Editorial Reviews: Amazon.com Product Description BioTutor gives students the opportunity to work interactively with the subject of biology. BioTutor promotes higher grades and higher test scores, can decrease the amount of time spent studying, and covers the full curriculum from a typical first or second course in biology at the high school or college level. This software offers a choice of taking a tutorial or a practice chapter test in any one of 20 biology subject areas, or taking a practice semester exam including any combination of the 20 subject areas. A student working through the tutorials within BioTutor is given immediate feedback at each step. This immediate feedback helps to reinforce material from textbooks and classrooms.

However, I did not purchase my BioTutor from amazon. I can not defend GRB that the individuals that rated 5 stars are bogus, but I have to agree with GRB this application software does lack greatly. My son looked at it once and that was it. He uses another biology software, which include videos, graphs, excellent 3D pictures and so on. PS- Too bad there is no such thing as a "no" no star in this place. I have to admit to have something like BioTutor on the market today reminds me of my days when I worked at a company that used command line operating system.....It's like a DOS application. (You know those screen that have blue background and white text). I think the intention behind this program was quick profit...the only thing that is of quality is the box that it comes in. I can not speak the same of their ChemistryTutor, but if GRB states that it has a similar interface than I would not recommened that one either. Buttom Line: Do not purchase this product unless you want to verfiy that what I have stated is correct. Jeffrey Sneeringer March 7, 2006 jeff sneeringer (maine) bio tutor is the best bio helping program sold on the market today. it brought my grade up a full letter grade. i had a c- and then when i started to use this program on my next test i got a A. which at the end of the trimester i had an b-. every one should have this program if they are doing bad in bio and want to improve. mary of boston December 20, 2000 Mary Ann Chirba-martin 10 out of 10 found this review helpful i was very disappointed in this software. although it does help with test taking, it does little in the way of initial presentaion of the material. even the "tutorial mode" is actually more test taking. so, if simply practicing test questions is the goal, this is a great program. but, in terms of allowing a user to learn the material or go beyond the rote delivery of information in school, this software falls far short of of what it promises to do. BioTutor November 20, 2000 RobCaughey (Woodside, CA) 0 out of 1 found this review helpful BioTutor helped me to excel and gave me an advantage over the other students in my class. BioTutor's probing questions and diagrams make a difficult subject easy to understand. BioTutor October 15, 2000 Laurel Van Gemert (Portage, MI) 10 out of 11 found this review helpful "I've been using BioTutor® and it really helps. It's pulled up my grade from a B to an A. The only reason I was getting a B before was because I didn't have very good test scores. However, on my most recent test (on Genetics) I got a 37 out of 35 points (including a 2 point extra credit question) because I had reviewed that chapter in BioTutor®. It's really helpful!" 9th grade biology student, Portage, MI Showing reviews 1-5 of 7 1 2 Next »
