Summary: Could Be Worse 2007-04-13
Comment: First off, don't get this book if it's your sole source of Physics and Chemistry. It is not very comprehensive and is a bit off touch in those areas.
Secondly, this book has quite a few more errors than most books. Most annoyingly is it has about 200 unnecessary pages - after every 4-5 page chapter it has a 2-3 page review of the exact information. The questions at the end aren't really that great either.
However, Bio, Orgo and the CD aren't bad so it could be worse.

Summary: Best MCAT Prep guide I've come across 2007-03-28
Comment: 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, and is a poor tool to use for good preparation.
I give this book 5 stars; using it well and preparing thoroughly leaves very little doubt in my mind that I'll do less than well on the exam.
