2.0 out of 5 stars A clear lack of editing, March 4, 2009

This review is from: McGraw-Hill's New MCAT with CD-Rom (McGraw-Hill's MCAT (W/CD)) (Paperback)
The most apparent flaw of this review book is the disjointed and sometimes lacking editing. Disjointed in how the physics and chemistry sections have glossaries while the biology and organic chem sections do not, or how chemistry has fill in the blank review questions (instead of multiple choice, MCAT style questions), or how the physics questions range from trivially easy to requiring a calculator and heavy number crunching.

The typos are the most frustrating. It got to the point where I kept a list of the various typos and inaccurate information. They included mistakes in physics equations (forgetting a log in a rate constant equation) to outdated biological information (lactic acid was found not to be the cause to muscle fatigue). I think that most premeds will figure out the mistakes given a bit of time, but the extra effort and second guessing of material is never forgivable when alternatives exist.

Ultimately it isn't a worthless review book. It is priced...Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Best MCAT Prep guide I've come across, March 28, 2007

This review is from: McGraw-Hill's New MCAT with CD-Rom (McGraw-Hill's MCAT (W/CD)) (Paperback)
This is very definitely the most comprehensive, intelligent, detailed MCAT prep. book I've come across so far. I wasn't surprised to see that the publisher is one of the premier medical publisher (remember your McGraw Biology text books from college). Each chapter is complete in itself...you don't have to go hunting for better explanation on vaguely introduced topics; there was such an intelligent organization of topics that you can see that they put a lot of thoughtful planning into this. And the diagrams and tables...I kept gushing about how useful (and how many!) they were.

The topics are all current and up to date. Just compare the book at the bookstore to all other books, and you'll see for yourself. The book speaks for itself!

I've retired the book I was studying from (i.e. K....). My MCAT group discovered that there were hardly any changes from the older editions of this 'K.....' guide...in other words, it covers 1/10th the material that the McGraw covers,...Read more
