<p>What are the best prep books for SAT Biology? I know it varies depending on the person and the time allocated to study, but in general are there any books that stand out? Also, are there any lesser-known but still useful review books other than the major ones (Barrons, Kaplan, PR, Spark Notes, etc.)?</p>

<p>cliffs.</p>

<p>Is Cliffs better than the books mentioned above in some regard?</p>

<p>well its suppose to be for the ap exam. however its very concise. as long as you have a good background knowledge of bio you should be fine with cliffs. barrons seriously over prepares you. and a little too wordy for me. haven’t tried the others. btw, everyone here on cc basically recommends cliffs.</p>

<p>^^ Only for AP Bio. I’ve never heard anyone reccomend cliffs for SAT. I’m probably gonna get PR and then if I have time after studying for that and the U.S. test, I might go through barrons. I’ve still retained most of the info from studying for the AP test, so PR should be fine.</p>

6

<p>Would reading Barrons several times straight through in conjunction with at least one other prep book be sufficient for at least a 750?</p>

7

<p>based on what i read on here about barrons, it sounds like reading through and understanding, and retaining just that would certainly be good enough for a 750</p>

8

<p>Anyone else who has used Barrons by reading is straight through?</p>

<p>are the Sparknote online SAT Biology practice tests pretty close to the actual SAT Biology tests or are they all quite a stretch.</p>

<p>The best one is Cliffs if ur studyin the concepts and etc. but the best practice tests r from the Collegeboard and Barron’s. i’m not sure bout princeton or kaplan…</p>

<p>Nah, I like AP PR better than Cliffs.</p>

<p>Those will probably over prepare you too much and unnecessarily though, so got with an SAT II review book- Barron’s or PR.</p>

<p>Cliffs has a ton of info packed into a small amount, with no garbage words in it. PR is a little easier read and has more pictures, charts, etc. I just picked up barron’s at the library 2day so we will see about it.</p>
