Excellent test guide   Review Date: December 20, 2007 Reviewer: B. P. Whitehurst, Clearwater, FL Excellent resource and practice. Has actual test questions. Some minor errors but other books by this company have also helped me ace several tests. Worth the money. Not bad just more pictures please!!!   Review Date: July 21, 2007 Reviewer: Tedster, Orlando, FL After being out of college for 20 years this book was a life saver. It did address every aspect of the subject matter and cover the Florida S.S.S.. The format used to present the information was fair. The block paragraphing was difficult to study from because it wasn't visual enough. I like pictures when the Kreb and Calvin cycles are described. More pictures are definitely need. I used Wikipedia to get the visuals I needed and further explanations of prefixes and suffixes of scientific words. Overall I would recommend it to anyone has been out of the biology loop for a while. I felt prepared during the test. Great study guide   Review Date: March 25, 2010 Reviewer: Tammy Jeronimus, tampa, fl The book is perfect for studying for the FTCE. Wish it came with flash cards though. it is a GUIDE not a TEXT BOOK   Review Date: July 10, 2009 Reviewer: M. West, Tallahassee TheFTCE Biology 6-12 is a guide to prepare one for the FL teacher certification exam. I read the reviews that said it was "full of typos and errors." I don't find factual errors but broad generalizations that could potentially be misleading. The key is using this as a guide and not a text. I start with the skill point listed, read the general review and then go to other sources for in-depth learning. Online I find animations, controversies, quizzes, many from online college biology courses. There are colleges and universities that make their content and quizzes available online to anyone. My point is that without the guide, I wouldn't really know WHAT to concentrate on. I use it as an outline and then I fill in the gaps and typos with my newfound knowledge. Of course, I haven't taken the test yet, so the efficacy of this approach remains unproven! Virtually Useless   Review Date: May 21, 2008 Reviewer: Considering Career Change, Florida I was appalled at the number of grammatical, printing, logical, and just plain factual errors in this book. It was not the help I expected it to be. There were repeated paragraphs, misspelled words, typographical errors, pronouns that referred to incorrect nouns, incomplete sentences, and statements that were so confusing I had to clarify many things on the Internet before I could transfer them to my study note cards. I actually started marking pages in the book at around page 5 and there are over 20 flags in 122 pages of study material. Even the sample test and explanations were spaced erratically and, more often than not, confusing. By the time I reached the sample tests, I grew weary of flagging their mistakes. Somehow, by studying the sample questions provided by the State of Florida and researching the web, I managed to pass this test in January of this year. I am now scheduled to take the Middle Grades General Science 5-9 FTCE test in July and need to find study material for that. I hesitate to purchase that study guide lest I waste another $60+ due to finding the same mistakes that caused me to research the material on my own. My dilemma is that there is no other suggested guide. I actually felt that I did more work with the Biology guide than I would have without it. Do they not employ a proofreader or fact checker? I emailed this same complaint to the publisher and have not yet heard from them.
