Are old AP Biology review books no longer useful for the 2013 Exam?

<p>Same as above, I have Barrons 3rd edition which was made before the AP changes, is it still useful or do I need a new review book? Thanks!</p>

<p>Get a new review book. The exam is really different than last year.</p>

<p>My teacher told my class that old books will still be useful in that it’s generally a good idea to prep for the exam in several different ways. A friend of mine gave me her cliffsnotes bio book from last year, and I’m still planning on using it, because I personally like variety when I study. However, the test really is different - less memorization and more intuition, and a different format as well.</p>

<p>do you mean in the sense as can that review book be your only resource NO NO NO !! … but the exam has changed into (as stated above) less memorization more intuition but there is still some memorization so tht review book would be good for the very little memorizzation part of the exam … but overall even the new review books that will come out can help with memorization … so overall i honestly say its close to useless … except to get different types of study for the exam</p>

<p>Thanks for all the insight guys =)</p>
