1.0 out of 5 stars This Book is an Utter Waste, August 26, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Prepare for the McAt: Medical College Admission Test (Barron's How to Prepare for the New Medical College Admission Test Mcat) (Paperback)

I would strongly recommend that you NOT buy this book. It's an utter waste of time. The biology review section is hardly comprehendable, and concentrates on such minute and ridiculous details that it's far more frustrating than productive to read. The organic chem review section is a joke, and is only a few pages long. The practice tests have questions that are not representative of those appearing on the actual exam. The only section in the pratice exams that MIGHT be remotely useful is the verbal section. But even here, while the passasges are okay, the questions are not very representative of those on the actual exam. With horrible review sections and practice tests that are even worse, this book is a complete waste of your money. I got duped into buying it becasue the price was so much lower than the price on other review books. Now I know why. You'd be much better off paying the ~$50 for the Kaplan MCAT review boook, which is far more comprehensive and useful.

1.0 out of 5 stars Lousy book, November 20, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: How to Prepare for the McAt: Medical College Admission Test (Barron's How to Prepare for the New Medical College Admission Test Mcat) (Paperback)

This book cannot even begin to prepare you with their very vague review of sciences. the practice tests are way too easy and have no reflectio whatsoever of the MCAT. Don't waste your time with it!

Dayo Fadelu (Waco, TX) - See all my reviews

This review is from: How to Prepare for the MCAT (Paperback)

This book is very, very out of date. Don't waste your time or your money. The exams also have a wierd different format. Invest in Exam krackers, Kaplan or Princeton.
