Good...if you extremely dislike biology in the first place
By A Customer
This book is one of those "fun books" where the author cracks jokes to make the material easily digestable. I have complains about the lack of details and mistakes. In page 42, the author shows a diagram of a phospholipid and labels the head hydrophobic, when the head is actually hydrophillic. A student who did not know this to begin w/ will be confused. Also, the lack of details make it hard for me to absorb the process. Even if its not on the test, how am i suppose to undersatnd DNA Replication if theres no detail on it! "Cells take advantange of [complimentary] rule when copying DNA--a process called replication, which is just a scientist's fancy name for copying. During DNA replcation, the two strands come apart and new nucleotides are matched up with each old strand according to the matching rules." What? The author fails to define old + new DNA as semiconservative replication or what unwinds DNA (helicase) or the enzyme that replcates DNA (DNA Polymerase). I'm taking the SAT in June and currently I'm using Biology Cliffs AP, which is easy to understand and comprehensive. I will use the Dummiesbook only for the practice test, which I think are adequate. I can't seem to trust this book's summary, however, because of the mistakes and the lack of details.

An entertaining romp through the science of life on this earth
By Bill Thoms
It is 2005 and the Kansas Department of Higher Education is once again debating the teaching of evolution in the public schools. Boycotted by most, if not all, proponents of natural selection, the main thrust of the legislative testimony was in favor of a concept called "intelligent design." Once again, as in the famous Scopes "monkey trial" of 1921, the writings of Charles Darwin, particularly on his "The Origin of Species" are inspiring a political firestorm. (Nearly forgotten is the work of Alfred Russell Wallace, from whom Darwin lifted most, if not all, of his world-wrenching work).
Intelligent design may be a hot item in Topeka, but it won't get you far on the SAT II. The Hatches approach the whole study of evolution and natural selection with an intelligent, clear focus. To quote their work: "It seems weird to think that all life on earth evolved from the same basic, simple cells so long ago. Darwin made an amazing claim when he said that all life on earth is fundamentally related, so scientists have needed some strong evidence to be convinced." From there they go into a step-by-step explanation of evolutionary thought, including an easy-to-understand comparison of Lamarck's theory of acquired characteristics, and the contrasting Darwin-Wallace work on natural selection.
The treatment of evolution is typical of the clear and journalistic style of the Hatches' approach to scientific thought. The book in question is a review text called "SAT II Biology for Dummies". In contrast to the catchy title, the book is really designed for the intelligent high school student who is undertaking a systematic preparation for the Biology examination of the Scholastic Achievement Test (SATII)
The reason for this volume is the emergence of a new test program, which actually is two tests based on high school biology. The two tests, named E and M, have different emphases The E test includes evolution and ecology, dealing with the environment in which organisms live and function. The M test is concerned with cells, genetics, and heredity. There is also a key biological core common to both tests. That information is helpful whichever version of the test the student picks.
Part I of the book deals with test-taking strategies, how to avoid wild guesses, and how to get yourself in a good positive psyche for facing this ordeal. Part II deals with the fundamentals of biology, starting, as nature does, with the individual cell. The book then proceeds to biochemistry and molecular biology. How organisms eat and breathe is covered in the chapter entitled "Getting Energized: Respiration and Photosynthesis." From there we move to DNA and proteins, and finally the continuation of the organism through sexual and asexual reproduction.
Part III, the most complex section, deals with the above-mentioned concepts of evolution, the classification of plants and animals (taxonomy--supposedly Adam's first job was to name the animals) . The cycle of life and interaction with the environment are described in the chapter on Ecology.
Part IV is all about organism biology, the structures of plants and animals (botany and zoology). Chapter 14 deals with the complex systems that make up the physiology of animal bodies, including our own, and the final chapter is whimsically named, "Dating and Behaving: Animal Behavior and Reproduction."
WHEW! Between two covers the Hatches have managed to cover the explosive, expanding world of biology and do it in an interesting, informative, and entertaining manner. Their pedagogical method is the same as in their other SAT II books: they present the information, explain how it works, and then show possible questions immediately after explaining the material. In that way, students learn the test design as they learn the substantive material.
Oh, yes...the last section of the book is practice tests, enough to satisfy curiosity and build confidence at the same time. It also gives instructions for reproducing test-taking conditions when performing these practice books.
Scott and Lisa Hatch are experienced teachers (he in law, she in English) who have for over 20 years, through the Center for Legal Studies in Golden, Colorado, excelled in preparing students for standardized tests, including bar examinations, graduate and professional school admissions, and, of course SAT. They bring this experience to the SAT II volumes they have authored (including biology) with the humor that comes with interaction with students of the MTV and post-MTV generations. Studying biology, after all, is the study of life, and life is nothing if not humorous. You will find that this book takes what could be an odious chore and makes it an entertaining romp through the science of life on this earth.

fantastic reference bio book
By stellarstar
Thanks for writing this book. This is a useful reference for preparing for SAT II Biology. The ecology section I especially liked. I also found useful, The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: key review quesions and answers with explanations. This had really good review questions.
Also I found useful,Campbell's Biology. This text was hard sometimes to read but definitely worth the effort.
