This is the worst practice test/MCAT prep book out there. Numerous mistakes of every kind. Stay away like the plague.

Cons

1) This book has errors in it which is quite annoying.

2) The questions in this book don't really accurately reflect the actual MCAT.

Pros

1) Some of the techniques required for doing the MCAT are required in answering these tests (i.e. careful reading, concept comprehension), and in my opinion the topics at least in this book are true to the MCAT.

Summary

If you're desperate for questions, and are willing to put up with some of the stupidity in this book, you might want to look into it.

P.S. The best MCAT questions can of course be found on the previous examine www.aamc.org !

Not only does this book have mistakes, but it is nothing like a real MCAT. The form of almost half the questions is totally different. Additionally, all the passages are either much easier or much harder than an actual MCAT, I thought. There were also a lot of questions I thought were either questionable or just plain stupid. I wouldn't recommend this book to my worst enemy.

this book is absolutely horrible- it's full errors that make you want to tear the book apart from frustration. i can't believe they're still promoting this version. do not buy. don't waste your money. go for either kaplan or princeton review.
