Is there Barron's 4th edition same as 5th edition?

Hi I’m taking AP biology this year and I have the 4th edition of Barron’s but there’s a 5th edition out… Is there any difference between the two? If so what are the differences? Is it a huge difference because I’m sort of cheap when it comes to prep books… Thanks!!

To be honest, I don’t think so.

I’m in the same boat as you, and I have the 4th edition. I went on Amazon and compared the two editions based on item description: the topics are the same. The 5th edition however, has an online component which doesn’t matter.

To summarize, there’s virtually no difference between the two. I will continue to cherish the 4th edition that I currently have, haha

Yeah I bought the 5th edition, wondering if there was much of a difference, and from what I think, no. If you want the online website that they included in the front inside cover, it’s Barron's Online Test Preparation for AP Exams
