4.0 out of 5 stars Great book for a hard class!, November 21, 1999

This review is from: Student Study Guide for Campbell's Biology (Paperback)

This book is a great help. Any class (Either AP or Regular Biology) taught out of Campbell's Biology is going to be tough. This book breaks down long, often tedious chapters into straight foward sections. Also there are many practice questions at the end of each mini-chapter and the answers are in the back. (This is good for your grade, 'cause teachers often give you worksheets with these same questions on them! Hahaha) The only problem is that sometimes the chapters are too abridged and you miss out on something important, so I still recommend reading the real chapters---but if your in a pickle and their is only 15 minutes until class, just read the study book. Enjoy!

I used this review book with the Campbell's biology book in AP Biology and let me tell you, it helps. It gets every detail to within a few pages and helps you memorize key facts and figures of the book. Recommend for anyone who is using the Campbell's book.

This review is from: Student Study Guide for Campbell's Biology (Paperback)

This book is great if you are taking AP biology with Camobell's Biology. Teachers tend to give students the questions from this book. The book contains the answers for all of the questions, but doesnt explain how they got the answers. You actually have to read the book. But, the questions are difficult, and similar to the ones on the AP exams, so it is good practice. I only gave it 4 stars because I think they could have given better summaries of the chapters and explanined the reasoning behind the answers in a way students would understand. Overall, a great buy and useful study tool!
