I used Schaum's and found it very helpful and very in depth, but a week is probably not long enough for this book. I believe the Cliff's AP bio book is layed out in a more concise format that will probably be easier to use since you only have a week to review bio.

Cliff's AP Biology
 
Schaum's is pretty dense. It's a deceivingly small book, but the letters are like fine print with very few pictures and closely packed paragraphs. If you only have a week to review everything, then try the Cliffs quickreview. If you are trying to brush up on certain areas, Schaum's would be right on the money.
 
I used Cliff's. Worked very well for me at least because I remembered a great deal from my undergraduate study and Cliff's just help bring that knowledge back.
