Great service and product! I looked around for awhile before I was able to find this book.

There are so many errors in this book it's laughable. They have a forum on their website that tries to give corrections, but it's so badly organized that I spend more time looking for the corrections than I do doing the test itself. It reads like it's been written by a non-native English speaker. I'm using a Kaplan book that's infinately better.

This book is full of errors. The Examkrackers website has a forum for errata, but you have to pay for an "Elite" membership to access it. Ridiculous.
The answer explanations are often incoherent and the answers they deem correct make you question your sanity. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-07-07 08:43:51 EST)

My ExamKrackers 1001 MCAT Biology Questions book came in a short time in brand new condition. I enjoy that it provides both passage and open-ended biology questions just like the real MCAT!!

I think this was a great purchase.. I'm using it to supplement my princeton rev coursework. The questions seem to be written in a style most closely mimicking the actual MCAT's bio section and I actually feel like I've learned and accomplished a lot as I look over the answer key.

You will improve everytime you solve problems on this book. Very solid contents with passages that are really going to help you on the MCAT. Although I think they are harder than the real MCAT problems (some questions are vague) you will learn alot by doing it rather than reading it.

If you have the time to go through 1001 questions, then this is the book you're looking for to prepare for the MCAT Bio section. What I liked about it is that it contains both passages-based and discrete questions. In fact, I'd recommend all the 1001 Examkrackers books.

This book is by far the best in terms of MCAT biology prep. Other companies overwhelm readers with facts and irrelevant information, while Examkrackers gives you what you need to know, and provides you with "1001 questions" in MCAT passage-style form to ensure that you know more than just the science: you also know how to take the MCAT.
There are a few errors in the book, but to be honest, they are small and obvious; there is no confusion about correct answers etc. Such is the reasoning for my awarding 4 instead of 5 stars. (Review Data Last Updated: 2008-02-13 20:30:29 EST)

I used the entire book for MCAT preparation. I took the MCAT. The questions in this book were NOTHING like the MCAT. Don't waste your money on this book. More importantly, don't waste your time on this book.

I don't know whether the material presented is factually wrong as alleged by a previous reviewer. However, I did all of the questions in this book and found NUMEROUS errors in the answer key. I would say that at least 5% of time, the answer key did not match the information provided in the detailed answer key. I am not aware of any other MCAT question based study guide specifically for biology so I went ahead the finished this book.

I bought this book looking for a good passage-based practice for the biology section of the MCAT. From my experience with the book 101 passages in Verbal Reasoning, I was impressed with Examkracker's accurate represenation of real MCAT questions. However, I soon found numerous errors in the questions used in this book, and I confirmed that they were wrong with several physiology and biology professors. From that point, I gave up on the book, because it caused more harm than good.

I personally know the author and he was a shlubb in college. Whatever techniques he used to take the MCAT must have worked because he aced the thing and got into med school. Plus he is a hottie. Get this book, it works, the author is proof positive.

This book was great practice for the MCAT. Most questions are passage based (like the actual MCAT) and I found many to be as difficult as the real thing. It's also a great tool for learning the material, which should be used as a supplement to a general biology textboook. By the end of the book, you end up having a good feel for the topics that are most likely to appear on the MCAT. This book is by far the best MCAT bio prep out there.

Examkrackers did a fantastic job with this book! Each chapter is basically its own MCAT biology section...in other words there are both passages and free response questions. The only difference between this and the real biological sciences test is that each chapter in this book has roughly 111 questions whereas the actual exam has 77 questions spread between Organic Chemistry and Biology. Definitely consider this book for your studies, it's quite thorough.

This book contains 101 MCAT Biology passages and 1001 questions overall. No other book I used to prepare for the exam simulated the real test as this text. My biological sciences score jumped 4 points to a 13 from the first time I took the MCAT. In fact I recommend the entire ExamKracker series.
