Excellent book April 25, 2009 Alan McCallister 28 out of 28 found this review helpful
Very well-done book... has comprehensive science review with plenty of advice for the writing sample and verbal reasoning sections. The color pages and diagrams are a major improvement over the 2007 ed. They've also gotten rid of the CD in favor of a completely online companion (this is less cumbersome and much better for the environment). The book questions and online questions come with complete, thorough explanations.
One of the best features is that taking their diagnostic test (and full simulation tests) the program tells you specifically what your weaknesses are. Your overall score can be separated into your biological sciences score and physical sciences score. From here, e.g., your biological sciences score is separated into biology and organic chemistry. If you select biology it will list the topics that were tested and the amount of questions you got right out of how many questions touched on that particular topic. From this you know what your specific weaknesses are... such as the function of carbonic anhydrase in the circulatory system.
This is a major improvement over the 2007 ed. and very helpful in terms of having an exhaustive review of all the material on the test.
Excellent For Content and Practice May 24, 2009 Navin N. Singh (Saint Petersburg, FL, USA) 6 out of 6 found this review helpful
This book has the best content review of any book. But because it is 1100 pages, you MUST start reviewing well in advance- at least 2 to 3 months in advance- of your MCAT exam. The content is extensive, you cannot procrastinate. The content review is excellent and comprehensive; practice questions help with developing analytical skills essential for the MCAT. I would recommend buying the AAMC 8 Practice Tests after completing this mostly content based book. Use this book for content.
