2.0 out of 5 stars Raw, unrefined piece of work., January 30, 2007

This review is from: SAT Subject Test: Biology E/M (REA) -- The Best Test Prep for the SAT (Test Preps) (Paperback)
Seems REA does not hire part - time workers to write reviews for them.
As a national biology olympiad winner, I strongly recommend you not to buy this book because of its hazy wordings, somewhat incorrect questions, and overall mediocre quality of the test.

2.0 out of 5 stars full of errors, October 10, 2006
This review is from: SAT Subject Test: Biology E/M (REA) -- The Best Test Prep for the SAT (Test Preps) (Paperback)
you'd think that since this is a second edition, mistakes from the first would be fixed. but no, they're still here. like a question that says gene mutations *aren't* inherited, when in fact they sometimes are. and then there are misleading questions that i get wrong not because i don't know biology, but because of unclear wording. it doesn't even have a chart so that you can convert your raw score into a 200-800 score. the only good thing is that this book contains 6 tests, more than most books.

what do you expect from a book written partly by a community college professor, an enviromental science teacher, and an assistant professor (also at a community college)?

2.0 out of 5 stars Wow that was a waste of time, June 22, 2008
This review is from: SAT Subject Test: Biology E/M (REA) -- The Best Test Prep for the SAT (Test Preps) (Paperback)
Don't waste your time with this book, kaplan and other books are deffinately better. Their review of everything is basically just deffinitions and they go way in depth in areas that don't even matter, and then they ask you questions that are incredibly specific to a certain area that will deffinately not show up in the SAT bio test. Seriously the book asks what adaptations will an aquatic animal need FIRST in order to adapt to an artic enviroment. I took the SAT bio and it needs you to know the general concept of evolution not how particular animals specifically adapted to a certain enviroment. Then, some of the questions were wrong, graphs were labled incorrectly or not labled at all in certain areas where they needed to be, questions were asked poorly. You've only got a limited amount of time to study for the SAT biology test, you don't want to waste all of your time and stress yourself out using this book because there are many books that are a lot better.
