I purchased this book as companion to the text for my Microbiology class at Prince George Community College. Microbiology is definitively the most difficult biology as far as exam preparation is concerned. I was hoping that if I could master the material presented in the study guide and the one in the text it would be enough to ace the class. Unfortunately this was not so. The study guide was not helpful for exam preparation. I give it a rating of 3 because it still helped me some with understanding the material. Realistically the most difficult part of the microbiology class and where you either make it or break it is in the laboratory. If you mess up your unknown and are unable to separate the gram positive from the gram negative bacteria, the laboratory grade will bring your grade down. That happened to me, so the laboratory actually hurt me but realistically even with the study guide and doing all the practice problems in the book I was only able to get over 90 in one exam, all the other exams while still over 80 where not even close. Best of luck to all of you preparing for micro!!!

The seller was absolutely wonderful to deal with. I got the book within a few days even though it was shipped from Malaysia. I would recommend him or her to anyone especially those college textbook. I am looking forward to purchase more from this seller.
