## What is AP Biology Exam Review?

Do you feel unprepared for your AP Bio exam?? Improve your AP Biology knowledge FASTER than with any other app on iTunes. Applying the latest in cognitive science techniques, AP Biology Exam Review by Next Step Test Prep will help you efficiently learn over 740 dynamic AP biology flashcards. It's the perfect study supplement! 

Brainscape has embarked on setting the highest standard for AP prep in the mobile community by partnering with Next Step Test Prep. The idea is to mesh the complete College Board outline of material with clear explanations in a streamlined adaptive flashcard software, so you can study as efficiently as possible.  The adaptive platform lets you immediately diagnose weak areas (which will repeat more frequently as you study) and avoid over-studying already strong areas (which will be sorted out for you). It also tracks your overall success throughout. This won't completely replace your books -- indeed, we still recommend doing practice problems separately -- but it's the mobile prep tool you've been waiting for.  
 
AP Biology Exam Review includes: 

-745 adaptive flashcards with in-depth coverage of AP Biology
- Organization mirroring the College Board's subdivision of topics
- An expert-designed tiered system, which progressively tests each topic from simple definitions to the most complex examples and applications
- Brainscape's famous Confidence-Based Repetition (CBR) algorithm that dratically improves learning speed and retention
- Convenient "browse" and "search" functions to allow you to quick locate specific cards and topicss
- Ongoing feedback, statistics, and visualization tools to help you track your progress
- Check the leaderboard to see who's studying the most!
   
Spread the good word, and hit us up with stars as your score starts climbing!

### 1/5 — this app is genuinely terrible

*2025-10-01*

You have to pay at least 20 dollars in order to get ANY content besides evolution. Why would i want that? The apps layout is so incredibly stupid and it’s super glitchy. DEFINITELY not even worth the time downloading it. Save your time and money. If i could leave LESS than one star i would.

### 1/5 — Terrible terrible terrible!

*2021-11-03*

I’m in search of free apps to assist me with AP Bio yet Brainscape has to be greedy and make people pay money for literally EVERYTHING, do you guys wanna help students at all????????

### 2/5 — Easy to use but generic

*2021-03-24*

As a former AP Biology teacher, it is clear that these flash cards are not aligned to the AP Bio exam, especially the version established in 2020. Much of the content included is not on the exam and is generic. There is also no information on the AP Biology skills, which are necessary to succeed on the exam. The flash cards won’t hurt to study, but they probably won’t help much either.

### 3/5 — Read

*2021-02-28*

Would be 100 times better if read the flash cards 2 you.

### 1/5 — Too expensive

*2020-11-14*

Want you to buy everything

### 1/5 — Didn’t even let me create an account 🤷‍♀️

*2020-05-17*

I don’t write reviews but like it didn’t let me create an account because my password didn’t have the requirements when clearly it did it had a O and 379:) at the end those are all which are applyable but no it said I needed to use up case and other keys when clearly I already had it on my password.

### 1/5 — Save your money and buy index cards!

*2020-05-05*

I purchased this app for $20 because it said i could create my own flashcards. After paying for it and spending an hour creating a deck, it said I couldn’t study the deck with all the features (shuffle and reverse) without upgrading to a monthly subscription!!! On top of that, the questions on the AP Bio are extremely generic and unusable on their own.  I am irate!!! Save your money and just buy index cards!!! 🤬

### 5/5 — Good

*2019-12-28*

Love it helps me learn

### 1/5 — RIPPPPP OFFFFFF

*2019-03-14*

THIS APP SUCKSSSSSSS :((((((((((((((((((((((
DO NOT FALL FOR TRAP

### 1/5 — Rip off

*2018-02-19*

Where's the practice test?
