Customer Reviews

Helped me ace the MCAT

I took the MCAT about 10 years ago, did very well on it and am now a doctor. I was picking up this book for a friend who is preparing for medical school. I thought this book was great. To prepare, I read this and then I got some old MCAT tests. I took a review course but that felt like a waste of time. I was busy while taking the review course and it felt kind of basic and I didn't have time to study outside the course. The best thing I did was take the summer before the August MCAT and I just spent the whole summer, day after day doing old tests. That, I think, is what did the trick. I would say steer clear of Kaplan and Barrons tests because they tend to be too hard, focusing on minutia that will never be tested and diverting your energy away from material that you actually need. I seem to recall Princeton Review tests were pretty good. But if you can get your hands on old tests, that is the way to go.

Good book

Gives easy to understand reviews of the MCAT subject matter. Some errors in the book. would not recommend using it if you haven't taken the class first. Lack of practice problems is my main objection.

This book is great!

I used Princeton Review's Flowers and Silver to study for the April 1998 MCAT and, although I haven't gotten my scores back, I think I aced the test. The book was an essential tool in my prepping for the MCAT!

Unlike the Kaplan review, this book has several errors.

The organic Chemistry section, a crucial part of the MCAT has missing Hydrogen atoms. If you do not like being confused, I suggest buying the Kaplan MCAT review book.

The Bible of MCAT Prep

This book is all you need to prepare for the MCAT. It has a thorough review of all the science you need to know for the Physical and Biological Sciences portions of the test, plus helpful hints on how to get a high score on the Verbal Reasoning and Essay portions. If you're an idependent learner and agree with me that $1000 for an MCAT prep course is a waste of money, get this book and the companion practice tests and make up your own prep course.
