Examkrackers: 1001 Questions in MCAT in Physics

Comment: Did every question in this book and saw my AAMC practice scores increase over the weeks. I did 100 questions of the book each week for 3 months leading up to the real test, and got me a 13. I am still in the process of applying, but feel much more confident with a 34 on my plate thanks to this book.

There are some errors in the book, but keep an eye out for them and consult with those PhDs you pay so much to have around on any that strike you as incorrect.

Comment: Did you get your MCAT score back and feel like a retard? I went from a 5 to an 8 in the physics section of my MCAT after I did the problems in this book. I did about every 3 problems. It took 2 months to do but was well worth it. If physics is your problem area, do as many problems as you can. The problems in here are simple and teach you the basic concepts. The format is not the same as the MCAT, because on the MCAT there are passages. But if you don't have the basic concepts of physics down, doing lengthy passage questions won't help you. My suggestion to you is to practice with this book first and use another book for physics passage questions. The KAPLAN books are not as good (at least for physics prep) in my opinion. When I only used kaplan I got a 5. Go with this book for your physics preparation!

Good luck!

Comment: This is a great review book for practicing various physics topics. It will improve your speed and your thinking in approaching physics problems on the real MCAT, thus allowing you to finish the section in time. I improved my scores from 08 to 12, when i used this book 4 years after taking physics I & II. I highly recommend it.

Comment: This book was just what I needed to really get the MANY practice problems that I longed for after the basic Examkrackers Physics book. The book provided MANY problems for each subject to the point where you have no choice but to understand the subject by the end of problem set. The author does a great job producing MCAT like questions. Though there are no passages followed by questions like in the real MCAT, trust me, you will definitely understand the topics by the end of this book and thats the most important thing. If you understand a topic/subject no matter how the passage is written or what the real MCAT questions ask...you will know how to understand and answer them because you have a strong foundation...via this book.

Comment: This is a great study guide to make sure you have all the topics covered. I went through the entire guide and scored a 15 on the physics section. All of the 1001 EC books are great. Using primarily these books I made a 38Q overall on the MCAT. Highly recommended.

One important note. These books are NOT in MCAT format. They are simply problems to go through to make sure the concepts are fully understood. Then you can tackle the real thing. All concepts are covered ad nauseum and practice makes perfect.
