Best AP Biology Book?

Question

Which of these AP Biology books are better?

1) Cliffs AP Biology

2) Princeton

3) Barron's AP Biology

4) McGraw Hill's Sat II : Biology

My teachers list consists of those including the McGraw Hill's one, but I am not sure if it is McGraw Hill's Sat II or not. Thats all that Border's offers. My guess was that Barron's is the best? Thanks.

Answer 1

I got a 5 studying off of Barrons. You'll be more prepared because the practice exams are harder than the actual ap test.

Answer 2

definitely cliff notes!!!!

Barrons has way too much extra info. Cliffs is simple but enough. I got a 5 last year using cliffs.

Answer 3

My friend who took AP Bio was really happy with the Cliffs one.  You can check out www.amazon.com for reviews of the different books, but my suggestion would be #1.

Answer 4

i dont take AP bio but everyone in my school who does take it has the cliffnotes book for class

Answer 5

I'm taking AP Bio next year and everyone I know told me to get the Cliffs Notes.

Good luck next year! :)
