For flashcards, they are surprisingly quite detailed. Had I studied these cards more thoroughly (but didn't because there were too many to do on such short time) I probably would've received a higher AP score. I truly recommend this for someone who doesn't really "get" Biology and is not a science person. It's very succinct and to the point. A really great way to test yourself when you don't have a study buddy.
Due to the fact that the AP Biology exam will be changing this year, it's hard to actually know what will be on the exam. I uderstand that AP Biology is an extremely lengthy course that has a lot of terms and concepts that you need to memorize, but that is no excuse for the flashcards to leave some topics out. I expected at least one flashcard for each of the chapters, perhaps a summary, but that was not the case. That being said, it is a great study tool, but lacks chapters like the ones covering Fungi, Gene Regulation and Expression, and Embryonic Development. Don't let this discourage you from buying. At the price they're at, they really are a good deal. The topics missing can easily be covered in review books and notes taken from class. Packaging was not a problem. They arrived when expected.
They are great reviews before tests and have actually taught me a few concepts that i had trouble understanding. Everything i need to cover are on the cards. Very organized and portable(for cheating, just kidding). Worth it!
Cards arrived super fast, covered every topic possible for the AP bio exam, went in depth, yet were displayed an organized in a manageable fashion. Great Buy!
For those who are looking for an extensive vocabulary on AP Biology with viable practice value, this is not for you. Every definition simply skims the surface of each significant subject and of those that are useful, there aren't many. I would say that this could be helpful during the early stages of studying or during the school year, however, for the regular AP student who needs to cram, this is just a waste of time. The Kaplan or Barron book review is much more helpful than this.
this is totally worth it since i have no time to write flashcards. it literally covers everything even the same examples form the book i use as if it was written specifically for my book though im sure its not. Honestly, if you are in AP bio, whether you have an A in the class or an F, buy this you wont regret it!
I am an AP Biology teacher and I keep several boxes of these in my classroom for student use. They are very thorough/descriptive and the students like using them. The only downfall is that they have not been updated to reflect the new AP Bio curriculum (2013), so some cards are unnecessary. I had to go through each box to pull out cards that are no longer relevant/covered in the current standards.
My daughter had been struggling through AP Biology and before she took the official AP test, we decided that some hard studying time was necessary. Purchased both the book and flashcards.Materials that were not covered in class were made clear and information that was presented in a "confusing way" during class time was re-presented in a concise easy to follow manner.Our recommendation is to get both the 4th Edition book and the flashcards either early in the school year or the summer before so your student will not feel lost or fall behind when unfamiliar terms and sequences are presented.Well worth the investment considering that AP testing has changed and one high school test can allow your student to skip that course in college therefore saving hundreds of dollars.The practice questions were the perfect reinforcement and flashcards are a quick daily study that keeps the subject familiar.Make sure you emphasize to your student the daily need for the flashcards. Even a few a day, will make a great difference.500 flash cards covers 20 general categories: Biochemistry, the Cell, Cell Respiration, Photosynthesis, Cell Division, Heredity, Molecular Genetics,, Classification, Evolution, Plants, Nutrition, Transport, Excretion, Hormones, Immunology, Nerves & Muscles, Reproduction & Development, Ecology, Animal Behavior, and Lab. Important terms and phrases that students are advised to memorize appear in bold type or italics.
