This item is required:
Barron's How to Prepare for the AP Biology Advanced Placement Examination (with CD ROM) , Authors: Deborah T. Goldberg

Other information: You can and should look at several AP preparation texts before choosing one; I happen to like this one the best. Find some issue that you know a little about or that confuses you and read the explanations in Barron's, REA, Princeton Review or other AP preparation text, then pick the one that makes the most sense AND has several practice exams.
