For those of you who need to brush up on your biology, either for a course or to take an entrance exam -- I wanted to let everyone know that The Teaching Company has their Biology course on sale. I own this course, and it is fabulous. When I was studying for the Hesi, it really helped me understand DNA transcription/translation. Beyond that, it really does cover most of the topics of a first-year biology course.
Even on sale, it's pricey ($179), but if you can afford it and want to do some review during your winter break, you might want to check it out. (Or look for it on eBay or Amazon.) Also, I can recommend their high school chemistry review course (much cheaper, too).
I think they have free shipping until December 15 on orders over $150. Here's the link to the course.

Again, I know not everyone can afford it or will be interested. But I thought I would post it for anyone who's feeling a bit shaky about their biology skills and who is considering various options. The professor who does the DVD lectures is really, really good.
