 OK Book, Besides Freshman Biology! |
| Review Date: December 1, 2005 |
| Reviewer: Irene Music, |
I just took the GRE Bio Subject test in November. I used Kaplan, the test booklet produced by ETS, Princeton Review Cracking the GRE and my Campbell's Biology from freshman Biology in college. Of all books, I found the Campbells Biology the most helpful. Second was Kaplan. Check out my review for P. Review book, because the vocab list at the back was very helpful, and so was the practice test, but the rest of that book was worse than terrible. I am not sure of my score yet, but I know that many things I studied were on this test, it was a typical rehash of all that nit picky stuff like the difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic flagella to the intricate details of sarcomeres.
Oh, and the structure of the test, I didn't know it until I took some practice tests -- either it's not explicit in any of these books or I just passed over it. It's 110 multi choice questions first, then 30 or so of questions that you have to choose the correct word for each statement, then 50ish questions on several charts and experiments. The last section takes the longest, the choose-word questions go very fast and the multi choice is where you can really gain time if you study these darn books for tricky questions regarding the mesophyll of plants etc that would otherwise take up time trying to eliminate and choose the best answer. If you can know the multiple choice quickly and solid, you'll have plenty of time for the charts etc.

| I don't know what this gentleman from Ann Arbor is talking about. Mr. Monk, however, has hit the nail right on the head. This was an excellent buy and helped me increase my score considerably. There are no significant typos throughout the entire book. Each topic is covered from every angle, providing extensive information that I found invaluably helpful. The review test at the end of the exam was really the kicker; there were questions on my exam that were nearly identical to those found in the book. Kaplan has done it again. |
Excellent test prep

Definitely useful, especially to familiarize you with what exactly to expect from the test. The practice test definitely taught me a lot (such as "I know nothing about plants"), and the review material was great.
My only gripe is that there was only one test in the back of the book. Combined with the free practice test you can get off the GRE website, this gives you 2 practices. While that helps, I'd've liked (and would have gladly paid extra for) more, even just one more. |
An EXTREMELY helpful guide to a successful test

| I was dreading taking the GRE in the month of April. It was already February and I had not yet begun to prepare. A friend suggested this book to me. The questions were helpful, the material was easy to understand, and I received a 760 on the exam. Thank you Kaplan and author! |
Good tool for test prep

I found that Kaplan's bio GRE review book accurately represented the contents of the test. It gives a good review of the material covered on the GRE (although with a few minor errors) and the practice test was very similar in content, structure, and difficulty to the real one.
Update: I just got my scores back, and I stand by my review :) an excellent buy, it was definitely worth it. |
