This review is from: The Princeton Reivew: Cracking the MCAT, 2010-2011 Edition (Paperback) I purchased the Princeton review mcat review book because to me, princeton review had a certain level of prestige. I knew the book with be well put together, cover all the topics I needed, and since it was the new edition, be completely up to date.
After getting about halfway through the book, I can say it is well put together, the examples and format of the book are great, and it's about what I expected as far as material. BUT.... it is an absolute failure when it comes to typos. I have never read a professional labelled book, or any book for that matter, riddled with as many errors. I have found errors in every single section, including the practice problems!!! and they are not small errors. They have incorrectly written formulas, used incorrect exponents and coefficients, completely mislabeled answers as correct, incorrectly written answers to practice problems, its AWFUL! Even the colored important formulas/laws at the end of the book that you can...Read more 23 of 23 people found the following review helpful: Would be great if they had actually proofread it., Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: The Princeton Reivew: Cracking the MCAT, 2010-2011 Edition (Paperback) This is my second time studying for the MCAT. Before I used the Kaplan book and didn't like it very much. I decided to splurge on a new book to reinforce the concepts and thought Princeton Review would be the way to go. For me, it's greatest advantage over Kaplan were the practice questions after each concept. Each major science topic (Physics, Bio, Chem, and O Chem) are broken down into 3 subsections Mastery Achieved - a review of the concepts followed by simple sample problems Mastery Applied - an MCAT style passage with 5-8 questions at the end of a group of related chapters Mastery Verified- explanations of the answers to the Mastery Applied MCAT style passage. In theory this is great approach. You read a concept, immediately test your comprehension with a brief question or 2 so you can determine if you really understand it, then apply your knowledge to a passage similar to what you would see on the MCAT. Then, you check your answers, and...Read more 12 of 12 people found the following review helpful:  Ridiculous Typos, By Marth (New York, NY) - See all my reviews This review is from: The Princeton Reivew: Cracking the MCAT, 2010-2011 Edition (Paperback) I don't usually write reviews, especially for test-prep books. If you're studying for the MCAT, you will probably pick up this text. But the sheer amount of mistakes in this book make it almost useless. The typos range from prefix (cm becomes km) to numbers (0.4 becomes 0.) but often times make the answers incorrect. It's VERY frustrating - and makes studying for a difficult test even harder. I can't recommend another book (Kaplan, Barrons, etc.) from experience, and usually Princeton Review is the best - but in this case - steer clear. |
