Summary: Buy this guide
Review: I used this book to help study for a very fast paced class at the University of Minnesota. I improved my grade from about 70% on the first exam, to over 90% on the second and about 95% on the final by using the book. The text is simply too filled with information. I found it difficult to know what to focus on in my studying. And there are just too few sample questions in the back. The study guide provides worksheet style exercizes to focus the student. I think would be especially helpful for courses where they use a "test bank of questions to generate the exam.

Summary: Excellent for test review, etc
Review: My AP Biology course uses Campbell's Biology as its main text. I ordered the study guide to help me study for tests. When I do the reading, I use this study guide to read the short summary, then read the section in the book. So far, this strategy has been very effective. In addition, the multiple choice study questions at the end of each chapter is very helpful. This book presents the information in a very organized, logical, and concise way. I would recommend it to anyone.

Summary: this study guide helped me
Review: This study guide helped to clarify information in my text that was unclear. By using this study guide it helped me to raise my grades in both of my college biology classes. Subjects liked ecology, the five kingdoms and energy pathways were explained with the reader in mind. I also found the following awesome for test preparation:
The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations (Topics: Organization of Living Things & Chemistry of Life, Structure and Function of the Cell and Energy Pathways, Reproduction and Heredity, Genetics) Volume 1 by Patrick Leonardi
The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations (Topics: Evolution, Kingdom Bacteria, Kingdom Protista, Kingdom Fungi, Viruses, Plant Form and Function) Volume 2 by Patrick Leonardi
The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations (Topics: Kingdom Animalia, Organization of the Animal Body, Animal Form and Function, Animal Reproduction, Development and Behavior) Volume 3 by Patrick Leonardi
The first study guide is great for getting a clearer explanation for harder subjects like the Krebs cycle and genetics. However, the the last three study guide helped me to figure out what kind of questions would appear on my college exams. I was recommended these books from my cousin who took bio at another college. I'm glad I took his advice, they helped me a lot.

Summary: University High School @ Irvine CA!
Review: Very Good Book. Recommended by Mr. Knight. A very very very good book. I personally enjoyed this book so much that I was never able to stop reading this book. Reading one chapter only takes you about 10 minutes if you are an avid Biology student like me. It's impossible to not get a 5 on the AP exam if you studied with this book + textbook + review book + Mr. Knight's notes + thoughts + advices + discussion + reviews + essays + AP CD + practice AP exams + studying 3 hours a day for bio + tutor. Easy, huh? But it really is possible; I got a 5! $100.00 + $30.00 = $130.00 = 5
