Summary: I passed Bio because of this DVD!
Comment: Admittedly, this is not the most entertaining movie out there, but if you're watching a DVD called "Learn Biology", entertainment is not primarily what you're after, right?
I watched this movie as the base of my studying to pass a Biology placement test for my return to college. I was not looking for entertainment...I was looking for a video that would CRAM a semester's worth of general biology into my head in two weeks.
And that it did! I passed the placement test with apparently the highest score they've seen in a long time and am now heading to Anatomy & Physiology next semester. I was actually asked, "Are you already in the health or science fields? No? Then how did you get such a high score?" ***grin*** I didn't share my secret with them, but I am sharing it with you.
I watched the DVD, paused it constantly and took notes. Then I watched it again. And again. No, not the most exciting thing, but I achieved my goal of testing out of General Bio, and that was what I needed this DVD for.
I must admit that a better title for this DVD may be "Learn CELLULAR Biology" as that is all it focuses on. There is no discussion of the other aspects of Bio, like Evolution, Ecology, etc. But it does give a very thorough explanation of pretty much all facets of Cell Biology.
It's a great addition to anyone's efforts to learn biology, and I highly recommend it for its educational value!

Summary: Very Useful for Internation Student
Comment: I am planing for an MBA and need to take 2 tests, GMAT and TOEFL. As an international student, I always have problem understanding the reading comprehention passages, especially the terminology in science. I never have any experience in an English speaking classroom in my Bachelor degree. So this type of educational series is the best I ever come across. I don't need to know every single details, but I need the basic understanding of Biology.
In my opinion, this Biology DVD is better than a high school classroom in my country. Of course, it's just 1-2 hours lesson, you can't condense every bit of details. But, for it's purpose, it does an exellent job. If you need details, you can buy text book and study from it. This DVD is a supplement, not a replacement.
I used to spend hundreds of hours over 3 dictionaries and 3 encyclopedias, trying to find the passages I am reading on the GMAT, but I still understood only 35%. This DVD really helps me understand Biology much better. Sometime, you don't feel like you are studying, they use technique that keep you awakening, laughing and wondering what is next. The songs, graphic, funny stories they use fit very well together. Moreover, you can imagine spending hours reading text that explain the cell cycle, but you can watch this DVD for minutes and get the same understanding of the process in much shorter time. For more information about the contents of this DVD, you can go to www.sdlearn.com/category_s/94.htm or to be specific for Biology go to www.sdlearn.com/inserts/BiologyCard.pdf
I also ordered more products from Standard Deviants. I hope there are more companies produce this kind of product in the future.

Summary: Wonderful DVD, helpful for AP biology
Comment: This is a fun way to learn some topics in biology. The visual technique is excellent for helping me to memorize important topics into my brain. It's a good reference for AP Biology. However, I would not only use this as the primary source. I also used Biology by Raven's and for great test-like questions, I used
The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology: Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations
Volume 1 isbn; 1933023007
Volume 2 isbn: 1933023015
Volume 3 isbn: 1933023023
These three study guides had similar questions to the AP exam. Raven' Biology is also needed because this helped me to build my foundation of knowledge in biology for the AP Biology Exam.

Summary: Informative
Comment: This is a great intro to cells and cell structure. However, if you are using this for CLEP, be mindful that this tape covers only a relatively small portion of what is covered on the CLEP biology test.

Summary: Order It At Once!
Comment: This is a MUST for anyone who is struggling to pass a Bio test. I can tell you it was a deciding factor allowing me to pass my Bio Clep test last month. It is supremely entertaining and covers key areas. I found that its focus on DNA and RNA were particularly key for questions I later encountered on the test. I would also recommend Jack Rudman's Biology review, REA's Problem Solvers book in Biology, and the Online Biology Book at

Voila! That is my formula - along with prayers - for passing the Bio test. Study hard.
