Examkrackers MCAT: Complete Study Package (Examkrackers)
by Jonathan Orsay

"The best in MCAT Prep" - Reviewer: R. Chang (Philadelphia, PA)

I studied independently using only these materials and scored a 34 on the MCAT.


"Everything you need is here"- Reviewer: C. Chastine (Lexington, KY)

The ExamKrackers books were absolutely indispensable for my MCAT preparation. I cannot recommend this set highly enough. I used these books and virtually nothing else to study for the MCAT. In fact, I recommend that you NOT use anything other than the ExamKrackers books (backed up by your textbooks as necessary when you need a particular topic clarified). They present absolutely everything you need to know -- and, more importantly, they tell you what you DON'T need to know.

"Awesome tool for Audio Learners!"
Reviewer: R. A. Edery "Audio Learner" (Brooklyn, New York, USA)

I am half way through listening to these awesome CDs. Here is why they are the greatest idea since sliced bread: 1)They are a very much needed tool, for those of us learners that learn best by hearing 2)For those who have a lot of commute time they don't want wasted, it is a valuable way to spend that time 3)It is a fun, simple, and entertaining way to be introduced or to review the hard sciences.

                                              
"Worked for me"
Reviewer: Karen S. (Ft. Lauderdale, FL)

These CDs and the Examkrackers book set are all I studied for those long-forgotten subjects. Excellent, to-the-point format gave me exactly what I needed to know on each section, refreshed my memory with good visuals and the audio topped it off. As I am more of a visual learner, I was really surprised how much the audio helped.

Worked for me as I am busy packing to enter Medical School in my first choice school for Fall, 05 matriculation.

Good luck to all.

Examkrackers 1001 Questions in MCAT Physics
by Jonathan Orsay

"Great Physics Practice" -Reviewer: A reader

I really found this book very, very helpful. I thought it covered every topic on the MCAT. Some of the questions were a little easier than McAT, and some seemed a little more difficult than MCAT, but they all seemed like McAT questions to me. You can't beat the online help offered with this book. THe author himself answers your science questions. Two enthusiastic thumbs up from me.

"Good Way to Prep for Physics" -Reviewer: jpeller7

I used the 1001 physics book and a national prep course to prepare for my MCAT. I scored a 12 on the physical sciences. I found the 1001 physics book to be accurate in the science and a strong pedagogic tool for learning the concepts. There were some (but really very few) typos in the book, and I didn't find them myself, but they were posted on the examkrackers website and appear to be updated regularly. Additionally, Examkrackers provides a bulletin board where Jon Orsay himself actually responds quickly to science questions that relate to the book. Mr. Orsay explains on this site that the 1001 books are designed to teach MCAT science and that passages allow you to answer questions without knowing the science. That's why these questions are not passage based. He actually suggests using a different book if you are already scoring 10s in the science section and he says that you should definitely supplement this book with a review book and full length exams. Anyway, I thought the book was pretty good, and I don't think I would have done so well without it.

Examkrackers 1001 Questions in MCAT Organic Chemistry
by Michelle, Phd Gilbertson, Andrew Dauber (Editor)

"Perfect Practice Problems for MCAT" -Reviewer: A reader
Practice is the key to the MCAT. Review is an essential first step, but is only part of the complete preparation for the MCAT. ORGO 1001 will help you guys ace the Biological Science questions. Everything from stereochemistry to lab techniques is in this book. There are over 90 stereochemistry questions alone. This book won't guarantee a 15, but it may help raise your score a couple points.
.
"Great Review"
Reviewer: A Reader

I used this book and found the questions to be very close to the type used on the MCAT. While there are a few typos I found this book a great way to review for the exam. Of this type of resource I found this to be the best one for OChem.

Examkrackers 1001 Questions in MCAT Chemistry
by Scott Calvin, Jonathan Orsay

"A must have for the Physical Sciences portion of the MCAT"
-Reviewer: V. Bahel "docmd2010"

If you want to score well on the physical sciences portion of the mcat, BUY THIS BOOK. I bought this book 5 weeks ago, and I feel much more confident about the material on the MCAT. Get this book for practice and drilling of concepts. If you don't know the material- DO NOT GET THIS BOOK!!!!!!! Like said above, review the material elsewhere, but if you want to perfect your concepts get this book. Make sure you review the concept, though, before doing the problems. It's the general rule of thumb, that if you know the concept decently, and If you do problems (which this book has loads and loads, for example, there are 200 problems devoted JUST to acids and bases), then you will master the concept.

I have improved my physical sciences scores now to a 12 up from a 9 in just 3 weeks. Granted, I worked very hard, but if you put your heart into this book, and really learn each and every one of these 1001 questions inside and out, meaning you learn why every answer choice is wrong, and why choices is correct, and also if you can give yourself problems just like the problems in the book, then there is absolutely no reason to not perform well on the Physical sciences test. Everyone says how the MCAT test is a thinking test is a valid statement for every section except for the physical sciences section. Only thinking you'll have to do is read and understand the passage (which, say if the passage is about magnetism, and you understand magnetism like thet back of your hand, is a joke), the rest of the test is simple math calculations and concepts. Good luck pre-meds-don't lose faith in yourself-the MCAT's are extremely difficult, but they are also predictable, and most importantly, conquerable.

"Begin to think like the AAMC"
Reviewer: "roygbasch"

I challenge anyone to find a better series of teaching tools than the 1001 series from Examkrackers. I have been collecting all of the available MCAT prep material for the last two years and I am very adamant when I say there is a lot of bad/misguided/bs out there for sale. The authors of the 1001 books have gone to great lengths to make these books excellent learning tools.
The 1001 series are not passages like the real MCAT, they are problems that allow you to hone in on your weaknesses and fix them. The mini-passage format allows the user to get accustom to the MCAT style of questioning. If you are able to understand all 1001 questions in this book, then there is no reason not to score perfect on the MCAT Physical Science section.
The 1001 books are about the concepts and they force the student to think intuitively. This, my friends, is how to succeed on the MCAT.

Examkrackers 101 Passages in MCAT Verbal Reasoning
by David Orsay

"Here is the answer MCAT VR preparation" -Reviewer: A reader

This book has perhaps bridged the gap between me and medical school. In July I bought 101 Passages and diligently took a full length verbal section about once every three days as part of my preparation and it made the difference between medical school in the Carribean and becoming a viable candidate for some first tier U.S. medical schools.

"Best Verbal Material on the Market ! !" -Reviewer: A reader

This source of verbal practice for the MCAT is great. It is a must for anyone taking the MCAT and attempting to do well on the verbal resoning section. The author has done a great job of capturing the "MCAT voice" by giving the reader challenging passages and questions that are like those on the MCAT. Hands down, this is some of the best stuff on the market! Other pre-meds would agree if they took a look at this book. Check this book as a must have, not only a "good" source.
