It's been recommended b4 yes - I purchased some lsat tests...but i haven't used them yet so i can't tell you how helpful they r.

This question often comes up. LSAT (GRE, SAT) passages are the wrong style, wrong type of questions, etc.. Between Examkrackers, TPR and Kaplan and AAMC you should be able to find enough MCAT passages to keep you busy for a while.

Really? I thought the comprehension passages were good practice for ppl struggling with the "main idea!!!".

If you have the Examkrackers VR book, I'd suggest carefully working through their VR chapters, then going back and applying these ideas to MCAT VR passages you have already done as well as new passages.

In there, they discuss the problems with the idea that "reading more material is good." In my experience as an MCAT student and teacher, they are right on; their whole VR method is the best out there. (I'm sure others might disagree with me, but that's fine. I am not an employee of EK, and I do not get any money or small valuable gifts by recommending their products. I just think they're really good.)

You can read anything and try to pick out the main idea. The Atlantic is fine. Scientific American is fine. Newspaper editorials are fine. There is no need to buy LSAT materials. As EK points out, if you have 4-5 years to prepare for the MCAT, go ahead, read more. But if you have less than 2 months, your studying and preparation should be focused on MCAT materials and MCAT questions.

Think of it like an athletic event: you wouldn't prepare for the 100 meter sprint primarily by running long slow distance runs in the 2 months prior to the Olympics. You would be training specifically for your event.

Actually I have been suggested and recommended to do LSAT question by someone... and he is not just someone random but someone who actually got a 44 on the MCAT (pretty sick)... and this is not a joke or tick to get people...
