Does anyone recommend any specific biology prep book? All help would be greatly appreciated.

wondering this too.

Princeton Review is a great choice. If you have time, though, I would recommend using Barron's; even though it is considered really hard and at times unnecessary, you'll have all your bases covered for the test.

I used the Princeton Review and thought it was pretty good, but I found that I had to rely on educated guessing and critical thinking for many of the questions. On the other hand, I've heard Barron's has a lot of unnecessary info and you'd need to start studying way in advance, but you're guaranteed a good score if you use it.

Good luck!

I found Barron's to be a wonderful source of review. It seems to have most of the specific details necessary for the test.

sparknotes online tests are great. it also helps if you already took the ap bio course

I read through Princeton Review about 3 times, and Barrons twice. I took all the Princeton Review practice tests, all the Sparknotes practice tests, and 1 Barrons practice test. Having never taken AP Biology, I got a 740 on October's test, which was considered fairly difficult. I'm not exactly happy with my score, but I guess without a solid biology background, it's as good as it can get.

I guess I should also mention that while I endorse Barron's for general review, PR has much more accurate practice tests.
