I'm taking my exam august 9th. I think I have 3 weeks after my kaplan class ends before my test. With a kaplan class, everyone does the same work, but people get very different scores. How do I maximize what I'm putting in to get more out of it?
Also, with kaplan i have about 12 kaplan full...
Hi guys,
I'm thinking about buying the TBR 2013 science books, but I currently have the 2016 Kaplan books. What're your thoughts? Should I buy TBR or just stick with Kaplan?
I sit for my exam Aug 10 (60 days and 10 hours to be exact.. but who's counting!?)
I am about to finish typing the 100 page Kahn P/S notes tomorrow and start reviewing using anki very soon. I have Kaplan books but I'm not sure how to use them. Should I read them and take notes just on parts I...
Hi all,
I currently have Kaplan 2016 MCAT study books and looking into buying TBR 2016-2017 MCAT prep books from ebay. I'm applying to medical school (hopefully) next year. Am I good with some "older" prep books or should I invest more money into 2018-2019 ones?
Thanks
I am writing this in response to anyone looking for study material. I took my DAT on May 30th and did what I would consider pretty darn good. I would have to say contrary to popular belief DAT destroyer was useless. I order the book went through all the problems and felt as if i learned...
I scored a 495 on the diagnostic and I test in 12 days... Last AAMC FL I took was a month ago and scored a 500. I KNOW AAMC IS MORE PREDICTIVE but how can I interpret this score? I am looking for a 505
on the real deal.
Question I am asking: What did you get on Kaplan Diagnostic, what have you...

Hi, I've been reviewing the Kaplan 2015 MCAT bundle in excruciating detail and have been doing the Question bundle from AAMC. I know Kaplan is a lot of info but I know it really well do you think I would need to use other materials FOR CONTENT (not testing)? Sorry if this has been asked before...
Hey everyone! Whats the best way to study and prepare for the new MCAT? I do not have a very strong foundation in any of the sciences because I am a nontraditional student and took most of the classes a few years ago at a community college. I am not sure where to start.. Kaplan, Exam Krackers...
I've decided to dedicate the whole summer to studying for the MCAT and I'm trying to find the best resources. Unsurprisingly, most of my pre-med friends are no longer pre-med and the ones that have taken the MCAT have differing opinions about the review books and classes. Plus the sample size...
I have 2016 The Berkeley Review books for content.
I purchased the Kaplan self-study passages, which is kind of like an online qbank for the new MCAT. They also come in the Kaplan courses.
The passages are ridiculously hard compared to TBR, for me at least. I am scoring 55-60% on the Kaplan...
Hey everyone
I have not started doing full lengths but I will soon.
How many Full Lengths do you think I should squeeze in before my Exam (August hopefully)?
Also, I know AAMC has a couple of full length exams but where else would I be able to purchase more full lengths realistic to the MCAT...
Just a quick question
I know that the MCAT is more about UNDERSTANDING rather than MEMORIZING.
However, do we have to memorize for formulas for Planck relation (E=hf) or angular momentum (L=nh/2pi).
Yes, they are not too hard to memorize but I just want to know how much details I should know...
Hello all! I am thinking about what prep materials to use for my MCAT test date at the end of this summer. I was wondering what everyone or anyone thinks of Gold Standard MCAT prep materials. Has anyone used them in the past and had success? If anyone is currently studying with Kaplan or TPR...
I, like many medical students, used the internet as a resource when trying to determine what study materials to use when studying for the Step exams. In doing so, I came across the Kaplan vs Uworld Qbank debate multiple times. I only used Uworld for Step 1 (ended up with a 259), and I also used...
Hey everyone,
I have Barron's DAT prep 2nd edition and Kaplan DAT 8th edition for sale. Both are in very good condition because I did most of the work on separate notebooks. I am just trying to get rid of them so I can be really flexible with the price. I can also send you pictures of their...

I'm scheduled to take the MCAT September 1st, which means I have roughly 4 months to study for the exam. I haven't started any MCAT study as of yet. Im going to do a few weeks of self studying starting tomorrow and do the princeton review ultimate in class course next month and complete a few...
Hi everyone,
I'm starting to study now for my PCAT this July (for admission in 2019-2020), and im wondering, is it enough to get the 2017-2018 or 2016-2017 books to study? Specifically Kaplan, but I might look into other prep books. I'm not sure if the test has changed considerably in the last...
Hey guys,
I recently purchased an in-class Kaplan course for the MCAT, but I just found out that they did not have any plans to send me the 7 subject review book until I reminded them (turns out they didn't have my address on file for some reason).
For those of you who took this or are taking...
Hi SDN! I am done with the MCAT and ready to pass on my materials. Some of these books I used more than others, but nearly all of them are in excellent condition (see details below). I would much prefer to sell these books in bundles. If you reeeeally want to pick and choose let me know and I...
Hey guys, selling my TBR books that I used for my test a couple months ago. I bought them last year at their location in Berkeley. I highlighted one page and a few words(maybe 10) here and there. Pretty much unmarked books. Here is the Ebay page where I have them posted.

I took my diagnostic Kaplan about a month ago and was happy with the result (504), but assumed it was some sort of fluke. After a month of light studying (I'm still a full time student and haven't made enough time to study MCAT) I took my first full length and got a 504. I suppose my question...
If anyone has used a review course for CS or have heard from friends, could you share your opinions?
I'm an IMG planning to take CS in Houston later this year and I was considering a review course to avoid failing.
I've read conflicting reviews about Gold's. The only other one I'm aware of is...
Hi Guys!
I've recently moved to the area and am looking for colleagues who are also studying for the MCAT right now. Though I feel like I work faster during self-study, but having a partner or group to review practice tests and difficult questions can create way more efficient review process...
These materials helped me study for the DAT! Now I'm a D2 and I realized these books can help another student out there. Private message me for pricing.

Instead of studying, I procrastinated and made an predictive model for predicting your MCAT score using Kaplan test scores, based on previous test taker data (source provided in app).
My R shiny skills are crap, so the app is pretty basic.
I'm new so I'm jerry-rigging the URL to bypass the...
Hey everyone! I recently took the PCAT and am interested in selling some of the materials I used to receive a competitive score and help me get into a top 15 program. I paid over $500 for all of these materials and am willing to sell at a competitive price. All are in excellent condition! Let me...
Hey friends,
Just wanted to know what study material you guys think is best for the MCAT, and what has worked well in your opinions. I was thinking of buying the Kaplan 7 book set (the newest version) but I've been hearing a lot of complaints about lack of proofreading and too many errors...
Hi Everyone,
I'm trying to get rid of these books as I have no need for them after finishing the MCAT. I took the 2015 test with these books and I did well enough to apply to many schools. I know the value of these books have depreciated, but the content is still applicable. As long as you...
Hey everyone! This is my first SDN post so apologies for any mistakes on my part and thanks for stopping by.
So I'm in the nascent stages of MCAT preparation right now, just about to start major content review. I decided on using the Kaplan 7-Subject pack as my main source, but after doing a...
I'm confused about two statements made in the Kaplan books:
"Anions always move towards the anode,
and cations always move toward the cathode."
"Electrons always flow through the wire from the anode to the cathode
and current (protons) flows from cathode to anode."
But isn't an electron an...
