Hey,

For those who have already taken the DAT and have used Schuams or Cliffs AP Bio, which review book would you recommend? Both are pretty cheap. Is it better to study both books (for those who have used both)? I'm aiming for a 24-25 on the Biology section!!

Thanks!

P.S. I will be using BIO destroyer and possibly the DATqvault as well.

Get both. Each covers some things in more detail that the other. Plus, on the things that both do cover, each presents it from a different perspective.

I have enjoyed reading Barron's more than Cliff's for what its worth.

Barron's has more diagrams if you're a visual learner...but both are really good, I supplemented cliffs with barrons and then added in some kaplan anatomy, like brain, ear, and eye, that wasn't covered in the other two.

Definitely both. Schaum's is really good if you want some more detail. A lot of people don't like it, but I thought it was pretty good myself.

I found myself gravitating towards Schaum's. I like the style of it, and it had good info! 👍

I like Barron cuz it has more diagrams, pics and easier to read.

Cliff is too dry for me.
