Cracking the AP Biology Exam, 2006-2007 Edition (College Test Prep)

Upon writing the exam today, I breezed through the multiple choice easily. I haven't gotten my results yet, but I'm hoping i got a 4.
This book has really clever ways to help you memorize things, but its might not go into enough detail for the labs. DO USE this book to save you some pain and time, but I would also suggest to you to get some other external source for the taxonomy section, which I thought was quite poorly organized. The NEW Barron's (the one that's a new edition, not my Edwards and Cimmino) was WAY better with the examples given for essay questions which is worth 40% of your mark. The essay questions on the actually exam CAN be very difficult and vary every year, so don't let it lead you to believing that multiple choice is the most important.

I had this in conjunction with Cliffs. Read first two chapters fell asleep. Too general, doesn't give you the details you need for a 5. Get cliffs and you'll be really prepared. This says less in a lot more words. It is garbage.

This is extremely helpful; it is informative and has saved me from hours of excruciating and painful blundering I would hope to call studying. It is organized well and easy to understand, not only would I recommend this but all of the Princeton Review books I have read so far have been great!

I very strongly advise you buying this book if you wish to do well on the AP Exam. My teacher was completly useless (he never taught, we never took tests, and we never wrote any practice essays or took any practice AP exams). Nevertheless, I purchased this book and read through it and did the practice exams the weekend before the AP exam. I scored a 5 on this exam and have no doubt that I could not have acheived this without this book. I even belive it would be very possible to get a 5 on the AP exam without taking the class if you read this book (I didn't read one single chapter in the actual AP textbook). I don't, however know whether this book would help you do well in the actual class since our teacher didn't make us do anything or attempt to teach us anything, he just gave everyone a 99 in the class.

This is a wondeful book, i can tell that by may 2007 i'm ready to pass the Advanced Placement Biology Exam with a 4 or 5
