Who's taking Bio in May?

<p>Hello! If you are taking bio on may 1st, then please post some last minute advice, questions, or whatever.</p>

<p>Good luck to you all!!</p>

<p>Which text books are you using? How are they?</p>

<p>I used:</p>

<p>PR - explanations are understandable, easy to read, great diagrams and pictures, possibly not enough content though (or not in depth enough)</p>

<p>Kaplan - hard to understand, not easy to read, little pictures, dense information, but a lot of information. Not using this one too much, because it's hard to get through it all. but the evolution chapter is great IMO. </p>

<p>Sparknotes tests - great for fast review for questions that are constantly tested.</p>

<p>barron’s: started cramming with this book yesterday(finished reading chapters, did practice test 1), pretty good overall, but theres some seemingly unnecessary information (using microscope, global warming…etc)
PR: dunno, plan to cram with it thursday+friday
cliffs(for ap): been using this book for a while, very useful, includes most of the concepts in barrons + more detail.</p>

<p>last minute cramming works</p>

<p>Wish I had Cliffs. Was considering buying but I already bought other books and I would’ve felt bad about using parents money to buy an obscene amount of books for a single test.</p>

<p>Kraplan… used it today… soo much information… most of it is useless… it actually is pretty good but it’s boring, dense, and goes too deep, like deep analysis of respiration in a grasshopper, hydra, and earthworm, great. What next, the menstrual cycle in Panda Bears? I don’t actually hate it, but you gotta complain cuz you can barely read it, lol.</p>

<p>D is taking it and has used princeton review and seems to like it</p>
