Title: Cracking the SAT II: Biology & Biology E/M 1999-2000 (Princeton Review Series) by Theodore Silver ISBN: 0-375-75297-8 Publisher: Princeton Review Pub. Date: 01 March, 1999 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $17.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 3.4 (10 reviews)
Rating: 4
Summary: A great practice material but still needs improvement
Comment: This book really teaches you the stuff you need to know on the SAT II Biology test. It uses simple English to make it much more easy to digest. You will definitely understand what is going on. However, this book doesn't cover some of the stuff that is on most Biology tests. Princeton Review should include more topics and more diagrams of cells, organisms, etc.
This book is good for people aiming for a score around 600 - 650. But if you want a higher score, get another book.
Rating: 5
Summary: A VERY Helpful piece of Literature!
Comment: I recomend this SAT II Biology E/M test preparation book to those taking Biology in 9th or 10th grade. It is very helpful for getting a high grade on the SAT II: Biology E/M. I liked it better than the Barron's one that is also sold here at Amazon.com.

Summary: Good for mediocracy
Comment: I am a biology teacher who was looking for a book to help another teacher's student prepare for the SAT II's in Biology. I was attracted to this book because it seemed to have a lot of helpful test taking strategies and because it was a fairly easy read. The student I worked with, who had done very well in a competitive high honors biology class, did the entire book, and the two practice tests, yet she only scored a 650 on the real exam. In looking over other materials, I can now see that the Princeton Review manual is a lot less thorough, although it is clearer and more readable. Since many courses do not cover all the material on the exam, lack of thoroughness can mean the student does not get any exposure to several topics. If you are looking for an above average score, this book is certainly easier to follow, as well as more enjoyable. However, it is not for the person loking for the highest possible score. In addition, the amount of mistakes the book has is pathetic- for example, they left out how to score one of the tests!
The Princeton Review has a good reputation, but I am beginning to believe they are for the average to slightly above average level student. This is not the only book by them in which I have had a negative experience- I doubt I'll buy something from them again.
