Warning for buyers: be aware that the Examkrackers (EK) 10th ed. verbal reasoning book may be repeating pages 85-102, and missing pages 102-121. I purchased this package from "Dirtcheapbooks4u" and it arrived with damage and had the defective verbal reasoning book just described in the sentence above. I'm not sure if this is a manufacturer error where these defective books are being dished off in bulk to third party companies or if it was just a random fluke. I made EK aware of the issue and their 10th edition in stock seems to be fixed.Now for the differences between EK 9th and 10th editions; The 10th edition fixes many mistakes from the 9th edition, thus saving an individual a days worth of correcting errors from the EK errata.I would like to address the 3 biggest changes;1) The actual text of the 10th ed. biology 1 book, now labeled "biochemistry" instead of "biomolecules" has included some more extensive research and content.2) The Psychology & Sociology book in the 10th ed. has been amplified with more terms and sufficient content.3) The five science books now have updated 30-minute exams. Instead of just 3 passages, it is now 4 passages and 5 discrete questions per chapter exam. The first 3 passages of the science books are no different from the 9th and 10th ed.The other four books; Physics, Chemistry, Biology 2, and Verbal Reasoning seem to be nearly 85% identical to the 9th edition. I will note that the verbal reasoning strategy has had some changes that were noticeable, especially in chapter 4. Basically, EK seems to have updated their verbal strategy. I would just be cautious and check the 10th ed. verbal book to make sure you don't receive a defective. Overall, the 10th addition has been revamped and corrected for precision and accuracy. Excellent investment for quick content coverage.
Originally I received the set missing pages 103-120 as stated by the previous reviewer in the verbal book. But, sent me a replacement order and the problem was fixed. These books are beautiful with such great photos!
Decent set, though a bit too simple for those who need a serious brush-up on MCAT science. Would recommend to my students ONLY if they have a solid background in the test science already. Very succinct, very picture oriented. NOT recommended for those who learn by reading or who like comprehensive review.
Very brief explanations. Gets the point down but I feel like it's not in depth enough. Studying for my MCAT in January so we will see the results. Will update then.
This is an initial rating/review for the package since I haven't had time to thoroughly look through the material. Books arrived in new condition, earlier than expected. Also, I checked the Verbal book for the errors as mentioned in some of the other reviews, and I haven't found them. It appears Examkrackers has resolved it since then and we're getting the right copies now. I've heard good things about this study set so I'm excited (actually dreaded) to get started. Should I come across anything major, I'll revise this review but for now, good buy!
I have only looked at 2 sections and I can already tell you that it's missing a lot of content. For example, there is no section about Henry's Law in Chemistry. In biology, there is no discussion about stabilizing, directional, or disruptive selection. In the psych section it's missing a lot of psychological disorders such as schizoid disorder. I have yet to open the physics book. Since the AAMC officially endorsed Khan Academy, it's safe to say their videos have a lot more content than what's discussed in these books. Once I go through more chapters, I'll write an updated review
It is too similar to the 9th Edition. If you have the 9th do not buy. It has a couple of more passages but the questions inside the lectures and the lectures itself are almost identical.
Came real quickly although the expected delivery was in September. Everything was new as indicated. Thank you.
