1.0 out of 5 stars inaccurate representation of the real mcat, July 24, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Peterson's McAt Success (1999) (Paperback)

the book doesn't even have organic chem questions! so biological sciences were just biology!!! and obscure biology w/ alot of terminology that you'll never need for the mcat! the science passages are far from the real mcat...everything is too easy!

1.0 out of 5 stars A Useless Book, August 5, 2000

By	cheryl (Canada) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Peterson's McAt Success 2000 (Peterson's Mcat Success, 2000) (Paperback)

This book had an insane number of errors, including incorrect formulae, incomplete questions and inconsistent answers. Not only that, but the "Practice Tests" were not anything like a true sample MCAT would be. Many questions tested irrelevant detail that would never be tested in this form on a real MCAT (e.g. "A midsagittal section will divide the body into: A. equal superior and inferior portions. B. equal lateral portions. C. equal anterior and posterior portions. D. unequal lateral portions.") Some of the Verbal Reasoning passages were on science topics--the true MCAT would never have science topics in that section. And even the writing prompts for the Writing Sample section are wrong! This book was a total waste of my money.

1.0 out of 5 stars A horrible book, July 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Peterson's McAt Success 2000 (Peterson's Mcat Success, 2000) (Paperback)

I found this book to be quite useless. It was poorly written and filled with editorial errors. Furthermore, the supposed "sample MCATs" did not at all resemble the actual test. Oftentimes, the science passages in the book were little more than a paragraph. In addition, the book stressed unimportant trivia while overlooking vital concepts.
