Test Prep, Admissions and Guidance. For life. Kaplan has helped more than 3 million students achieve their educational and career goals. With 185 centers and more than 1,200 classroom locations throughout the United States and abroad, Kaplan provides a full range of services, including test preparation courses, admissions consulting, programs for international students, professional licensing preparation, and more.
If you're up to medical school, you will already have surmounted substantial scholastic challenges and accomplished considerable scholastic success; you're no stranger to concepts such as hard work, study, and competition. It's not a matter of whether to review for the MCATs, but rather how to study and with which materials. Kaplan has created the top MCAT course. They know which material needs to be reviewed, and they know the strategies that help you take the Medical College Admission Test most effectively. The MCAT requires that you be well versed in biology and basic chemistry, and, toward that end, Kaplan's review includes refresher chapters in embryology, homeostasis, and molecular genetics, as well as thermochemistry, atomic structure, and the gas phase. The organic chemistry chapter goes over everything from nomenclature to spectroscopy, while the chapter on physics covers magnetism, Newtonian mechanics, and nuclear phenomena. The MCAT tests more, however, than your knowledge base. Medical schools can look at your transcripts if they want to know how you did in organic chemistry. The schools want to know how well you have integrated what you learned, and how well you can apply that knowledge. The MCAT tests cognitive skills such as reading comprehension, data analysis, critical reasoning, and writing ability, so Kaplan's chapters on verbal reasoning and essay writing are every bit as important as your comprehension of the endocrine system. With answers and explanations in each science review chapter, a full-length practice MCAT with answers and explanations, and a CD-ROM that provides a timed practice test, detailed scoring analysis, and a personalized performance prep, Kaplan's MCAT review text will help you perform well, demonstrate what you've learned effectively, and continue on toward your goal. --Stephanie Gold

As a recent medical school graduate, I believe this book is the best there is for developing a sound fund of knowledge for the MCAT and for learning great tips/tricks on test taking that will last you for years to come.
Since I didn't have and extra $1000-$2000 lying around to take the Kaplan course, I decided to buy this book along with the workbook for more questions. The Review book is thorough enough to cover all the topics you need to know without being boring or over-detailed. ... Read More

This book looks very thorough and perfect for MCAT studies but do not be fooled by the looks. If you want to get higher scores, do use Kaplan material or classes. There are many reasons for this.
I am taking my MCAT in April 2006 and I bought this book. I compared it with the 1997 edition and surprisingly everything is same except the questions after each chapter. The material in this book is just recycled and not updated.
The material is too vague and too easy compared ... Read More

I did very well on the MCATs, and I attribute a large degree of my success to this review book. While it's important to have a solid base from your classes already, this book will make sure you know every topic covered on the MCATs, including areas my classes had left out (e.g. optics in the physical science section). It covers all sections well, includes test strategies and practice problems/essays, and if you take the time to thoroughly study the book, it will pay off. My only warning is that ... Read More

The best advice i can give any future pre-meds is to listen to this review. Kaplan is the worst mcat prep out there. First, they recyle their materials every year so it's the same thing never updated despite what they say. Their science is just all thrown in there without telling you what is imperative knowledge. Their verbal practice is horrible and not accurate of the real thing. Also, stay away from their class and if you really need to pick a prep course go with Princeton Review they give you 3x ...
