This MCAT review book is all it claims to be. The author provides some excellent advice for improving verbal reasoning. But this is not last minute advice; some of the techniques require eight or nine months of practice. No magic here! Just hard work!

However, you need to devote 8 months to your improve your reading comprehension if you are going to use this book.

I'm still practicing a lot, but I wish I had the full 8 months to really prepare.
