Reviewer: ,
I've used several of the MCAT products related to the Verbal Reasoning Section and I found this product to be BY FAR the most helpful. It's a quick read, but the information is practical and easy to apply. Certainly buy this book if you want to develop the skills you need to get a really high verbal score. If you're only looking to acheive an average score, you might not need to bother with this book, as many other resources are available to help you gain some BASIC verbal skills. Remember, fellow MCAT'ers, the Verbal is the most difficult section to improve your score in, so its imperitive that you PRACTICE EXTENSIVELY if you want a really high score.
I'll say this......

These books are amazing! As a minority student, I came into the Examkrackers course having already studied for months with other books and hoping for a 24 or 25 on the MCAT. After studying with these books for 10 weeks, I gained new confidence and I took the August MCAT expecting a thirty or better! My practice exam scores steadily increased over the 10 week study period from a 22 to a 30 on the last two exams. What helped me most was the way the books presented the material to me. There were no longwinded explanations or useless facts that would confuse me. They cut right to the chase and told me exactly what I needed to know and what I needed to do in order to improve my score. The verbal strategy was especially effective when I totally committed myself to it. I went from a 9 to a twelve in verbal. (One criticism is that the verbal books need more practice passages.) I highly recommend these books to anyone having trouble finding quality study materials for this exam.
It works

Reviewer: illini08,
I tried using the strategies of another large test prep company (the one I work for now, actually) and the best I could do after 3 months was a 9. After 2 weeks with this book, I was regularly getting an 11, and that's what I got on the MCAT. If I had just picked up this book earlier, I probably would've gotten 12+.

Bottom line: If you're taking a TPR/Kaplan course right now, forget what your verbal teacher says and just go by this book.

Before having purchased this book I found myself very frustrated doing official MCATs from previous years under timing. I was trying different methods that I've gotten from word of mouth or from other books and it just wasn't working. This book illustrates the absolute essentials in order to do well. I went from a 4 to 9 in about a week with increased practice. Core examples of what the other companies are spewing and how these methods will not work efficiently was very well laid out. I recommend this book to any future MCAT takers
Right to the Point

This book has pretty good ideas on how to tackle the Verbal Reasoning section of the MCAT exam. I recommend it to those who can read fast and think they answered most the questions right but end up scoring bellow a 10. This book will guide you in the right direction on how to answer the very confusing questions, how to spot tricky questions, and how to overcome the habit of referring to the passage over and over with every question. The book however contains only three 30 minutes verbal exams!
