This review is from: Schaum's Outline of Physics for Pre-Med, Biology, and Allied Health Students (Paperback)

A very poorly-compiled book. Spend the money to get a good textbook, or the Nova series physics review (for the MCAT), which is much better. Formulas are incorrect, calculations done wrong, etc. Will have you pulling your hair out. A waste of time.
