I used Peterson’s AP Biology Review Book and Campbell and Reece’s “Biology: 7th Edition” text this past year, and found that to be a really good combination. The Campbell and Reece text does tend to have too much info, but it is written in a super fluid way - so I would definitely recommend reading it, even if you learn a little more than you might need for the AP exam. The Petrerson’s book isn’t as detailed as some other review books might be, but it provides a clear, thorough, easy-to-read-quickly summary of the course that helps a lot with main ideas and stuff. After using both of them, I feel pretty confident that I got a 5 in AP Bio.
