<p>I'll be taking the course in my junior year so yeah, I know it's pretty early to start worrying about the AP exam as I just finished sophomore year, but which books are recommended? *and why?
*
I have Cliffs and a 2007 edition of the Kaplan AP Bio prep book.
Will that suffice?
Biology isn't my best subject; even in just Bio ACC in 9th grade, I struggled a bit (I still maintained a very high A but that was because of luck and memorization skills.. I couldn't tell you like 75% of the stuff I learned lol).</p>

<p>Thank you :)</p>

<p>Cliffs AP Bio and you will have a 5.</p>

3

<p>^I second that suggestion</p>

<p>cliffs is pretty detailed for a prep book, I bet you can get by in the class with at least a B with just cliffs.</p>

<p>Cliff’s is really good. I’ve checked out others and not the same league</p>

6

<p>what did you guys think of:
5 Steps to a 5
PR</p>

<p>Thanks for the replies everyone :)</p>

<p>@blabbermouth: I did extensive research (literally read like all the pages of this “Consolidated Book Suggestions” thread) and I noticed that PR wasn’t “put down” necessarily; I just saw that Cliffs was highly praised.</p>

<p>I personally don’t like 5 Steps to a 5 so I doubt I’ll be using any more of those prep books b/c I couldn’t remember anything after studying from it for APWH and I ended up just using PR. </p>

<p>One more question: do AP Bio flash cards (Barron’s) help at all?</p>

<p>I think the AP Bio flashcards helped me considerably (but just for review purposes), I would wait till before the exam to get them.</p>
