Customer Reviews

Just what I wanted

This book was exactly what I needed. I haven't taken the test yet, but it's a great resource for studying and I have confidence that it will help give me at least a basic idea of what to expect. Shipped quickly. I'm very satisfied.

One Of The Best GRE Subject Books For Biology Majors Who Want To Score High

This is one of the best GRE subject books for any person trying to score high on the GRE exam in Biology. It covers everything you need to know in detail. The illustrations, the diagrams, the graphs, the charts, are all very helpful too. They even show you some basic math to help you understand everything better and for it to make sense for you. It has three sections Cellular and Molecular Biology, Organismal Biology, and Ecology and Evolution. I could not put it down it was so helpful and I understood everything that they wrote down. This book is very specific and as mentioned above and thorougly explains everything without you saying this is too much. There are about 14-15 practice questions at the end of each section and the answers are explained fully. The end of the book there are 200 questions that cover everything that you read in the book and the answers are again fully explained at the end. I am not a good multiple choice test taker but after reading about 10 pages on a certain topic I answered the question correctly at the end. I highly recommend this book you will definately score higher on the GRE subject. Even if you are not a good test taker you will most likely get a higher score! The book might I add is interesting to read too and is very thought provoking.

buy any version you want

You might as well buy any version you want for a test you will take soon, but I did find this book very helpful for reviewing without much time to do so. The situation will change when the test goes electronic, however. In that case the old versions will likely be obsolete.

Excellent test prep

Definitely useful, especially to familiarize you with what exactly to expect from the test. The practice test definitely taught me a lot (such as "I know nothing about plants"), and the review material was great. My only gripe is that there was only one test in the back of the book. Combined with the free practice test you can get off the GRE website, this gives you 2 practices. While that helps, I'd've liked (and would have gladly paid extra for) more, even just one more.

Exceptional

I don't know what this gentleman from Ann Arbor is talking about. Mr. Monk, however, has hit the nail right on the head. This was an excellent buy and helped me increase my score considerably. There are no significant typos throughout the entire book. Each topic is covered from every angle, providing extensive information that I found invaluably helpful. The review test at the end of the exam was really the kicker; there were questions on my exam that were nearly identical to those found in the book. Kaplan has done it again.
