Product Description
The passages in this book have been designed to closely resemble official MCAT Verbal passages. From the type font to the subject matter to the number of words in each passage, question, and answer choice, these exas have the real MCAT feel. The questions in this book accurately duplicate the intended ambiguity that is the challenge of the actual MCAT. As is true of the official MCAT, you won't find the answers to these questions by hunting through the passages to find specific details. Instead, you'll need to understand the passeges in their entirety, just as you will on official MCAT day. The explanations in this book provide a comprehensive breakdown of correct, and incorrect answer choices. If you want lots of practice with tough, accurate MCAT exams to boost your Verbal Reasoning score on MCAT day, this book is for you.

Summary: Examkrackers is Not the Best MCAT Verbal Practice Guide 2010-07-21
Comment: This isn't the best MCAT Verbal test prep. About 1/3 of all answers in the back of the book seemed to me either poorly explained or wrong. Maybe this book is just too hard for me, or I just don't get the answers. But on real MCAT practice tests, the answers given always make perfect sense to me. They are no doubt the right answers once they are revealed.
This book is good in quantity. It has many passages and questions that mimic the MCAT Verbal. But, practicing from this guide might hurt a premed student's intuition regarding the real MCAT test, so I don't recommend using it. I found that Kaplan makes higher quality MCAT Verbal tests, at least in my opinion. And if a premed student can afford it, I would tell him or her to just buy real MCAT tests.

Summary: Good practice 2010-05-09
Comment: This is a good book for practice. However I think this book can be misleading at times. For those studying for the MCAT, use this book to practice passages and more less of actually taking a test one by one. I would say use this book to practice a few passages a day. The questions are very challenging and will you get you thinking and focused for the real thing. I would say this can be easier than the real MCAT or AAMC verbal, but it is harder at times as well. So I guess we can say it balances out.
The passages for the most part are very interesting, compared to most verbal passages I have seen in the real MCAT and other prep companies. This book lacked humanity and philosophy passages, which is almost always present on the real MCAT. Although the questions are extremely difficult, some of the questions all over the book have more than one right answer, and will keep you guessing. So this book does have it's mistakes.
I would not actually score each practice verbal test based on the scale given in the back of the book. In my opinion I think some tests are harder than others in the book. Because of this I think that one and only scale in the back of the book should not be representative of each test in this book. If each test were graded accordingly, based on a pool of people getting certain questions right and wrong, then we would know each real score for each test. A lot of people I know, including myself, had verbal scores which fluctuated from this book.
As I mentioned before, use this book as practice. See which questions you got right and wrong, and why and how it lead you to the answer. Just use this book to polish your test-taking technique for the Verbal section, whatever technique it might be.
I give this book a 3.7 rating, which rounds up to 4. I do recommend this book, but with caution.
