 I successfully passed CLEP Biology using this book May 16, 2005

This book prepares you for every possible topic that may be on the test. I failed this test twice before. The first time I didn't have this book. The second time I didn't read every section or take all the practice test. After studying the entire book, taking each practice question at the end of each chapter, I passed the CLEP Biology with ease. This book does have one short coming. It only has one complete test that would prepare you for the exam. My suggestion is to purchase AP Biology (REA), it has six practice test.
SOO GOOD! December 24, 2005

i LOVE This book!!! i am currently enrolled in AP biology, and this book practically saved me from reading the monstrous textbook. im serious. this is all you need to know for the unit exams and possibly for the AP too judging by the other reviews. For unit test, i just read this book and skim over my notes...maybe look at the study guide for our campbell&reese textbook, and i've gotten over 100% on all of them. GET THIS BOOK! the barrons has more graphics/organization, but this one is definitely the best in its field. no questions.
A Biology Major's Recommendation August 8, 2002
14 out of 16 found this review helpful
This book is both a wonderful resource for the AP Biology exam AND as a class supplement to both High School and Introductory College Biology classes! As a senior in high school I found this book while hunting for AP Bio Test Prep Supplies and bought it right away! It had everything I wanted:-Easy to understand overviews of test subjects
-Practice tests
-AP Bio Experiment outlines and results
-Essay questions
-Tips for taking exams
and more! Using it as a study supplement I was able to get a 5 on my AP Biology exam, and, surprisingly, an A on my Biology final exam as well! I liked it so much that I brought it with me to college and used it to study for all of my Introductory Biology classes as well! As a Biology Major I have found this book to be an invaluable tool. I've gotten so much use out of this one book and feel that I have definitely more than gotten my money's worth. I would recommend it highly as not only an AP Test Prep book, but to anyone who wants to get a clearer understanding of General Biology at either the High School or College level.

This is by far the best AP Biology study guide I have ever seen. Barron's goes into WAY too much detail to be much use as a reviewing tool, the Princeton Review gives just a glance over the basics and leaves out important detail. Cliff's goes over EXACTLY what is on the College Board's topic outline. It does and excellent job of modeling questions and lab topics that are like those on the AP test. Year after year, students tell me that this book was their salvation. Because of that I am making this book a requirement for my class. This book gives plenty of emphasis on the lab requirement and reviews every lab that is in the "Acorn" book from the College Board. If you are a first year AP teacher, use this book to determine what to teach and how to structure your curriculum and you will leave nothing out and you won't waste any time teaching something that won't be tested on the exam. In fact, teach in the order of the book, structure you lectures around it. The students' scores will amaze you!
Excellent AP Book June 6, 2003

Cliffs AP Biology is BY FAR the best AP Biology book on the market. No other book comes close!
This book is concise, effective and comprehensive at the same time. While other books use 4-10 pages to go over one topic (like photosynthesis), Cliffs AP covers the same material in 2-3 pages! The material is written in a simple and easy to understand fashion and comes complete with diagrams, pictures, charts and bolding, which make it simple to learn.
Not only that, the book covers lab and has a FULL practice exam.
The one thing i loved about this book was that after each section, there were 10-20 "review quiz" problems over the section which came complete with essay topics.
I bought this book approximatly 1 week before the AP Biology exam. In class we were using the Cambells Biology book (wonderful), and i read the Cliffs AP book, did the practice problems, and got a 5 EASILY!Simply put, Cliffs AP Biology is the ONLY AP BIO book you will need.
