<p>Hi, I'm trying to buy a book to help me with AP biology because I haven't learned a lot from my class. I'm deciding to buy Cliffs but I'm trying to decided whether or not to wait for the 4th edition to come out and only have about a month to study or to buy the 3rd edition now. Should I wait for the 4th because it'll be set-up to the new test or just buy the 3rd now and start studying because I haven't learned a lot in my class?</p>
<p>When does the 4th edition come out ?</p>
<p>On Barnes and Nobles it says March 25th and on Amazon it says April 16th. The test is on May 13th.</p>
<p>I would say wait for the 4th edition. Even if it releases a month before the AP exam that is still MORE than enough time to prepare. AP Biology is all about remembering information rather than applying it (at least last year it was) and I, for one, was able to read through the cliffsnotes once and ended up getting a 5 on the exam so I think you are more than capable of doing it in one month(maybe even two days before the exam :p).</p>
<p>Was the cliffs 4th edition book effective? Do you recommend it for the test in 2014?</p>
