The readership of Campbell Biology Campbell Biology is mainly for first-year university students, but it is also an important book for postgraduate medical examinations. Moreover, some high school students may use it as an essential reference book. Although the content may be difficult for high school students, it is suitable for first-year university students. However, the content may be too basic for candidates appearing for post-baccalaureate Chinese medicine and Western medicine examinations. Because of the fierce competition in these examinations, books with much more advanced content are often preferred. Sometimes, the entrance exam questions for the post-baccalaureate medicine department are taken from more professional books, such as those closely related to biochemistry, molecular biology, genetics, or ecology.
