I do not recommend this book. Not only will it be unhelpful as a tool to mastering the topics in the MCAT, it will be a hindrance because the topics are so poorly taught. The only good it does is that it provides an accurate outline of the scope of physics topics covered on the MCAT (and that information is free on the offical MCAT homepage). The explanations are very short, often incomplete, and sometimes outright incomprehensible. This is a book clearly not written by a person who understands the physics in a meaningful enough manner to teach it effectively.
Because the MCAT is knowledge based, a person is better off simply knowing the material through and through. The outline of the topics within the scope of the MCAT and a good introductory physics textbook--written by people who have devoted their lives to the study and teaching of physics, will serve you much better.

I do not recommend this book. Not only it is poorly written, it will not give you the understanding you will need to do well on MCAT physics. This book is clearly not written by someone who REALLY understands physics. The questions at the end of each topic are way harder than the material covered and the explanation are poor and incomplete. STAY AWAY! I wish someone had told me this and had saved me time.
