Summary: Great General Review of Biology 2009-11-14
Comment: This was a really well written and nicely illustrated book for reviewing biology on the MCAT. I read this book along with the supplemental audio set audio osmosis. The two make a nice combo and both work well with each other. For, me I haven't taken biology as a class since AP bio my junior year of high school so I was worried about this section of the MCAT. This book gives an excellent general overview of what you need to know for the biology section (and also importantly what you don't).
My main gripe would be both the lack of detail -in order to do really well on the MCAT bio section you'll really have to use this book as a supplement to other material out there. Its a great starting place especially if the bio concepts aren't fresh in your mind though, and for that I highly recommend it.

Summary: Excellent MCAT Biology Book. 2009-01-11
Comment: I purchased MCAT biology help me study for PCAT, and it is wonderful. The book gives you ton of hints of what kind of questions going to be ask and what to memorize. Pictures and diagrams are wonderful and very helpful. Has plenty practice questions to re-enforce concepts. It is a thin book with 278 pages, so it easy to carry around to different locations. I used for PCAT, but friends of mine borrowed it for other exams and said that it extremely helpful.

Summary: Useful, Very Good 2006-08-12
Comment: This was oe of my study references for the MCAT. I recommend this one because it has a lot of useful info that one needs to know for the biology portion of MCAT.
Another useful reference is "The Ultimate Study Guide for Biology:Key Review Questions and Answers with Explanations (Topics:Origin of Living Things & Chemistry of Life, Structure and Function of the Cell & Energy Pathways, Reproduction and Heredity, Genetics) Volume 1 by Patrick Leonardi
This last study guide had wonderful questions/explanations that were quite comprehensive for the biology part of the MCAT.
