Product Description |
| The MCAT as it is now given is a solely computer-based exam, and Barron's brand-new edition of the MCAT manual offers test preparation that is specifically focused to respond to that format. The manual's introduction presents a detailed overview of the test, and follows with strategies for study, stress management, and test taking. The bulk of this book is given over to extensive reviews in science and math, followed by advice on writing the MCAT essay. Four full-length model MCATs are then presented with answer keys and answer explanations. |

 Not the best prep material... |
| Review Date: February 14, 2009 |
| Reviewer: Alex Drake, |
| This has very in depth explanations on certain stuff, but then it will just go by quickly on other things that are fairly important. It's Verbal Reasoning sections on the tests are easy reads, but sometimes tricky questions (not like the MCAT). It is a good deal for the money. I would only use it as a review of all the material once you have already learned everything. Do not try to use this if you are just starting your studying. |
Waste of money

| Reviewer: Scott Holmstrom, |
I've never even posted a review in 12 or so years of being an Amazon customer but this book desperately needs one. I wish someone had reviewed it before I bought it.
Avoid this book at all costs; even if you're already scoring in the high 30s and have used every other resource. It will only serve to confuse you and dilute the already massive amount of material you're expected to know.
The questions in this book are nothing like the questions on the AAMC (real) tests. The material review completely misses the mark; you are not expected to know detailed cellular biology of the tooth. Orgo of alkynes, something that was specifically removed from the MCAT this year, shows up in this book as well. Quadratic equations! mechanical advantage!! Lazzaro Spallanzani!!! I'm not making this stuff up. I don't think the authors bothered to look at the outline of material a test-taker is supposed to know (which is, btw, available directly from AAMC ... just google "MCAT topics AAMC").
SAVE YOUR MONEY. |
DO NOT Buy This Book

| Reviewer: Joshua Feblowitz, Boston, MA United States |
This book is a complete waste of both time and money. It is quite obvious that the editors barely even glanced at an actual MCAT exam when writing it. The review covers a lot of advanced, excessively detailed or off-topic material and the "model" exams (especially the passages) do not even come close to simulating actual exams. Using this book will only confuse you and prevent you from adequately preparing for the exam.
I'd recommend the Examkrackers complete study package as well as purchasing a few real practice exams from the AMCAS website.

| I didn't use the book for review, only for practice exams. The questions are either ridiculously easy, or totally confusing and almost impossible to answer. The physical and biological science sections, you didn't even need to read the passages to answer most of the questions because they were straight recall questions. Verbal was the most confusing, they were either ridiculously easy or had no real answer. I wouldn't recommend this book at all. |
