So I got this book about 2 months before the AP test. I opened it like 5 days before the AP test and started cramming and cramming non-stop. Please do not use this approach unless you find the world of Biology fascinating. The five days with this book, I must say, were torturous but very helpful. Now you need to understand that I probably have the worst AP Biology teacher imaginable, he covered 30% of the topics and did pointless labs the entire time. Anyway about the book, it is very well organized, no mistakes, errors, and probably the best substitute for a textbook. I got a 4 on the AP exam using this book and some released exams in 5 days work.
Now for many of you who can't settle for anything but a 5, I will tell you what you need.
Getting a 5:
- Get this Book
- Get released exams (easy to find, try this site:[...]) and do them all.
- Read this book once throughout the year. Then read the book again 3 weeks before the test until the test day.
- I can't stress the importance of not slacking off like I did. If you have a good AP Bio class (unlike me), do all the homework!
After the test, I felt pretty confident about getting a 5. I think not enough detail in the Free Response messed me up or something. But I am happy with a 4. I know a lot of people who would trade a 5 day study session to get out of a semester of freshman Bio. But getting that 5 would have got me out an elective Bio semseter UGHHH.....
oh.. and yea.. DONT GET CLIFFSAP unless you think you are already sweet at Biology. This book has a lot more important detail.
Getting you a 5 will only cost like the 13 bucks you pay for this book and a couple hours finding all those exams at that site (just make an account and start asking, people are really friendly.)

the book gives the explanation in a good way [as a summary]. The most useful think about the book is that it gives you two practice test and a diagnostic test [made up of ap questions], it also has free-response questions =)
You can score a 5 easily with this book November 30, 2009

Now suppose your English essay writing is just average, and you keep getting B's in your AP Biology class (using Campbell's Biology). You do not need to worry. Just use Barron's AP Biology half an hour a day for 2 months and you will see the perfect result.

English is my second language and got a 5 in the exam. Before I got this book in April, I always had 3 in practice exams (finals at school). In class, my grades were C (first semester) and B (second semester).
The best thing about this review was that it was well-organized unlike many other reviews that the topics were all-over. This review started off with diagnostic test that had higher standard than the AP exam and finished off with answers in detail. In every chapter, it had enough graphs and figures to remember the detail figuratively rather than memorizing word-for-word. (Someone said that the number of diagrams was superfluous but I learnt much quicker with detail AND diagrams) For every important terms, it was in bold or italics so that I was more aware of what I was expected in the exam. The chapters finished off with multiple-choice questions which I knew whether that chapter was dead easy or I needed to reread the chapter pedantically. There were also few chapters that clarified the nature of the essay scoring. (The essay part can make a huge difference to your grade as an average AP Biology Free Response score is 3 out of 10). Also, the two model tests at the end are difficult but are helpful in the actual exam. (They are not confident booster) I got between 3 and 4 in the model test but managed to find the exam much much easier with a 5.
This is an excellent review book anyone struggling with AP biology. If you have the determination to engage in reading paragraphs and writing practice essays, this book can endorse you to get the highest grade in the exam.
