Great choice for studying!
If you are searching for a review book or the AP Biology exam, look no further.. you need to buy this book right now! I recently took the Biology exam and this book has helped me learn material I was not taught in class, or review material I had forgotten. What I like about this book is that every section was not overcrowded with information. All the chapters were short (6-40 pages about) and to the point. All of the topics were explained perfectly that I was never confused about what I was reading. The book comes with useful sample questions at the end of each section so you can test yourself, and the questions and explanations are very helpful. I actually saw one question from the review book on my AP Exam, so you know their information is reliable. The one thing I did not like about this book was the lack of figures, or graphics. I am a visual learner and I would have preferred more descriptive pictures, such as the ones in my actual AP BIO textbook, to better understand concepts. The figures they had were vague. Anyway, they did a great job at enlightening me about plants, a subject I did not learn in class but was prevalent on the exam. Please choose this book for its benefits are enormous and you are guaranteed a 4 or a 5 if you read this book in depth.

Best AP Biology Review Book
I used this book to get a 5 on the AP exam. It's extremely thorough and an easy read. If you read the Campbell-Reece biology book along with Cliff Notes you will definitely get a 5. This book does a great job simplifying topics such as Photosynthesis and Respiration. It also has a one page review of all 12 AP Labs that show up on the Free Response Section of the AP. Definitely get this book to prepare for the AP. I read it the night before the AP to review all of the topics. The questions after each section are pretty accurate and are around the same difficulty as the AP. Don't hesitate to buy this book.

Good book.
Was very helful. Good book for prep. Keep sharing education at a lower price. Education is something that should be shared but not sell. Keep the price low and support student who want to study more and avoid create fear of "too expensive". Please lower the price.

Completely fabulous
This book was a godsend. I wish I could give it a 6. I struggled in my Bio class all year--I hated the subject and I'm terrible at memorization. I bought this book 2-3 weeks in advance and got a 5 on the AP exam. The amount of information is perfect--it's exactly what you need to know for the exam, nothing more, nothing less. It's written very concisely so you can skim and figure out what you know and what you don't know. Important words terms and concepts are bolded. The practice questions weren't radically easier or harder than the actual exam. And there are diagrams and tables abound, so you can pinpoint exactly what happens during photosynthesis or glycolysis or the differences between meiosis and mitosis. On the other hand, you can't start from this book cold because you'll get bogged down by technical terms very quickly. That's why it's a perfect *review* book, and not a textbook stand-in or supplement like, say, Barron's. Three cheers for CliffsAP!

Great Guide
So, even though I ended up with a 3 and was pretty bummed out about it, I can't deny this is a super helpful source for AP Bio. I literally read this the night before the test and scored a 3. I think if you actually took the time to do the practice tests in the book and read through the book a second or third time it would be enough to get a 5. I personally struggle with science classes, so don't let my score be an indicator of the cohesiveness of this book. It's a great guide and I think had I spent more time preparing with the practice essay prompts I could've raised my score to at least a 4. Even though I won't be getting college credit for this class I know I'll be far more prepared in any intro biology class thanks to this book.
