Does anyone have any Exam Krackers MCAT books or Berkeley Review books? I need to start studying for the MCATs and I was wondering if anyone has them available for sale. Also for those of you who have taken the test, any advice?

 

i'd recommend taking as many practice tests as you can and schedule a whole day to take a full length test.

you can sometimes be overwhelmed by the length of the testing day.
build up some endurance over time.

 

I was so into the Zen of preparation. I did so many practice tests it was ridiculous. I took even did them the few weeks before the test in the room the test was going to be administered in.

I took the princeton review course which helped me alot.

But Dr. Suave is right, practice tests are where it's at. ,

 

practice? we don't need no stinking practice.

oh... yeah. I did practice. I did like 20 timed MCAT exams before the actual test.

 

MCAT - Gawd do I NOT miss those days.

Practice tests are the key. I didn't do it the first time and ended up running out of steam. I retook it after a whole bunch of practice tests and did much better.

 

Thanks for the advice guys.

 

I took the Berkeley Review course and highly recommend it. The proprietors are also the teachers.

 

I'm in Hawaii so unfortunately I can't take the course. Do you still have your books left?

 

I am going to have to go against the norm here and say practice tests dont really matter. I did passages exclusively and that got me a 33 with only studying for the Physical Sciences test(I had a 13 V 12 P and 8 Bio)

I am planning on taking it again in January and I don't think I can pull off another 13 in VR but I am actually going to STUDY for all of the sections this time around!

 

Unfortunately, they're at my parents place in CA and I'm in NC.
