Book Reviews of Examkrackers MCAT Verbal Reasoning & Mathematical Techniques (Examkrackers Mcat)
Book Review: what's all this hype about?
Summary: 2 Stars
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!!" They actually yell at you while you're reading. Impertinence! Then they basically tell you to try really hard during VR. Thanks for that gem. Then their main advice for improving your score is, "understand the main idea of the passage." Duh. They actually tell you to ignore the details. Perfect way to drop your score about 3 pts, as 1-2 Q's/pssg is detail based. Then they try to give you a bunch of useless test-taking techniques which any college student would have picked after freshman year, and which will only slow you down during testing if you have to think of them. (i.e. avoid simple answers or distractors to narrow the choices so you can improve your guessing efficiency). All common sense.
Perhaps my perspective is skewed having gone through a college course in philosophy on argumental analysis before looking at this, and so I can score 11's off the bat. The main idea of this book is, 'buy our verbal 101 and practice for about 4 months.' Useless. I would advise you not to waste time on this book or verbal 101. Pick up a book on inference and implication in the philosophy section of your local library and study that, then take the Kaplan and AAMC practice exams to get your feet wet. And then place confidence in yourself, not EK.
