BEWARE there are a multitude of typos.... sometimes the answer choices have an asterisk indicating that one answer is correct... some answers are flat out wrong, and the passages are much harder than the actual MCAT passages although it is good practice, don't waste your money | ||
Many errors I purchased this book to supplement the other Examkrackers materials that I am using, and am very disappointed. The verbal section of Exam 1 is riddled with ridiculous typos ("Itit" is not a word) and question 30 reads like a word salad : "...clarify his argument withAn appropriate clarification of the passage would be the stipulation that: his the author's argument applies only to both: A. the present and future..." Yes, it is written just like this, and no, context does not help. This is exam 1. What do the others look like? If they didn't bother to do the easy editing, how can any part of it be taken seriously? Don't waste your time or money with this book. | ||
Expect typos. I feel that there are a lot of prodcuts out there that are both beneficial than this book. It is good for early morning practice to stimulate your brain, but I would not use it as a primary means of studying. First of all, the book is full of typos. For some, this might not be a problem, but I found it highly distracting. Secondly, the explanations for correct answers was poor. I found myself referring back to other books to figure out the answers. Third, these are only one hour mini-tests, so that introduces two new issues. You cannot really use these tests as an assessment, because they are so short. On the same day, I could score 6/16 on the biology section. Later, the same day, I could score 14/16. Also, being short, they do not help with preparing endurance for the actual exam. While I did not find this book very helpful, I would recommend the 1001 question series. I used the o-chem and physics books, and found those questions much engaging. | ||
Good purchase despite the typos This book is a great supplement to the ExamKracker 1001 books and for MCAT content review, but there are a lot of typos. The answers are correct in the back of the book, but some questions have such bad wording/typos you cannot even answer them. (As a note for personal use: the key to each test is NOT correct, but when you look at the descriptions to each question/answer, the correct choice is highlighted). Do NOT use this as your only source of practice problems! There aren't enough questions to re-iterate all of the information you need for the MCAT. The built-in schedule and the passage based approach to the questions are very helpful. I used this book, EK1001s, and Berkeley Review and scored a 37. I broke up the tests in the following way (I did this after I completed my initial content review): I took 1,3,5,7,9,11,13, and 15 on consecutive days (with a break every Sunday). After a week break I took 2,4,6,8,10,12,14 and 16 on consecutive days. I reviewed all of the information I was lacking while going through the passage the next day, and reviewed EVERY problem, right or wrong. Overall, it's worth the money. | ||
