This book explains the most effective strategy for scoring well on the MCAT verbal reasoning section. It is the same strategy used by the author, who scored a perfect score on that same section.

The book also contains a brief discussion on math techniques that you should use when taking the MCAT, such as rounding, graphs, and proportions. Three 30 minute verbal exams are included in the back of the book. It is recomended that you purchase more verbal exams with which to practice.

Rating:  - what's all this hype about?
This book is not worth more than $10. First they try to sound impressive by saying "I got a 15 on verbal, na na na!", attacking other prep companies, and saying "LISTEN TO US!!"

Rating:  - Great little book!

Rating: - It works
I tried using the strategies of another large test prep company (the one I work for now, actually) and the best I could do after 3 months was a 9. After 2 weeks with this book, I was regularly getting an 11, and that's what I got on the MCAT. If I had just picked up this book earlier, I probably would've gotten 12+.
Bottom line: If you're taking a TPR/Kaplan course right now, forget what your verbal teacher says and just go by this book.

Rating:  - A Very Nice Guide
This is a very good book when you want to start working on the MCAT's verbal section. However, it does not have enough passages to practice.
