errors became. Wrong answers can be found in places and some answers are given vs. a fill-choice, for example. It's odd, I know. It's not too much to expect near perfection in this type of item, I think, given the subject matter. Still, I think it is a valuable addition to the text. I would give it 5 stars but all the typos are too much to overlook. I should note that I don't think Tortora is the author, I think it is another person who is listed on the bottom of the cover, but this is based on the Tortora text.

Excellent resource for a very hard subject. Written well. It really helps you to be prepared for exams. If you are a serious student you don't want to miss this study guide. Buy it used and save!

I ordered this book for school. Haven't used it much.

it was a textbook that i need but it was a very good book.
