I'm an MCAT instructor with MCATProf.com and have been teaching the MCAT for 10 years having previously been an instructor with Kaplan and the Princeton Review. I've read and used all the books available for the current 2014 MCAT (Berkeley Review, Kaplan, Princeton Review, Examkrackers) and in the past wasn't especially impressed with the Examkrackers MCAT books. I've purchased all the 2015 MCAT books that are currently commercially available (Princeton Review Complete MCAT Set, Kaplan 7-Book Subject Review, Examkrackers Complete Study Package, and Next Step Test Prep Practice for Behavioral Sciences)I'd rank them in the following order1. Examkrackers Complete Study Package2. Kaplan Complete 7-Book Subject Review3. Princeton ReviewnMCAT Subject Review Complete Set4. Next Step Test Prep Practice for Behavioral Sciences.Examkrackers is the only set that completely reformatted their books to be inline with the new exam. Every book is almost completely different with reformatted content, and new practice passages that fit the format of the new exam. All their science passages reference primary research articles directly as do the MCAT passages for the 2015 exam. These new types of passages are different than the more information dump type passages for the current 2014 MCAT exam. In addition, all their passages directly involve biological systems even in the physics and chemistry books which is what you'd expect to see with the new 2015 MCAT. They also redistributed the content science content in the book to better adequately represent the degree to which each subject is tested on the new exam. These books are a complete reboot to best fit the new exam. Each chapter has comes with three well written passages and around 20 free standing practice questions.
I feel I had to write this as I'm using these books to study currently.I studied prior to this using a slightly older version of the Kaplan series (2010). I found the Kaplan books very easy to read, sequentially laid out in a logical order, with lots of easy to understand diagrams and explanations. (This was also when they had a considerable amount of practice problems/exams in them.)I thought I'd get an updated set since the new test includes more sections not available in earlier review books. (Psych, Soc, CARS stats, biochem). This one seemed to stand out in the reviews, but was unavailable as a set (under $700...price gougers) so I bought each book separately, and it came out to about the price now. ~$200)The psych, and CARS books are nice. There are a lot of refresher terms and it gives me an idea about what form the questions on the test may be.However, I'm finding the rest of the subject books to be pretty horrible in terms of how they're written, what information they provide and logical order. They really don't explain things conceptually within the chapters. Diagrams are all over the place. It's like the editors were loaded up on an energy drink and puked out tips/charts/questions and formulas without really explaining things. I don't feel like I'm 'grasping' the subject matter reading through them as I did with the Kaplan material. (I'm not the type to be reliant on pure memory, I enjoy understanding the processes.)That said, these DO have a lot of practice problems that I've found way more useful than the chapter content itself.If you're going to buy these for using solely as practice material, then I would recommend them!
