McAt Physics Book

Summary: looking for a copy!!!
Review: Absolute best in MCAT physics prep. It really put the Kaplan book to shame. ~50+ questions / chapter, half of which are near MCAT in style and difficulty. I trully believe that every last conceptual MCAT question is covered in this book. 10-15 page descriptions of each subject followed by several pages means you get it right even if physics is not your expertise. My experience in physics is only based on an accelerated summer course... so I definitely needed the help. The author is very clear and breaks down each subject into obvious/common sense approaches. The writing is very basic and easy to follow, but I definitely took guilty pleasure in the joke passages that were in every chapter. I guess Biehle has to have a sense of humor considering he got a doctorate in physics (the laughter hides the crying, I understand Biehle).

If you read this book from cover to cover and do all the questions, there is no way you can get less than a 85% of the physics questions on your physical sciences.

Summary: This book helped me double my MCAT score!
Review: By using this book, I doubled my MCAT physcial sciences score from 5 to 10, with a 34S overall. This book is very thorough, but not boring. It is very helpful, even if physics terrfies you. The comfortable writing style helps you get over your fears and allows you to learn a lot. I can't recomend this book highly enough. The text is easy to read and understand, and the questions are the best out there for MCAT physics review. Buy this book early and give yourself time to work through it -- you will end up feeling very comfortable in the physical sciences test. I wish the author would write a similar book for every other MCAT subject, but I guess we can't get everything that we want!

Review: I've been trying to find a copy of this book online, but haven't had much luck. apparently it won't come until august if i get it from amazon, which isn't much help since i need it to study for the august mcat. if anyone has a copy i can buy off of them, please let me know. thanks!!! my email addy is [e-mail]

Summary: MCAT Physics Book
Review: I've never taken a physics class in my life, and I smoked the physical sciences section. Everything (physics-related) on the test, except for two of the seventy-seven questions, was covered in this book. If you take the time to read a chapter a week and do the practice problems starting in January, you'll be set for the MCAT in April. Best of luck!

Summary: The BEST MCAT physics book
Review: If physics has always been a difficult subject for you, this is the book for you! This book helped me conquer the MCAT physics section. The book provides the most interesting analogies and gives true-to-the-real MCAT examples. Buy the book and get a serious edge over the competition.

Summary: A Good Start
Review: Nova's Physics Book is one of their three book The MCAT series. It is a great starting point for someone who has forgotten a lot of physics or who needs to build up his/her physics confidence. The book presents the more basic physical concepts and finishes each chapter with a quiz. The questions include passages, series of problems, and individual, stand-alone questions. They are similar to, though perhaps easier than, the MCAT.

If you've already got your physics down and want to practice for the MCAT, this book is not for you. If you feel like you're not ready to attack the MCAT practice test yet, this book will help you understand the physics portion.

Summary: A Great Start!
Review: This book provides a fairly comprehensive overview of the physics you'll need for the MCAT with easy to read and digest chapters (not just formulas - real physics) and 50+ practice problems for each section. The questions don't reflect the MCAT format, but they will drill in the relationships you'll need to know and help you remember the basic formulae for the exam. I'd look at a real MCAT test after starting here.

Summary: Excellent Physics Preparation
Review: This is a truely impressive review book - much, much better than the very boring Kaplan materials. I'm amazed that the author put so much effort into creating such an intuitive guide for us pre-meds. I highly recommend this book for anyone needing a review of physics for the MCAT and any undergraduates or high school students taking physics. It really goes beyond expectations for test prep!!!!
