Editors must've been napping on this one. The book is full of errors, typos, and many of the answers to the questions are placed incorrectly resulting in an absolutely frustrating experience for someone who is probably already suffering anxiety at having to take the SAT II to begin with. (I know it was for me). I suggest you buy a similar book from another publisher. Their editors messed up. When trying to take practice tests and determine how I'd do on the SAT II, I was confronted with answers for questions all jumbled, making me (at first glance) believe that I had repeatedly failed the practice exam and giving me no hope for the real test. (You can surely imagine how frustrating this was after all of the studying I had been doing!) Many questions also did not have supporting information in the review part, so there was no way to go back and look up something you might not understand and need to review again. Some of the answers given in the answer key were not backed up by the explanations and some of the explanations contradicted themselves so you kind of didn't really know if your answer was right or not, which doesn't help much. Please note that I'm an honors student with a very high average so it's not like I'm whining and just trying to blame the publishers. I just think that it's important for the book to HELP you study for the SAT II, not CONFUSE you. In short: this book helped only slightly, and I would NOT recommend it to anyone.
I am totally disgusted with this review book. I have been studying this review for a little over a week and I just cannot stand it anymore. I find a typo on every page, literally. The tests are both unrealistic and have the wrong answers printed in the back of the book. Additionally, there is no scoring guide to even gauge how well you are doing. Not that that would matter, because there is really no way to even find out which questions you got wrong in the first place. Truthfully, I feel more confused about biology now then when I started reading this mess.
I use three books at a time to study for the SAT II Biology exam. No review book is perfect; athlough, I would highly suggest buying a copy of Barron's. Until reaching page 85, I rather liked McGraw-Hill and thought that Barron's was getting a run for its money!! But seeing as though McGraw-Hill got the forumla for the Krebs Cycle wrong due to a typo, I have lost a lot of confidence. 2 NADH ARE NOT THE NET GAIN FROM KREBS PER PYRUVATE! IT IS 3!!! 2NADH per Pyruvate would leave us 6 ATP short! Not good!Other than that rant, McGraw-Hill does give some good outside information and yet another perspective on Biology-something you really need when facing the exam!Proceed with caution!
This book, while one of the cheapest on the market, was not worth the money spent. It did not prepare me for what was on the Biology SAT II. While at first it seems okay, it is to general to be accepted as a good review. Along with the many typos, this book doesn't even teach everything that is found in the practice tests in the back of the book, and even made mistakes in the answer key. Since I had to go out and buy another book anyways, dont waste your money on this and just get a book like Princeton Review, Kaplan, or Baron.
I managed to get an 800 on the SAT Biology through studying with a combination of the practice tests of this McGraw-Hill's and the explanations and tests of the Princeton Review. I recommend both, so you have material to work with. Flashcards are also extremely useful.
