I’ve been looking to buy a book about Biology for my daughter, and I seem to have found one now.

Thanks to this post and the comments that have been posted below — I have finally decided to buy the book. Got any affiliate links I could use?

Sorry, but this book is no where near as good for IB Biology as the other option (Study Guide for the IB).

This one (we call it the Tiger textbook) simply has far too much information, in a form that is not concise enough. You have to trawl through to get what you’re looking for. The other one has the syllabus nicely laid out so you know exactly what you have to learn.

Maybe if you want to study medicine and understand the things going on beyond what you need to know, then get this book, otherwise get the more concise Study Guide (probably cheaper too).

Does anyone know if there is a teacher’s book to go with this? I teacher Higher level Biology and I’ve made my own mark schemes for most of the data qs but my students like to see the actual mark schemes to help them understand where they gain or lose marks.

One word to describe this IB textbook

AMAZING

I’m at an IB school in the USA and I use this textbook for Biology, my school loans them to us for a small fee, but I bought my own copy because it’s helpful for at home.

I like the end of chapter questions and the answer section at the back, so I can have a little sneak peak! I hope to get a 7 in the exam and around 36 points in total for my International Baccalaureate!
