I liked REA and Biology Smart. I have also read good things about the IC flashcards.

For some people, it has been a tricky exam to pass.

Here is my feedback:

I second NAP's advice- my favorite resource was Biology Smart by Debbie Guest. I think it's a great book to start with. The Standard Deviants videos are great, too. The IC flash cards are good for reinforcement, and you can gauge your readiness with practice exams from Peterson's and the Official CLEP Study Guide. Also, don't forget about the Specific Exam Feedback section- there are a lot of helpful hints there. Hope this helps & good luck!

A site I found helpful for not only Biology but Chemistry, Algebra, Finance, etc. is below.
There are hundreds of videos on every science subject imaginable.

I liked Hippocampus - AP biology, just know that the cell respiration and photosynthesis sections, they are in too much detail, the biology test is not that in depth.

My feedback is somewhere around here on the forum. I used a somewhat unknown resource - the AP Flashcards. They were REALLY helpful and covered anything and everything that might come up on the exam. Having a broad, yet detailed, overview is the key to this test. Good luck!
