I had to take a biology subject test mid year for one of the colleges I was applying to, so I got this prep book to learn the second half of the material. After studying from this book for about a month ahead of my January SAT, I managed to get a 730 on the Bio M exam. The material on the exam matched what was in this prep book very closely. My only complaint is that it did not describe the difference in how colleges perceive the Ecology vs Molecular exam scores as the curves are a bit different. Nevertheless, this prep book worked out well for me.

It has a decent overview of all the topics but Princeton Review does a much better job. This is like a reminder of what to study. It also has a bunch of little mistakes. And the answer sheets for the sample tests only have 4 answers choices but every question has 5 answer choices.

Barron's review books never fail to meet the standards of delivery, organization, and amount of content. This particular book is no different. I have a Kaplan's SAT Subject Test Biology book at home, and it does not compare to this product in terms of quality and quantity. The key to SAT Subject tests are solving many many questions and many books do not have enough questions to practice. However, this book has a good amount of practice questions.

It is a good prep book... I already took one year of IB Biology and needed this to supplement my knowledge. I casually read through the chapters I didn't know and answered questions. I didn't heavily prepare for the subject test, but this book prepared me well. It is just like the subject test, because when I took the real test I felt like I was using the Barron's book again! I scored a 700 after, which was good for my first try.

The sample test one has 5-choice questions yet the answer sheet only has 4-choices. I.e the questions have abide while answering sheet only had abcd? What's going on? Can somebody help me?

Not sure about the accuracy of the book since I'm not a scientist by any means. However, there are other things I can fact check.There are small accuracy issues. Most ironic was one found in a section about accuracy and precision. There is a picture with a ruler that shows a measurement of 2.6 inches. For those of you who use rulers with some consistency, it is common knowledge that you cannot measure inches to the tenths.Then in the line below the diagram, it says "the line shown is 2.6cm long."If they overlook such simple mistakes, I worry for what more egregious one may exist that will mislead students.

A good comprehensive review of all major biology topics with useful practice questions. There is a lot of material presented in a concise way. I would recommend reading the whole book for an outstanding score. The SAT questions are not particularly hard if you know the material well.

THis is a great book with lots of mc questions to practice on. The book is easy to understand. I always buy the Barron's books.
