Kaplan GRE Biology

Rating:
Summary: You can find a much better review book!
Review: Although the book does contain sections on most of the important topics to review for the Bio GRE, the writing style is often confusing, and the author places emphasis on obscure aspects of some topics. There are also some typos (for example, omitting one half of an equation) and questionable or misleading statements. The practice test at the end has many poorly written questions and is not really very similar to the real practice exams available from ETS. Try another book if you need a bio GRE review guide!

Summary: Exceptional
Review: 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.

Summary: Very good review for GRE, definitely must study
Review: I liked this book because it was a great review for this exam. The topics were quite easy to interpret and learn from. It's very complete and excellent for reviewing for this test. I liked how animal structure and function was explained--one of my favorite topics. I also found quite useful was:
The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations by Patrick Leonardi
Volume 1, Volume 2 & Volume 3. These books had great review questions that geared me in the right direction on what to study.

Summary: An EXTREMELY helpful guide to a successful test
Review: I was dreading taking the GRE in the month of April. It was already February and I had not yet begun to prepare. A friend suggested this book to me. The questions were helpful, the material was easy to understand, and I received a 760 on the exam. Thank you Kaplan and author!
