Book Reviews of Biology (CliffsStudySolver)

Book Review: Good review for Praxis II Biology Content Knowledge Exam
Summary: 4 Stars

I used this book along with the Campbell, Reese, and Mitchell Biology textbook to prepare for the Praxis II Biology Content Knowledge Exam (0235). I was able to pass the exam with an excellent score using these two resources.

This book helped me to review the key information I needed for the test. The questions in this book are about as challenging as most questions on the Praxis, although there were a few more challenging questions that I would not have gotten right if I hadn't also studied the Campbell text.
