<p>So i want to study bio over the summer and take the subject test in the fall. What i want to know are 1 or 2 books that are helpful and provide a pretty nice review of the material because the last time i took a bio class was 2-3 years ago and ive just about forgotten everything :p. I hear PR and Barrons is a good combination?</p>
<p>yep its good that you have an entire summer to study
because most people are procrastinators! (like me :D)
I only went through the princeton book but i got an 800
but this was right after or more like during freshman year bio
so i don’t think you need to be like a biology major to pass this.
but since you have the barrons book and time i would go through it too.
there were TONS of questions i guessed on.
personally i think that obssessively taking every practice test you can
lay your paws on is a better way of maybe not learning but definitely preparing for the test.
then look up the stuff you don’t know.
the hardest thing for me was organismal biology. learnt next to nothing about that in class
and the princeton review does a horrible job on it. look that up in barron’s i guess
but for the most part barrons was just TOO in depth for me.</p>
<p>I’m studying for bio over the summer and using PR, Barron’s, and Cliffs Notes (AP).</p>
<p>I say just use Barron’s… PR is less condensed and has lots of extra useless information. (specific makeup of microtubules, etc.)</p>
