Great book set for MCAT study

Reviewed in the United States on January 22, 2011

Verified Purchase

Disclaimer: I'm not one of those miracle students who claim to have no background knowledge and ended up with a 45 thanks to this set. I'm a regular student with a shaky foundation in the sciences the MCAT tests, since I messed up my freshman and sophomore years. I studied for one summer, and ended up with a 34Q (12 PS, 10 VR, 12 BS); a modest yet decent score. I did, in fact take a Princeton Review course, but I barely opened their huge coursebooks mainly because attending their classes gave me a false sense of security - I became lazy and didn't feel the need to study. Three to four weeks before the exam date, the realization of the danger I was in finally hit me, and I almost completely relied on Examkrackers for study. I scanned the table of contents in every book except the verbal, and marked off what I didn't understand. I read every page under those marked sections. I appreciated the succinct nature of their explanations, but in physics some amount of understanding was sacrificed in a few topics (mainly E&M)- for those, I referred to the Princeton Review book. (Keep in mind my foundation in physics was especially troublesome). Because of the nature of my studying for the MCAT (I essentially used the EK as an emergency reference) I didn't have the chance to learn how helpful this book would have been in reasonable study conditions. If I have time I may properly study for, and retake the MCAT. Nonetheless, I am grateful for this bookset for bringing me a fairly good score.

34!

The Verbal on the MCAT was my weakest section. I used Princeton Review materials but for some reason I could never score higher than a 7. 3 weeks before my test, I started to panic because I was sure that my Verbal score was going to pull me down to a 30 or less. I searched everywhere on tips to raise my score, and everyone kept recommending this ExamKrackers book. I gave it a try and in about a week, my score started to bump up by 2-3 points! I recommend you give yourself more time than I gave myself to prepare. Make sure to read the book cover to cover (it's a very short read anyway) and thoroughly go through the practice exercises. This book really does help when you put in the effort.

Most effective if purchased in combination with EK101 VR

Reviewed in the United States on August 27, 2012

Verified Purchase

This book is most useful for learning and drilling basic foundations of the EK VR strategy. It is not, however, sufficient in itself for VR prep since it contains only 3 mini-section practice VR tests. You will need to acquire another source of practice materials to drill these techniques to mastery.

The EK technique seems useful, however, the accompanying practice materials in this book are flawed:

1) The practice VR mini-tests are substantially more difficult than those found in EK101. This is due mainly to answer ambiguity in the accompanying passage questions. You'll find that the answers are much less debatable in EK101, and in practice AAMC tests. It is my opinion that the practice VR passages in this book were made especially difficult in a ploy to sell EK101.

2) The scoring guide to the mini-tests is flawed, as it provides a raw-scaled conversion where a maximum raw score of 23 is possible when there are only 21 questions per test. Reduce the raw score range by 2 points for each accompanying score to get a more accurate score.

3) Even when accounting for the aforementioned problem, the curve is still scaled much steeper than the curve used in EK101. For example, in this book a 66% would scale to a 10, while in EK101 a 75% would scale to a 10.

4) Each passage contains 7 accompanying questions, while a normal MCAT will contain a range from 5 to 7 questions per passage.

As a final point, I've noticed that EK's passages are generally easier to read and more logical than Kaplan, Berkely Review, Princeton Review, and AAMC releases. However, the accompanying passage questions are more difficult than those aforementioned practice materials. As such, EK is probably a better source for learning how to tackle difficult questions, than it is for dissecting difficult passages. Regardless, after first completing a Kaplan review course, my score was stuck at a 7 until employing EK's strategies and working through EK101. All the hard work paid of with an 11 on the real thing.

If I Had Only Had More Than One Month...

Reviewed in the United States on May 6, 2011

Verified Purchase

Unlike most reviewers up here, I am not applying directly into med school and actually took the MCAT for admission into a post-bac pre-med program b/c I know I'm not competitive as of right now. I only needed a twenty with no individual score below a 6. To make a long story short, this book and it's strageties are no short than amazing. After finding out I had to take the MCAT on short notice with only one month of prep time alloted, I jumped three points and it had been almost six years since I had taken the MCAT.

I makes me wonder how much higher it could have went if I had the whole three months recommended. I don't review much and I'm reviewing. Buy this book.

Ruined my score!!

Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

I expected great things from this book based on all the reviews. I spent a lot of time mastering the strategy and pointers presented in this book, only to have my verbal score DROP 4 POINTS (!!) from the AAMC practice test taken before I got the book! I had eliminated the straightforward answers that made sense to me, as advised by this book, only to find out that those were actually the right answers!! This book makes you think the MCAT is trying to trick you. It's not; it's a straightforward test. Glad I figured it out on a practice test and not from a real MCAT score!

Reviewed in the United States on August 19, 2013

Very helpful book! Mine came in great condition, and the information inside is definitely very helpful for starting to study for the MCAT. I pretty much have been using this verbal technique and have been getting on average 10's or 11's on the verbal section on the AAMC practice tests. I think a lot of the other companies' techniques are a bunch of hogwash that make it more complicated that it has to be. This really isn't a technique at all, more like common sense, but it has some good practice and examples. Not necessary for studying, though, so if you're strapped on cash, skip it.
