The Princeton Review realizes that acing the AP Biology Exam is very different from getting straight A’s in school. We don’t try to teach you everything there is to know about biology–only what you’ll need to score higher on the exam. There’s a big difference. In Cracking the AP Biology Exam, we’ll teach you how to think like the test makers and
-Eliminate answer choices that look right but are planted to fool you
-Improve your score by knowing in advance what biology topics are most
likely to be tested
-Memorize complicated biology concepts using simple techniques
-Use the Three-Pass System to get the most out of your time
-Ace the Essay section by practicing on our sample essay questions
This book includes 2 full-length practice AP Biology tests. All of our practice test questions are like the ones you’ll see on the actual exam, and we fully explain every answer.

I basically paid $13 for a 5 on the AP Biology Exam.
At my school, there is no AP Biology course. Instead, there is simply an honors course. A few friends and I, enrolled in that course, decided that we would take the AP Biology Exam. We all bought this book and we all studied. People doubted us, as taking an AP test without the class is often a recipe for failure at our school. In the class, due to an adaptation in the schedule, we didn't even cover plants, protists, fungi, photosynthesis, or respiration. Most of the body systems were left up to us to study, as well.
Fast forward to July 1. Being impatient, I call AP to find my scores. I'm praying for a 3 in Biology, but lo and behold, a 5. How?
The book goes over everything. Every subject that the book could test for it covers. In addition, the tests help prepare for the same kind of questions. I didn't incur the same problems as another reviewer, who said there were incorrect answers, but all the answers are explained and I really did not have a problem. In any case, the AP exam doesn't ask for the correct answer; it asks for the best answer. This book even goes over the experiments, which we didn't even have a chance to do, and thus helped me do well on the essay section even though I hadn't ever done the experiment.
If you are taking the AP Biology Exam, buy this book. With a little bit of work and this book, getting a 5 really isn't too difficult. |
Life saver!

| I had a horrible AP bio teacher this past year and I pretty much had to study on my own to learn this stuff. I also bought the AP Bio Cliffs book, but I used that as a review after I finished each chapter in the Princeton one. The Princeton one gives great descriptions and teaches you in essay format, while the Cliffs just gives you bullet points, so the information doesn't quite flow as smoothly. Also, Princeton's "words to know" and quiz questions at the end of each chapter helped me so much! I scored a 4 on the test, which would have never happened had I not got this book! |
Wonderful Book for AP Bio

I found this book very helpful for AP Preparation. It was easy to read and understand. The important facts were stressed. I also used Campell's Biology Text, which was used as a good reference. However, Patrick Leonardi's --The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations volume 1, volume 2 and volume 3 were also very good references. The questions helped me to test myself before taking the AP exam. Some of the questions were similar to AP type. It definitely helped me to pass the AP biology exam.

| I would recommend this book to anyone taking the test. I used it to study for the AP exam in 2006 and crammed 90% of the book the day before. I'm really happy with the result because I got a 5 from it. This was the only book I used. |
