great book

I consider this was a great book for me, in my case I was going to take the SAT II on Biology after a whole year without taking Biology class. This was a little scary for me, but when I picked up the Kaplan book, I was relieved, this book has a great review for the test, it covers everything in molecular and ecological biology. Even if biology is not my strong point, I could understand everything without problems and I could feel more confident the test day. The book is excellent if you need a full review for the test, it has a lot of material, so if you don't need to review a certain material, you can just take the diagnostic test and check which chapters you can skip, and just review what you really need. Also it includes a section with tips for preparing better for the test day. I fully recommend this book, but, if you are a good Biology student, and are looking for some light review, you might find that the book has too much material

Great Bio E/M Reviewer, but with minor Limitations

I used the 2003-2004 edition when I was prepping for my own Bio E/M SAT. Overall, I was pretty pleased with what I got. This is definitely a pretty solid 'workbook', runs through all of the nuts & bolts of everything from physiology to molecular bio. I had my bio teacher helping me prep back then, and it definitely worked better. Sometimes, this book can get a little overwhelming with all the terms and functions to understand and memorize. A key example would probably be the parts on physiology. However, it does a pretty good job of breaking the material down to a summary in the end. Sure, I did get to read through the whole book, but it would not have been possible without anyone else nearby who I could have asked about confusions that may have arisen from this book. I would have given this book 4.5 / 5. But considering that there's no 4.5, I'd have to settle for a 4.
