Product Description
Designed for students preparing to take the AP Biology test, this set of 500 flash cards is especially useful when used as a study aid in tandem with Barron’s How to Prepare for the AP Biology (ISBN 0-7641-2498-6). Cards are divided into 19 general categories: Biochemistry, the Cell, Cell Respiration, Photosynthesis, Cell Division, Inheritance, Classification, Evolution, Plants, Nutrition, Transport & Gas Exchange, Excretion, Hormones, Immunology, Nerves & Muscles, Reproduction & Development, Ecology, Animal Behavior, and Lab Review. Important terms and phrases to be memorized appear in bold type or Italics. Although designed primarily as an Advanced Placement test study aid, these flash cards can be profitably used by all biology students.

One of the Two Top Flash Card Products for AP Biology
I agree with another reviewer that this is one of the top two flash card products for AP Biology; the other being AP Biology Flashcard Quicklet: Flashcards in a Book for Biology Students. I have used both and here is my review:
1. This Product: This is very good if you like loose cards. The order of the topics covered is rather random. Some cards are very brief, that is, may be for brevity. You have lot of space on the cards to write. There are enough number of cards. You should have already prepared from a Study Guide before trying these cards.
2. AP Biology Flashcard Quicklet: Flashcards in a Book for Biology Students. This is very good if you like flash cards in a book. The answers to the questions are very comprehensive and self-contained. The topics and cards are presented in a logical order. It's an excellent tool for a quick review if you have already prepared from a Study Guide. Because the cards are self-contained, you can use this book with any study guide or without any atudy guide.

Great Tool to Prepare for the AP Biology Exam
This is a great tool to prepare for the AP Biology Exam, if you like loose cards. If you like flash cards in the book, then I will suggest AP Biology Flashcard Quicklet by Paul Sanghera...I have both of them...and they are great...

 Not recommended
Although the flashcards say that they're best used with Barron's book How to Prepare for AP Biology, I found that they are largely unhelpful even in tandem with the book. (Those hoping to use solely the flashcards would be even more disappointed.) Instead, I would rely on a good review book. The "flashcards" themselves are more like notecards with bulleted information on the back; however, they are oddly organized and are sometimes difficult to understand because of their brevity. Within the nineteen categories, the cards are arranged in a strange order - for example, the "blood" flashcard comes after the flashcards with the components (plasma, RBCs, WBCs) and some cards seem repetitive (there is one called "pathway of blood" that is nearly identical to "human heart", save for a diagram on one). If I had to study again, I would simply purchase the Barron's AP Biology book alone, and not waste money on these.

Covers a lot of information
The flash cards are great for studying but they were not as detailed as I hoped. I like how the cards have a lot of blank space on the back because I am able to add my own notes to it. The pictures are all one color, blue. But overall this product has ALL the key words and even labs!
