<p>This would be by self study, end of year, for my son who is a senior now. Would welcome opinions, thanks,</p>
<p>Most recommended as I see: Cliff's AP Biology. Just need that and if he doesn't understand something the web has lots of places that have information. If you can get a textbook to go along with your prep. study, it would be Campbell's. All in all, Cliff's should be sufficient enough.</p>
<p>the all-time best book for AP Biology is Campbell's huge volume. Read it and a five is almost certain.</p>
<p>Cliffs for the essentials, and in case he likes to be over prepared get Barrons</p>
<p>I am really finding that 5 steps to a 5 is great for a review. It doesn't go through a lot of the information but it is pretty good if you can get your hands on this one along with Cliff's and maybe Campbell's if you don't understand the concept.</p>
<p>Cliffs. My friend self studied and got a 5.
My school's AP BIo teacher practically teaches out of Cliffs HAHAHa</p>
<p>I am taking the course with a Campbell book which is outstanding. I also own a copy of the Cliff's review book (which can also be viewed online for free).</p>
<p>Cliffs itself has all the basics of the course and is an OUTSTANDING aid to the course. I would not be too confident in it by itself though.</p>
<p>I would say buy an old version of Campbell off Amazon and use Cliffs online as a supplement.</p>
<p>Thanks so much to all who replied! We appreciate your help, and these are all great suggestions.</p>
