Summary: Undecided...
Comment: I have not taken the actual MCAT test yet so I can not determine how useful this book has been; however, I can say that I like the book so far.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Useful, Very Good
Comment:
This was oe of my study references for the MCAT. I recommend this one because it has a lot of useful info that one needs to know for the biology portion of MCAT.
Another useful reference is "The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology:Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations (Topics:Origin of Living Things & Chemistry of Life, Structure and Function of the Cell & Energy Pathways, Reproduction and Heredity, Genetics) Volume 1 by Patrick Leonardi
This last study guide had wonderful questions/explanations that were quite comprehensive for the biology part of the MCAT.
Customer Rating:
Summary: cannot be better than this
Comment: This book is just awesome. You will not regret buying this book.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Wonderful preparation
Comment: The Biological Sciences segment of the MCAT contains the material that is least likely to have been comprehensively covered by the coursework of a typical undergraduate. While the chemistry and physics (and organic chemistry) elements of the test are all fairly similar to university syllabi, the broad sweep of MCAT's biology topics (biochemistry to anatomy, and selections from everything in between) makes it unlikely that any one or two courses could cover them all.
Enter Examkrackers. At precisely the correct level of detail, Orsay takes the reader through each part of the MCAT Biology curriculum, emphasizing the important elements, breezing through the minutiae, organizing everything so that it is easy to process and remember. I used virtually nothing apart from this book to study for MCAT's biology sections, and can say that never on the exam did I feel unprepared for a question, which, given the test, is all you can ask. The book might be less than ideal for someone wishing to learn these topics from scratch, but for a concise, helpful review, there is nowhere better to turn.
Customer Rating:
Summary: Good prep material will not discuss what is not on the exam
Comment: I saw this text as a readable, colorful supplement to cover bio material. My thinking is that this book does NOT go as deep as some of the other (Kaplin, Berkley, Princeton, etc) material out there - which is not a bad thing. In my eyes, some of the MCAT books out there are doing nothing more than rewriting the bio textbook I used in college - which I have anyhow. This text touches upon only the most applicable subjects for the test.
I now use the audio osmosis cd's to listen to the lectures while reading the charts and brief text in this book to study bio. While I think the book is pretty and a fast read I think the audio osmosis CDs are important to use with the book - but this is just my learning style. The audio cds really underline what IS and what IS NOT important to memorize vs. understand vs. recognize - while the text book is a little confusing in this regard.

This book reviews all the biology tested by the MCAT. It includes nine 30 minute exams in the MCAT format, and 135 additional stand alone questions. All 342 questions are in MCAT form and fully annotated. The book is illustrated in black and white, and in color. This book is expensive because it is the best MCAT biology review available.
