1.0 out of 5 stars MCAT Verbal Reasoning Review, July 27, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: MCAT Verbal Reasoning Review (Academic Test Prep) (Paperback)

The book specifically test #2 is filled with errors. There are duplicate question numbers, skipped answer numbers, and some of the answers are flat out incorrect. It makes it very frustrating when attemping to study.

1.0 out of 5 stars Don't Waste Your Money!, February 24, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: MCAT Verbal Reasoning Review (Academic Test Prep) (Paperback)

This book is a waste of money. There are many errors in it which makes studying very difficult and frustrating. The questions also appear easier than those on actual MCAT practice tests, which gives you an inaccurate self-evaluation. Do not purchase this book--you will wish you didn't!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not just for wannabe doctors, October 10, 2001

By 

Patricia Furie (Hamilton, Scotland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: MCAT Verbal Reasoning Review (Academic Test Prep) (Paperback)

There are a lot of practice passages - about 36. The answers are generally explained quite well and in detail but the book has a lot of errors such as answers being wrongly numbered. I also thought some of the answers were just plain wrong. But it is not easy to find material that is hard enough to practise for entry into difficult professions. These examples are hard enough. (In fact, I'm more impressed with doctors' brains than I was before!) I thought it was challenging and useful though I did skip the science based passages because I was using it to tutor someone who wanted to be a pilot not a doctor. I searched the web for suitable material; it was surprisingly difficult to find much aimed at this level. So I recommend this one to you. It is one of three books that I bought. (The Columbia Review MCAT Verbal Reasoning Powerbuilder by Stephen D Bresnick and William H Bresnick was also useful). My student got through. What more can I say?
