Review
Holy COW, May 25, 2003
Reviewer: Brian Weisel from Ann Arbor, MI USA This gives you exactly what you need, and nothing else. It is a great condensed format that if read in full will prpare you for anything on the MCAT. I wish I had these book when I took orgo or physics, it would've helped me in those courses.

Best Out There For MCAT But Could be Better
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R2OFSWJ1RJA5JK These books are the best out there for MCAT prep, but I do not think they will be enough. For the Verbal section you have to train your brain. Fill your brain with goodies (fish oil, ALCAR, ect supplements)
I was not satisfied with the explanations
given for test taking strategies. Two books I would
recommend to improve test scores are: Don't Like to Read, Then Don't, Listen!: How to Turn Any Type of Text Into Audio Files That Can Be Read to You!. The more content
(and the faster you can get through this content)
you can be exposed to the faster you will pick up on
things. I am using some of the software I learned about
in Don't Like to Read, Then Don't, Listen, to have this
content read. The second book I recommend is The Edge Effect: Achieve Total Health and Longevity with the Balanced Brain Advantage, which lays out a program so one can
have optimal brain health and optimal brain functioning.

Science valid, verbal reasoning not
I recently purchased this book set in preparation for the MCAT. In my opinion, the science information is presented in a satisfactory manner in most cases however, I have a hard time understanding how Jonathan Orsay, a history major, feels that he has any business writing a science text.
Moreover, I would recommend that any student who intends to use this book set should take the information presented in the verbal reasoning booklet with a grain of salt. Some of the tips are useful but the practice exams exhibit just how abysmal the authors' comprehension of the written english language truly is. If you can, try to find something better.

ehhh
I'm a pre-pharm student and I was told that it would be helpful to use the mcat review books because it's more informative. I'm not sure how these books got so many good reviews because beside for the cute pictures and animations it was lacking a lot of useful info. Additionally, there's barely any math review in the package, and there's a big chunk of calculus on the Pcat and Mcat...I was kind of disappointed...
