once again the princeton review proves to be the best way to study! to get a 5 all you need to do is read this book…it gives you the right amount for info you need in terms of knowledge for the aps, after that it’s just logic and common sense. although the practice tests aren’t very good(get actual collegboard tests to practice), absorbing most of the info in this book will get you a 5!

so i don’t actually own a 2006-2007 edition of TPR’s Cracking the AP Bio Exam, but I did use last year’s version, and, I have to say, it was awesome. The book included all the important concepts covered in the exam, and the way the book was written makes it interesting and even the more difficult concepts lucid. I ended up with a score of 5 for the AP Biology exam, and without this book I don’t think I’d be able to achieve this score.

I agree with everyone who says this review book is TRASH. Honestly, it has so little necessary information for the exam, that you could’ve just taken the exam without ever studying. I just thank God that I used a Barron’s in conjunction with this book. The Barron’s makes complicated concepts so easy that a caveman could understand them. Not only that, but it goes into detail and highlights key concepts that you’ll need to know for the exam, unlike the Princeton Review. This book does have practice tests, which are always good to do, but that’s about it. If I recall correctly, the book has about a page on the Immune system. A PAGE!!! Barron’s on the other hand had around 10. Seriously, this book does close to nothing in giving information essential to doing well on the exam.
So, to summarize everything I just said, Princeton Review is horrible and I’ll never use another review book by them again, AND go with either a Barron’s or Cliff’s because they actually know what they’re talking about and will prepare you for the exam.

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!

This book was my least favorite and least helpful AP Bio review book this year. This book’s only goal (unlike most other test preps) is to be a quick review made specifically for passing the AP Bio exam. This goal prevents the book from giving very much detail on any of the subjects of AP Bio. It wants to help you get a 3, not a 5. The book is filled with informal jokes and mneumonic devices, which were clever, but Biology should not be learned in this manner. After a long process was described, the book would say, “The ETS (Educational Testing Service) will not expect you to learn the steps of this process,” or after talking about molecular genetics, “The ETS loves to test genetic engineering;” these statements were frequently incorrect. The book was concerned only with teaching to the AP test, not teaching useful Biology so that you will remember it. This may sound good if you need to cram, but the level of detail is not sufficient to do well on the test, especially the essays. What kept me from giving this book 1 star is that it has an average amount of practice questions compared to other review books. If you are a middle-of-the-road student who would like to make a 3 on the AP test and forget everything you learned about Biology the day after the test, this book might be for you; however, I really think your money would be better spent on another AP Bio test prep.

If you want to score high on the Bio test or if you just want to learn more about Biology, this book is definitely the best study aid. I had a pretty good biology background because I read the standard AP Bio book, but this prep aid concentrated on the important aspects and I think that really made taking the test an easy task. I got a 5 on the test without breaking much sweat because the book covered most everything that was on the test. Read it about 2-4 weeks before the test and you should get a 4 or 5. However, I also recommend reading the textbook while taking the course if your teacher is not so great because the book is real in-depth.

My dad bought me this book last year and I was really disappointed with it. The problem? The intellectual level of the book is for someone who has never taken biology before and knows nothing about it. If that’s where you’re coming from, this may be useful, but don’t expect to get above a 2 on the exam. The majority of material on the test simply isn’t covered in this book – it gives general explanations, but none of the important details you will be tested on. The only part which I found helpful was a listing of the required labs (helpful hint: there is *always* an essay question about one of the labs). There are also several practice tests which are good. But overall, I’d recommend something else – I didn’t end up buying any other books but I looked at a few of my friends’ and the Cliff’s Notes one seemed good (check out the reviews for that and see what other people said.)

I’m sorry, but I just don’t understand how people can not like this book. This book was amazing and awesome and I owe any and all of my score to this book. My teacher taught us nothing and my textbook was even worse. I did not know anything nor did I understand anything. I saught this book out of desperation after even reading the Cliffs confused me. Biology at that point was just confusing and frustrating, and none of it sank in. This book made it all make sense. It helped me understand so much. Photosynthesis, respiration, mitosis, meiosis, ecology, it all started to click. After finishing a section in this book, I went to the Cliffs to get the nuances and a deeper understanding. Did I mention that I hated my textbook? I did not read more than a fourth of that book, it was just aweful, and in class, I did my math homework, because trying to pay attention was a complete waste of time and effort. Thus, at least for me, this book and the Cliffs replaced a bulky 1,200 page textbook, a teacher, and a year of biology. I went into the test feeling prepared enough to pass, but my score amazed both myself and everyone who knows me and my experience with biology. Somehow, I managed to get a five. Did the Princeton Review help? You bet!

I just wanted to let the Princeton Review people know that I’m very grateful for their AP books, particularly the AP Biology Princeton Review book. (I was recommended by a friend to purchase it.) In a class where biology seemed so foreign and impossible to comprehend, the “Cracking the AP: Biology” PR book was a lifesaver. The book was informative, easy-to-understand, and thorough, without being dull or lengthy. In fact it was your book that helped me to achieve a 5 on the AP exam, a feat that I never could have pulled off alone. Thanks Princeton Review! I always enjoyed and found confidence in your blunt, honest approach to the AP exams. I am fully convinced that your program’s strategies work, and I plan to enroll in your SAT II Writing class in the fall. Thanks again and continue helping out stressed out students like me!
