What's the difference? Help PLZ!!! Cliffs AP Bio!!!

<p>I am going to take AP biology. Some kind guys on CC recommended a book called cliffs AP biology. But when I searched Amazon, I found this book and another one called CliffsNotes AP Biology. I am really confused. What's the difference between two books. Cliffs or CliffsNotes? Which one is generally used and highly recommended?</p>

<p>I think they are the same. I have the cliffs AP Bio one.</p>

<p>Have a nice day</p>

<p>Hey. Chill. They’re the same. Cliffs is short for Cliffsnotes.</p>

<p>Amazon has the 3rd edition of this book described as “Cliffs AP Biology”.</p>

<p>The 3rd edition with the CD is described as "CliffsNotes AP Biology. The CD includes 4 bonus exams plus a searchable PDF of the book’s contents.</p>

<p>The 4th edition of this book is coming out in March, and I don’t believe there will be a CD version with this new edition.</p>

<p>Don’t get the 3rd edition!!! It’s outdated because CB is updating the exam this year. Wait for the 4th edition to come out!</p>

<p>Any idea how big the changes are going to be? Have any study guides come out yet that reflect the updates?</p>

<p>Collegeboard’s website has a lot of info on the changes to AP bio.
Princeton Review’s is already out. Barron’s and Cliffs are not out yet.</p>
