In my opinion, doing well on the MCAT requires practice, practice, practice. After using other books to re-learn all of the topics, I spent the last few weeks of my study time doing test after test. This Sterling test prep book was excellent. Each section is set up like the MCAT - passage based questions with a few freestanding questions sprinkled in. The answer explanations at the back of the book are also excellent. The most frustrating thing to experience is when you get a question wrong, but you don't understand WHY you got the question wrong - Sterling test prep materials ensure that never happens again. Their customer service department is also excellent. I emailed them in a panic because I really didn't understand the logic behind one of their answers (Page 252. Question 40). They emailed me back the next day with a very detailed description, acknowledged the answer was incorrect, and even paid me a "reward" for finding this error. My only wish is that they had a psychology/sociology test prep book available at the time I was studying - hopefully something to come in the future.
Great value. Solid content and meaningful explanations. This book really helped me do well on the recent MCAT exam. Great scores.
As someone who has already taken the 2015 mcat in June, I feel these practice tests do not represent the actual mcat exams. The questions on the real exam require more "thinking" as most passages are heavily focused on understanding concepts and "complex" research data. The practices tests in this book is a good practice for knowledge understanding, but not great for the actual exam.Btw, I was disappointed with pretty much all the companies as the real mcat is more difficult than any practice i have taken, and especially the psych/soc section.I recommend strongly buying the actual practice aamc exam and take it and get a good feel, even though it is still easier than the actual exam.Best of luck
Took the April 17, 2015 exam and very pleased with my results. I study hard and used this book to ensure that I was ready for test day. I used their online platform to time my responses and to sort questions by topics and difficulty. I had used the discrete questions books that I borrowed from a friend and knew this was the product for me because it had passages to practice and a variety of test topics are integrated into the material. I like the layout of the book, the specificity of detail from the actual questions and the clear and complete explanations. Explanations really focused me on what I needed to spend more time reviewing. I was well-practiced, prepared and confident on test-day because I spent the time to do the drills to simulate the actual exam. I really feel that I had an edge over people that did not use solid practice materials for the new MCAT.
Great practice passages for the MCAT 2015. I used the book to focus on passages and the associated data interpretation. Great questions associated with the passages and solutions were very helpful. Happy with the learning from using this book. I used some other books that my roommates had and I think this was the best among all that I reviewed as preparation for the MCAT 2015. The book was well written and helped me analyze data and improve my comprehension of science passages.
Great book. Passages are good length and difficulty compared to my past experience with the MCAT. I thought my prior preparation was good but now I feel more prepared from using this book. Explanations were good to review the material that I was having difficulty with. My friend recommended the book and online component and I'm glad that I bought it.
I found this book very helpful because it provided passages which allowed me to practice and apply the concepts I learned in preparing for the MCAT. I feel that the passages were well written and the questions appropriate for the level of understanding needed for the MCAT. There was a range of difficulty for the questions and for the concepts tested within the materials. Included were discrete questions which means the practice tests simulate the MCAT experience. The detailed explanations to the questions both explained the differences between the answer choices and provided a review of the relevant topics. Also, the online resources that are available with the book allowed me to take questions under timed conditions and then view a detailed diagnostic report to focus on areas where I want to spend more time preparing. From the online reports to the tests I took, I was able to sort the questions by difficulty and topics which were both in helping me study. I was also able to generate a scaled score based upon my answers to the questions. Overall, I am very happy with the book and recommend it to others.
Great practice for MCAT 2015. The passages are varied with different subjects from the new mcat and a good variety of topics tested from the associated questions. What I liked about the passages is that they required me to apply skills such as data interpretation and laboratory techniques to solve the problems. This is what the new MCAT emphases. Very satisfied with the practice I received from using this book. I found the microbiology and immunology passages a great representation of data analysis needed for the 2015 version. You cannot do too many practice questions and/or passages and this book will give you practice with passages (and some discrete questions) within the 8 full length science sample tests. I already recommended the book to a few friends.
