Reasonably OK, but not enough for 90%+ scores,
By
This review is from: Princeton Review: Cracking the GRE Biology, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
This book is all right--unmarred by the egregious errors and typos that characterize most of the GRE Bio test preparation texts currently on the market. However, it's insufficient if you're trying to achieve really high scores. For that, I recommend the book put out by ETS (Amazon sells it). I found that to be the only practice test that strongly resembled the actual test. As background, I took the GRE Biology Subject Exam in December 1999, and scored in the upper 97% (if that makes any difference.) I personally found the ETS practice tests the most useful study aid, in conjunction with textbooks Campbell's Biology and Molecular Biology of the Cell by Alberts, et al. This book was a distant fourth, but those whose Bio is quite rusty, or whose scoring goals are more modest, might be quite pleased with it. (The other review books I used--the Barron's book and the one by Ogden--were a waste of time and money.)

GRE Biology,
By Christine (Lubbock, TX) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Princeton Review: Cracking the GRE Biology, 2nd Edition (Paperback)
It's hard to be enthusiastic about a test study guide, but this one does seem to provide a nice, concise (though basic) review. If it's been a while since you've had some of your basic biology course work, this may be a help, or may at least ease your mind a bit.
