I bought these CDs a year after buying AudioOsmosis, after the once annoying jokes became something far, far worse. Audiolearn lacks these distractions, however suffers from a problem that I hadn't anticipated: AudioLearn is as stiff as AudioLearn is corny.
AudioLearn and Audio Osmosis seem to get to the same place in their own ways. Neither is perfect. Both are helpful. Both CDs were created by highly credentialed people. They cover the same information, which bolsters the faith you can have that you're studying the proper material.

These tapes are the best way to really understand the information needed to excel on the MCAT. I was amazed with the amount of information I was able to retain and understand by just listening to these tapes. They are very well organized too. I think this is a great way to solidify the information needed to do really well on the MCAT.

A fabulous product. It brought my score from a 7 to a 9 on the Bio section and from a 8 to a 10 on the Physical science section. I listened to these tapes in the morning while driving to school and on the way back, and they really helped. You'll remember alot more than you think. HIGHLY RECOMMEND.
