Title: Cracking the AP Biology, 2000-2001 Edition by Kim Magloire ISBN: 0-375-75495-4 Publisher: Princeton Review Pub. Date: 25 January, 2000 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $17.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.32 (19 reviews)

Summary: This is a useful book...
Comment: but it oversimplifies the test in my opinion. I like to feel like I know what I'm doing rather than just be armed with strategies. I will say that the PR's strategies are great and really help out on the test. The writing style is easier to understand than barron's. However, I don't recommend this book for a full review of the concepts you need to know. It is a helpful supplement to help you review for the AP exam in addition to what you review from your text and notes.

Summary: A nice review
Comment: I thought this book was a very helpful review, but I must stress that it should only be used as a review. As I painfully learned, the Princeton Review AP Bio book is not a substitute for a real teacher or class. My biology class at school was not challenging, and though I spent many hours with the book, it was not enough to make up for a too-easy class. I ended up with a 2 on the AP test, but I liked how the book explained things in simple, everyday English (although it might be too skimpy on the details).
To the regular student, use the book as a review, not a substitute for a class. It won't work miracles for you, you have to put work into it! Good luck!

Summary: An Excellent Book
Comment: I'm sorry, but I just don't understand how people can not like this book. This book was amazing and awesome and I owe any and all of my score to this book. My teacher taught us nothing and my textbook was even worse. I did not know anything nor did I understand anything. I saught this book out of desperation after even reading the Cliffs confused me. Biology at that point was just confusing and frustrating, and none of it sank in. This book made it all make sense. It helped me understand so much. Photosynthesis, respiration, mitosis, meiosis, ecology, it all started to click. After finishing a section in this book, I went to the Cliffs to get the nuances and a deeper understanding. Did I mention that I hated my textbook? I did not read more than a fourth of that book, it was just aweful, and in class, I did my math homework, because trying to pay attention was a complete waste of time and effort. Thus, at least for me, this book and the Cliffs replaced a bulky 1,200 page textbook, a teacher, and a year of biology. I went into the test feeling prepared enough to pass, but my score amazed both myself and everyone who knows me and my experience with biology. Somehow, I managed to get a five. Did the Princeton Review help? You bet!
