Format:Paperback
MCAT is unfamiliar to us in Britain: it stands for the Medical Colleges' Admission Test which wannabe doctors take throughout the US and Canada. It is obviously a very competitive test and sets high standards. The book models itself on the test. It contains about 36 passages with 5-9 questions on each. It is suitable for people preparing to enter difficult professions, not just medical school. I used it to tutor someone for pilot recruitment tests. He passed.
We both searched bookshops and the web for challenging material. It is difficult to find suitable material at this high level. I recommend this book for that reason, though I do have some reservations. The presentation is unattractive: grey, cheap paper, with small print. Even worse, there are some errors such as answers being wrongly numbered, and some answers being wrong ,by my reasoning. (By the way, my copy has 137 pages not 256 as stated.)
I still recommend it because it is useful and at a good standard.

MCAT Verbal Reasoning Review
27 July 2000
Format:Paperback
The book specifically test #2 is filled with errors. There are duplicate question numbers, skipped answer numbers, and some of the answers are flat out incorrect. It makes it very frustrating when attemping to study.

Don't Waste Your Money!
24 Feb 2001
Format:Paperback
This book is a waste of money. There are many errors in it which makes studying very difficult and frustrating. The questions also appear easier than those on actual MCAT practice tests, which gives you an inaccurate self-evaluation. Do not purchase this book--you will wish you didn't!

Not just for wannabe doctors
10 Oct 2001
Format:Paperback
There are a lot of practice passages - about 36. The answers are generally explained quite well and in detail but the book has a lot of errors such as answers being wrongly numbered. I also thought some of the answers were just plain wrong. But it is not easy to find material that is hard enough to practise for entry into difficult professions. These examples are hard enough. (In fact, I'm more impressed with doctors' brains than I was before!) I thought it was challenging and useful though I did skip the science based passages because I was using it to tutor someone who wanted to be a pilot not a doctor. I searched the web for suitable material; it was surprisingly difficult to find much aimed at this level. So I recommend this one to you. It is one of three books that I bought. (The Columbia Review MCAT Verbal Reasoning Powerbuilder by Stephen D Bresnick and William H Bresnick was also useful). My student got through. What more can I say?
