Examkrackers Mcat Reasoning Skills: Verbal, Research & Math

While I do like the general stategy that EK provides for tackling CARS (focus on the main idea, avoid referring to the original passage as much as possible), I can't recommend this question package. Half the questions have a 50/50 answer where the correct answer seems to be chosen based on a subjective criteria. The solutions provided are paragraphs long and sometimes require some logical hoop jumping to justify. The difficulty is also wildy inconsistent, one practice set I got high 70% and then the next set I got 49%. I don't have any reason to believe I degraded my ability 20% within two weeks, but it just seems too inconsistent for me. I know these passages are supposed to be difficult, but the question stems and answer choices just don't seem reasonable when compared to other CARS sources.

I purchased this book and realized as I was studying that it's missing about 20 pages. The book gets to page 102, repeats pages 85-102, and then starts up again at p121. Very frustrating to discover in the middle of a study session.

I need to retake the MCAT and I wish I had this book the first time around. This book has many tricks to improve calculations and also to understand research passages. I used KAPLAN before and I didn’t understand why they didn’t teach HOW to take the test, which was a big piece I was missing. I’m so glad I found this book.

This arrived about a week earlier than expected! For that I was super pleased, and was even happier when I opened it. I purchased it used and it looks essentially brand new. Not a speck of highlighting or writing inside the book. I was so happy to get it so early to start studying, but the fact I don't have to overlook someone else's highlighting and marking (especially on the practice questions) is amazing! I got this originally $35.99 book for an absolute bargain. Thank you!

Like all the other Examkracker books this one is clear and concise. Maybe a little bit too much so - I would've wished for more practice exercises. But having read other reviews ahead of time (from older editions) I was prepared for that and bought a a different book for pure practice purposes. This MCAT manual helps get technique down instead of reviewing content.
