SAT II Biology

Rating:
Summary: Simple and concise is the way to go!
Review: I took the SAT II Biology test my senior year of high school because some of the colleges I was applying to required a science SAT II. Since I didn't like chemistry or physics, I decided to take the Biology test. I problem was I hadn't taken honors biology since freshman year, and I was only a month into AP biology. I used this book along with the princeton review book because I needed things explained plainly and simply. Any gaps in one book seemed to be covered by the other. Just by studying these 2 books for a week before, and by using Sparknote's 5 More practice tests book, I was able to get a 760 on the Biology-M test.

I would definitely buy this book for its simple explanations. Barron's and Kaplan's have too much information. I know some people say study more just in case, but trying to memorize all that information is unnecessary and impossible in a short amount of time. There were only 3 questions on the test I had no clue about, and to me the effort and time needed to study the entire Kaplan book is not worth it for 3 questions.
