It didn't help much once I took that SAT Bio on May 2. Had to rely on my AP knowledge to get me through the test. Had too much extraneous info that was not even mentioned. Of the entire book, only 1/4 of it kinda helped.
I'll start with saying that I got a 780 on the Biology SAT test. I purchased both this book and the barron's book. I would recommend buying both if you wish to score in the 700's, especially in the high 700's. The Barron's book has a better sense of the test, and the PR book has a bit more information, with more extraneous information. Ultimately the test will differ from any books. However the Princeton will prepare you very well. Also, most of the people in my class that scored in the 700's used this book.In my case in one month and a half of studying, with both books i could produce very good results. This book will help you to learn the format of the test and how to take advantage of it, as well as reinforcing your knowledge of the material as well. You will not regret buying this book
This book and Barron's SAT Biology together are what you need to do well on the SAT Biology E (I took the E one, not sure about M). I first read through the content in Barron's, then I used this book to reinforce all the concepts. I really love this book's practice tests, drills, and clear + easy to comprehend formatting, which, unfortunately, Barron's is lacking. However, the sacrifice is a little less information ... so that's why you should use Barron's with it. That's what I did, (along with studying consistently for my high school biology class and watching a crash course on Youtube) and it really helped me achieve a high score! Thanks, Princeton Review!
I used this book to study for the June exam and got a 650 (ignore this though it's probably just me being stupid), and my friend also used it and got a 740. Comparing it to Barron's, I wouldn't necessarily say either of them is significantly better. Princeton is much more user-friendly though, and really highlights big ideas that you need to know. I also really liked the drills they put in after each section. The practice tests are more accurate to what the actual test is like than Barron's, which has overly difficult practice tests, and the scores you get on them does NOT really reflect what you'll get on the actual test. My friend used Barron's and got high 700s on their practice tests but only got a 670 on the real thing. You really never know.If you're looking for a resource that's comprehensive, user-friendly, and has accurate practice tests, I would recommend Princeton, but you may want to use the Barron's book as a supplement.
Helped so much!

I bought for my daughter and this is helping her.
