Summary: Great for Tests and Quizes!
Comment: During my college biology class in High School, I would always do well in the labs but would do poorly in quizzes and tests. I received the book in the mail a day before my test. I read the chapter we were studying on the way to school and I easily passed the test.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best AP Biology Review Guide Around
Comment: I've reviewed and used all the other review guides during the last 10 years that I've taught AP Biology and this one is absolutely the best. It's the one I order every year for my AP Biology students. I recommend it highly.

Summary: CliffNotes A.P. Biology
Comment: The book came exactly as it was described and arrived on time so I had it for school.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Best review book I've ever used
Comment: This book reviews all the material you need to know for the test, in a clear, simple, efficient way. I bought it too late to use it in my AP Biology class, but I'm sure it would be good for that too. I read the whole book the week before the AP test and got a 5.
Customer Rating:
Summary: This book is the reason I got a five.
Comment: I didn't learn a lot in my AP Biology class; we rarely took our lessons seriously and our teacher gave us very few assignments. We learned material slowly--by the time May came around, we still had nine chapters left (out of 56) to read in the textbook!
Everyone in our class was pretty much flipping out over the AP test and how soon we had to take it. Nobody felt prepared. My friend actually reread the entire textbook in the week we had to review before the test. I procrastinated, and didn't want to go through that (our textbook was MASSIVE) so I read this cover-to-cover twice the weekend before the exam. Didn't need to take notes, just highlighted bits of information in spots where there were some excessively detailed descriptions.
This book has excellent diagrams, and except for occasional typos here and there, it wasn't at all difficult to read. I'd suggest it for anyone with a mediocre teacher, or people who know they're going to slack off until a week before the exam :) Reading the book once, slowly and thoroughly, and then rereading it again quickly (skimming through areas that I already knew pretty well) was the strategy that earned me a five on the exam this year! I love this book.
Several students in my class used the Princeton review book, which does spend more time explaining how the AP test works than this does, but in every other respect CliffsAP is far better than the other review book options.
It helped on class tests as well, because it explored concepts in a much clearer, easily understood way than the textbook did.
Absolutely would recommend anyone to buy it.
