This book was worth the $25 I spent. I bought it because AAMC only offers about 8 practice MCATs for purchase, and I did not want to use all of them in case I had to retake the test. Some key differences between the Kaplan and official AAMC Practice tests (on e-mcat.com) are:(1) The physical sciences in Kaplan are more calculation intensive than AAMC. I believe this practice in doing more calculation-heavy PS sections really helped me on the real test. (2) The Kaplan scale for scores is waaaaay more lax than AAMC. I scored a 14 in Physical Sciences on one and I missed like 8-10 questions. No way. (3) The biological sciences sections are a bit easier than AAMC, but still good practice. I felt like the Kaplan Verbal sections were a bit harder, but, again, good practice.While studying, I switched off between the companies' FLs; I would take an AAMC FL one day, then a Kaplan FL a few days later, then AAMC a few days after that etc until the big day. My AAMC practice range was 28-30. My Kaplan practice range was 27-35. I went in hoping and praying for a balanced 30, since I felt the Kaplan scores were a bit unrealistic. My real score: a balanced 33.Overall, I felt that this was a valuable resource of full length practice tests, and would recommend it. I believe that using this book as a study tool resulted in the +4 point difference between my actual score and my AAMC practice average. That being said, don't read into Kaplan's predictive scaled scores too much. It will give you false hope.
I've heard Kaplan does not do a great job of mimicking the actual test. I would go with Examkrackers for the Verbal section, especially.Also, this book has a lot of typos. Sometimes the questions and the answer key do not match...
Seriously so disappointed. I ordered this book NEW and received a book that was clearly USED and RETURNED by somebody. The answers in the book were all circled and erased very poorly. I naively started this book without making sure it was marked in (not something you should EVER have to do when you buy something NEW) with real testing conditions and was completely thrown off when I started going through it and seeing someone's prior markings/answers. This would be completely understandable if I was buying this as "Used - Good Condition," but that wasn't the case at all. I'm so bummed that I feel like my first test was completely unreflective of my potential because of how messed up my testing situation got from the book being marked in. I'm obviously beyond upset. I will be exchanging this for a new one because I am desperate for materials, but if you have the choice, you should really reconsider if you're going to buy from this seller.
The practice test booklet came on time and in good condition. It was exactly as described and I'm using it to study for my MCAT
There is only 2 practice test on the book the other 2 are on the web. Half of the book is a introduction to the mcat
It a new edition, however the MCAT tests are copied from the previous edition. I was hoping to see different MCAT tests inside the book.
Came the in two days. Our kid studied and got a respectable score of 30 something on his first try. He said he would recommend it to anyone who is studying for MCAT.
Taking other practice tests would have cost me a great deal of money. This package was definitely worth the price and it was all of such great quality.
