If you are a student looking for a concise overview of an AP Biology course, this book does a good job of reviewing only those concepts being tested on the redesigned exam. It seems as though the authors actually looked at the learning objectives and essential knowledge statements and aligned their writing accordingly, unlike other review guides I have seen available. The book is written in outline format, which adds to its brevity and makes reviewing a bit easier. I also liked that the authors give students a brief summary of the science practices and examples of things that they might be asked about with regard to the science practices. At the beginning of the book there is a section that explains the types of questions that now populate the exam including grid-in questions that require calculation, which some students may not have ever had practice with. The authors also discuss the format and timing of the new exam, which I think is helpful for students to be aware of.
The only reason I give this book 3 stars is that there are no practice questions within. Most students are looking for a review guide that not only provides them a review of the material they've learned, but that also gives them a chance to practice with questions modeled after those like the ones that might appear on the exam.
EDITED: Previously, I had stated the access code within the book was good for a one-use access to a practice exam. A representative of REA contacted me with a clarification: "After redeeming the access code, the practice material is added to the student's account, and can be accessed as many times the student desires." So students can access the exam as many times as they like after an account has been established.
