How to Prepare for the MCAT

Rating:
Summary: This Book is an Utter Waste
Review: I would strongly recommend that you NOT buy this book. It's an utter waste of time. The biology review section is hardly comprehendable, and concentrates on such minute and ridiculous details that it's far more frustrating than productive to read. The organic chem review section is a joke, and is only a few pages long. The practice tests have questions that are not representative of those appearing on the actual exam. The only section in the pratice exams that MIGHT be remotely useful is the verbal section. But even here, while the passasges are okay, the questions are not very representative of those on the actual exam. With horrible review sections and practice tests that are even worse, this book is a complete waste of your money. I got duped into buying it becasue the price was so much lower than the price on other review books. Now I know why. You'd be much better off paying the ~$50 for the Kaplan MCAT review boook, which is far more comprehensive and useful.

Summary: If you want to do well on the MCAT, DO NOT buy this book!
Review: This book is a complete waste of time and money. The review section is way too general, and the four "model" examinations are both too easy and do not accurately reflect the actual content of the real exam. For example in the biological sciences sections, there were no organic chemistry questions at all, but instead an overwhelming majority of questions about human physiology. Anyone planning to take the MCAT would be better served by buying A) the released MCAT tests available from the AAMC and B) a better review book like Kaplan.

Summary: Save your money
Review: This book is very, very out of date. Don't waste your time or your money. The exams also have a wierd different format. Invest in Exam krackers, Kaplan or Princeton.
