<p>If I get a barrons prep book for biology, how much should i study to get an 800. If you got an 800, can you please explain how you studied exactly? A couple of hours a day...or like non stop???</p>
<p>I'm not crazy about barron's. I tried, I really tried to cozy up to that boring, awful book but I couldn't. It makes biology sound awful and dull. Its great for those that are willing to persevere and get that 750+, but my brain went dead.</p>
<p>"It makes biology sound awful and dull."</p>
<p>Are you saying it isn't?</p>
<p>I've heard Barron's is good for math, though.</p>
<p>^^LOL, no biology is interesting and informative when done right. Like it is in Kaplan and PR prep books and Campbell's Bio textbook.</p>
<p>o,after reading so many posts, I am going crazy as wellll!!!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>which one should I buy????</p>
<p>Bio is not an interesting subject (not for me anyway), but reading the Barron's book is really helpful, I scored a 780 with it.</p>
<p>barrons sucks bad.</p>
<p>I studied it really hard and maybe one question that wasn't in the usual test prep books (like Kaplan) appeared on the test. I wouldn't recommend it...it teaches far too much.</p>
<p>BARRONS SUCKS BALLS</p>
<p>seriously. it has wayyyyyyy too much information that you dont need to know for the test. i'd go with something less-hardcore like princeton review. princeton review actually has space where you can take notes and it has BIG PICTURES, which i like. if you think princeton review's too easy, try KAPLAN, because it is a good mix of big pictures and enough information.</p>
<p>dont buy barrons</p>
<p>well if you're planning on studying biology in college, barron's would help you in the long run.</p>
<p>what about the AP study books? Aren't those comprehensive enough for SAT IIs without being as boring as Barrons?</p>
<p>i think that would be a waste of time, because AP and SAT focus on different topics.</p>
