Fantastic Book
The revised version of this book is awesome. Absolutely loved it.
horrible book
This book is absolutely worthless. It contains a lot of errors. Spend your money elsewhere unless you like wasting money and time reading this silly book. There is no easy way to prepare for the MCAT. It takes a lot of work and preseverence. There are many other fine referenced materials out there. You can take a class but I would not recommend Princeton Review. bye, bye. peter nguyen,atl
Nice Format, but Full of Errors
The index card format is a good idea. The cards are no substitute for a more comprehensive subject review, but they may be useful for jogging your memory and for quick study sessions when you're on the go.

There are, however, several significant problems with the book. The book includes some facts that are unlikely to be tested on the MCAT, and worse, omits other facts that are covered on the test. In addition, just thumbing through the book, I have already found several typographical errors, and on closer insepection, I expect to find factual errors too. Finally, the cards are not organized in a logical manner; they're just thrown together in no particular order. This is not helpful if you want to focus on a particular subject area.

Unless you're VERY pressed for time, you will probably be best served by making your own index cards.

Helped Me !
I found the book helpful. As stated in the preface of the book, this should be used as a companion to other comprehensive text books. It saved me a lot of time. Index cards were absolutely great. I recommeded it.
Terrible editing and erronious information
Now that I have just completed the April 15th MCAT, I can take a breather... but I would like to give a word of advice to those considering this book: Don't waste your money. In addition to poor editing and grade-school level explanations and definitions, I can honestly say that nearly 1 in 10 cards contained incorrect information. The stereochemistry graphics were ludicrous and thrown together in a very sloppy manner. The science practice questions in the back of this book were about as useful as Basketweaving 101 would be for the MCAT. Of all review materials I came across, the 2000 Kaplan Comprehensive MCAT Review and the Columbia Review MCAT Practice Tests were by far the most beneficial (I also own the Columbia Review Intensive MCAT Review book, which is a bit more detailed than Kaplan, and the Kaplan Practice tests). If you have the ability to get your hands on Kaplan's review cards from someone who is enrolled in the class, DO IT. Those cards are excellent but hard to come by. Good luck!
