<p>I'm taking AP bio right now, and I plan on taking the AP test in May, but I am also looking to take the May 5th SAT2 in biology e or m, undecided.</p>

<p>your views on which prep book or which practice book to choose from?</p>

<p>my dad bought me the Sparknotes practice book, when I looked through it, apparently I need to know like the anatomy of the heart...something not covered in my ap biology class.</p>

<p>thanks for the suggestions :) Im taking advantage of our spring break to put in some serious bio studying, good luck to all you guys too =)</p>

<p>Kaplan is the best</p>

<p>this is the book you're referring to?</p>

4

<p>yes but the older editions are cheaper and they dont differ much or usually at all</p>

5

<p>Barron's is pretty good.</p>

6

<p>Barron's is very eloquent but prepares you well.
Princeton Review explains the material very clearly and adds some things that Barron's have.
I'm also taking Biology E/M on May 5th and studying with the combination of these two books.</p>

<p>Is E easier or M? So far in AP Bio, we haven't even covered the E part yet unless you count different forms of speciation as E (i.e geographic abrriers and behavioral isolation, etc.).</p>

<p>I personally prefer M as far as memorization goes. M seems a bit more concept based rather than memorization (i.e. anatomy).</p>

<p>Which exam has less anatomy?</p>

<p>For someone regularly getting A's in AP Bio, which book should I buy or is a good AP review book enough(cliff's)?</p>

8

<p>Molecular is definitely easier for me...because the questions are straightforward....the questions in E are usually trickier and have a harsher curve</p>

9

<p>E has a lot of graph analyzing/interpretation. It can go either way, they can either be tricky or simple depending on the situation and person</p>

10

<p>does anybody know if the 2 kaplan practice exams in the back of the bio SAT II books are similar to the actual tests or not?</p>

11

<p>Barron’s and PR are great when used together.</p>
