I have the Barron's AP Bio review book but noticed a lot of study guide say to use Cliff's. Is Barron's okay or should I purchase Cliff's and use that?

You can get cliffs for free as a PDF

Or get some couch mooney and buy it for less than $5 on eBay

I say use both

Cliffs is more detailed to the right degree based on the reviews

use Cliffs, I tried both. While Barron is "easier to read" (not really, just less important and detailed explanations, which makes it simpler to read), Cliffs prepares you much better. There were many things Barron didn't cover that Cliffs actually covered.

I used both, kaplan, and Feralis's notes. After I read all of them, I started doing destroyer. It's a lot of material so multiple sources help. I'm doing destroyer a second time now, and I just got 45/49 right.

Yes Cliffs is good for information and as shyfox9p is saying, however Destroyer is great for the questions and has a ton of info, both are MUST HAVES but if you are low on time I would much rather look at the destroyer.

Cliffs is good, and packed with details, but a bit dry to read though!

Start with Barron's. Then use Cliff's.
