Do you guys think it's possible to get 20+ on Bio just by studying Cliffs Bio??
if not, what do you think is the best material?
I like to master just one book.. and be able to score 20+..

I have Kaplan and Cliffs.. and have heard Barrons is a joke and Destroyer is overkill so here's my opinon.

Kaplan doesn't cover biology in enough detail.

Get Cliffs. I haven't taken the DAT yet but it is teaching me A LOT. I mean I cross refrences every word of that book with wikipedia and youtube videos for the big stuff just so I make sure I don't miss anything but.. Cliffs is good.

Can you get a 20? Probably, but that's not my place to say. If you want a 20 you should probably make every resource available to you.. I plan on going into destroyer once I am reciting Cliffs & Kaplan in my sleep.

But the best single biology resource? Cliffs.

Good luck. 👍

You SHOULD be able to get over 20 with cliff and kaplan

I managed a 20+ on bio, spent most of my time studying for bio in fact. I did buy cliffs AP bio flashcards (might not be what you're talking about?) a couple of days before the exam, but I would say I spent the majority of my time looking back and forth between the Kaplan Blue Book and my Bio textbook. Obviously the Kaplan eliminates excess material from consideration, but the textbook actually "teaches" the material.

Basically, for me, it was a question of whether I wanted to study too much or too little. As long as you start studying early enough and budget your time wisely, you won't regret studying too much once the score screen appears.

Already taken the DAT so...
+1 as prsndwg said, Kaplan and Cliffs YES! but I couldn't have brought it big time without Destroyer 🙂 It's your call.

The CliffNotes AP Biology review book is the one I got and the one everyone is referring to.

you're the best, thanks so much! i just ordered it online.

If you can, I'd sugget getting the flashcards that go with the book. They're great for a quick review in between classes or something of the sort. They also sell additional AP practice exams which would give you access to more biology questions..

You can usually get them at Borders, Barnes&Noble, or any other bookstore like that. Try Amazon as well; they may sell it for a cheaper price there.

I got mine from Amazon. You can get the flashcards for like $10 on there. You can get the Cliffs AP book itself for only $3 and then the extra 5 AP biology tests are $7.50. You can't get a better value than that.

Alright do flashcards really help?

Kaplan BB and Cliffs works wonders. I used Shaum's outline as well but I found it to be overkill but still helpful.

For me, Kaplan + wikipedia (no cliffs). And I got over 20 in bio.
