Good, but need to iron out the kinks
They need to do a better job at displaying the graphs in the answer key. They describe it and I would rather have it drawn out so I can show it to my students instead of talking it out. They also need to do a better job of explains the math equations; especially for the graphs. I had to ask another teacher and they could not figure it out.

Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2018
This book is amazing. Took the HL IB biology exam this year and was afraid that this book wouldn't prepare me well enough because its an older edition but boy was I wrong. It covered all the material that was on the exam and even provided the specific studies that were mentioned on the exam too. It's the perfect review book in my opinion. Covers SL material and goes more in depth towards the end to cover the HL topics too. Definitely does not teach any concepts (no explantation). A great book for review but not necessarily re- learning things. The material is very concise and gets straight to the point with a few practice problems at the end of each chapter to help lock in what you just learned. My only regret was that I didn't get to finish the entire book before taking the exam so make sure you give yourself some time prior so you can go through this entire thing!!

A gift for someone.
Reviewed in the United States on October 3, 2015
I'm a parent and bought this book because my kid was struggling to transition to the IB way of testing i.e. not just finding the answer on a multiple choice sheet like the AP classes she previously had taken. Her first quiz in IB Bio HL she got a 50!

I bought this book for her and she loved the concise way the information is summarized and felt it really helped supplement what they were learning in class. She put in a lot of time and effort and made a 100 on her next quiz and a 96 on her first unit test. So I would say this is a very helpful book.

Really condenses the material down which is a huge help considering there is such a vast amount to understand and memorize for the HL Biology exam. If you've been diligent throughout the course work already, going through this starting about a month or so before the exam will be invaluable. I felt pretty confident about my exam thanks to this guide.

This is a lifesaver for IB bio. Every topic and sub topic is nicely condensed into one page little reads with the needed diagrams and facts. Will be perfect for studying for the final exams. Slightly thinner than the actual bio text.
