2.0 out of 5 stars Came with water damage
Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2010
Verified Purchase
In the product description, it said 'new'. Ahhh....Not so much. :P

A large watermark starts on the first few pages and had spread to the back cover, apparently; I know it's not the fault of the post office because the box it arrived in was perfectly dry, though obviously aged.

Not sure what happened, but it obviously never dried completely out and is a little gross. I might end up asking for a return on this product.

Not satisfied...

3.0 out of 5 stars The Book Cover Only the Basics
Reviewed in the United States on February 1, 2002
I took the test recently and I only chose this book to study from. The only reason I chose this book because based on the ratings given by the raters at Amazon.com. I came to be disappointed by the results, because most of the responses were not fairly accurate from what I see.
The book first of all does touch most of the basics and topics of the ideas but it does not help you eliminate most of the answers. I was able to complete half the test fairly okay but the other half I could not comprehend because the topics were explained very briefly. The vocabulary covered such as speciation was covered in the book, but it still lacked vocabulary that I did not know.
Another dissappointing thing about the topic was that it did not cover the anatomy of the ear which was covered on the test. Also, the pictures in the book were confusing. The pictures were totally different from the real SAT II that could throw people off. Finally, the test questions were not fairly accurate because it was too simple in comparison to the real test. The book is only great study tool if you combine with another book to study from.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but lacking
Reviewed in the United States on January 15, 2004
Well I've taken the test and I did fairly well, a 740, decent, but not great. However I managed to go through about 3/4 of this book and finished the rest later just for the heck of it. So here's essentially the basis of this book. First the sections give you generally accurate information and provide you with practice sets and questions after each section. However, though most sections cover 80-100 percent of the needed SAT II information there are some key lacking points. Firs the ear and eyes are not covered. And let me tell you this: THERE IS ALMOST ALWAYS A QUESTION ON THEM! Yes two tests in a row there have been questions on the eyes and ears, hm... Also genetics is a bit brief, while evolution is simply great. Also let me note that the SAT II had fewer molecular questions in general in the regular exam part, then analysis and organism biology. So using this with the Kaplan book, and studying will likely get you at least a 750-800 depending on study time.

5.0 out of 5 stars THIS BOOK IS GREAT
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2002
This book really really prepares you to take the SAT II Biology test
I missed the SAT II test once so I had to take it after the summer vacation ended...I didn't study for the SAT II Bio until the day before the test and benefited a lot from this book
And I still got a really good grade in 2 hours of studying Biology before the test
The back sample SAT II Bio test is really great...I think it's almost like the real SAT II!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Too dull...
Reviewed in the United States on May 23, 2003
This is really boring. The topics are presented in a really messy way, with way too many diagrams. Stick with the Barrons book. That one made me want to study.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good overall review
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2001
This book provides an excellent overall review. However it is very simplistic and does not cover some things in depth. I prefer the more in depth Kaplan book, but some people find the layout of the Princeton to be easier to read. Currently this is the 2nd best SAT II book available after the Kaplan.
