MCAT Verbal Reasoning Review

The book specifically test #2 is filled with errors. There are duplicate question numbers, skipped answer numbers, and some of the answers are flat out incorrect. It makes it very frustrating when attemping to study.

This book is a waste of money. There are many errors in it which makes studying very difficult and frustrating. The questions also appear easier than those on actual MCAT practice tests, which gives you an inaccurate self-evaluation. Do not purchase this book--you will wish you didn't!

There are a lot of practice passages - about 36. The answers are generally explained quite well and in detail but the book has a lot of errors such as answers being wrongly numbered. I also thought some of the answers were just plain wrong. But it is not easy to find material that is hard enough to practise for entry into difficult professions. These examples are hard enough. (In fact, I'm more impressed with doctors' brains than I was before!) I thought it was challenging and useful though I did skip the science based passages because I was using it to tutor someone who wanted to be a pilot not a doctor. I searched the web for suitable material; it was surprisingly difficult to find much aimed at this level. So I recommend this one to you. It is one of three books that I bought. (The Columbia Review MCAT Verbal Reasoning Powerbuilder by Stephen D Bresnick and William H Bresnick was also useful). My student got through. What more can I say?
