Hi everyone, I am currently looking to purchase 2016/2017 Berkeley Review books, particularly for Physics, Gen Chem, OChem, and Biology (both books for each subject). Please let me know if you are selling any of these (as well as the Psychology and/or CARS). Thanks!

I am selling all my MCAT prep books from earlier this year which I used to get a 509+. I am selling everything for WAY less than I bought it for--EK books are in excellent condition and contain NO MARKED PASSAGES AND QUESTIONS (though some books have highlights in the content review sections)...

Hi SDN, I unfortunately will not have a full summer available to prep for the MCAT, so I was wondering if you guys would have any advice for preparing over the course of a regular semester (I'm anticipating being able to spare about 5-8h/wk for prep) plus winter break (when I will be able to...

The most difficult thing for most students is to know where to actually start. Once you design your own MCAT schedule and organize your time, all you have to do is stick to your plans and you are half-way there! Just click on any of the links below to get started: When is the best time to take...

I have a large stack of MCAT Prep Books that have never been used. My husband got them to take the MCAT and then due to unforeseen circumstances had to stop. They are in perfect condition. They are for the updated MCAT but were printed in 2015. Let me know if you would like to make an offer...

Hi, SDN! I'll be taking the MCAT in August, and I've already signed up for the in-person Princeton Review course that starts in June and ends at the beginning of August. The PR course meets Monday through Thursday for 3 hours each day for a total of 102-105 hours. Until the date the PR course...

Hi Pre-Meds! I am looking to sell my Kaplan Book Set (7 books, all the subjects) for $40! The books are in great condition. I also have the high-yield problem solving guide that I can throw in, but it has some writing in it! Please comment if you're interested and we can go from there! They are...

So by a (happy) accident, I got access to both the Kaplan 3rd Edition and 2nd Edition online practice exams. Does anyone know if the exams differ enough from version to version that taking all six exams instead of just the three from the 3E would be useful?

Howdy folks, First off, sorry if this has been covered elsewhere on the site; I searched and couldn't find anything, but I'm also relatively new to SDN. I'm going to take the MCAT May 19th and I'm about to dig into my study. I bought the 6 book Kaplan set but after doing a bit of work out of...

Hey, I'm trying to wrap my head around how to prep for the MCAT. From what I gather so far, EK is really good for concise review and Kaplan is more detailed, but provides more practice questions (is this correct?). I think I'll end up settling for one of the two. Also, is it correct to assume...

Hi, I am looking for reviews or references for the program run by Leah at Leah4Sci.com. She gives a TON of free resources that I find very helpful as she has a way of breaking down topics that is clear and easy to follow. I took the MCAT this past October and scored below average :( In...

I'm sure a similar question has been asked before, but I have taken the pre-reqs out of the usual order because of my major. Here are the classes I've taken so far (I just finished my first semester as freshman): Calc II Phys I Chm I Eng and Comp I Where should I go from here in terms of...

So, I've applied to the local university in my area to take some in-person classes, definitely biochemistry and probably a few other sciences courses (human anatomy and toxicology maybe) to help myself get back in the school mode and prep for MCAT. Also, I've seen Biochemistry become less and...

I am in my senior year, and I am 5 credit hours away from graduation with all of the prerequisites for my state school. I have a 3.86 GPA with a 3.89 science GPA. I am pretty confident in my test-taking abilities, but I plan to take the Kaplan MCAT prep course. The medical school at my...

Should I keep my textbooks from college for the new MCAT or strictly use MCAT prep books?

Selling 2 sets of MCAT prep materials and Official AAMC Flashcards - a few of the books are never used, the rest are gently used with only pencil writing for practice questions/exams (if any). Examkrackers may have text corrections in pen based off the official EK corrections guide, original...

I am probably over a year away from taking MCAT (contemplating Jan 2018), and while I really want to be systematic in getting myself well-prepared, I am not really sure how to start. Basically, I am thinking of 1st reviewing foundational science coursework before tackling MCAT-specific material...

1st post, so please bear with me; current junior, overall GPA 3.8; science 3.9; planning on taking MCAT early/mid 2017, just beginning prep; feel like I'm pretty strong in sciences, wondering how others have approached CARS component (seems like this will be my most challenging area)...

Hi everyone, I'm in a bit of a predicament and I'm not entirely sure what I should do about it. I'm taking my MCAT August 5th (which is roughly 3 weeks away) and I 100% know I'm not ready to take it. I've barely studied for it because this summer turned out to have a lot of unexpected things...

Is it a good idea to take the MCAT even though I haven't taken physics, biochem, and soc yet? Which prep books are the best to buy that teaches these 3 subjects very well to get a good enough score on the MCAT since I haven't even take those 3 classes yet?

Hey SDN family, For the last 3 months, I've been enrolled in a Kaplan course and have been doing light review. I am currently at the one month mark with my MCAT scheduled for May 20. Here is my plan for the home stretch. Week 1: Do 2 full lengths and do a final review of the...

I plan on self-studying for the MCAT this summer for the September exam with a 4 month schedule using mostly TBR material. I'm also taking a summer biochem course that meets 4 times a week for 6 weeks (each class is 2 hours long) and for the second half of the summer, I'll be taking a lab class...

Hey everyone, I am currently scheduled to take my MCAT on May 20. I have been enrolled in a Kaplan course for the last 2 months or so but with school and research and work, I've done only the minimum of prep and review on top of my course. Thankfully, classes will be over on April 28 and that...

Hey guys. I'm in a really rough place with my MCAT prep, which I didn't think would happen. I'm enrolled in a Kaplan classroom course, and since the start of the course, have taken the diagnostic and the first two full lengths. I received a 501 on my diagnostic, but sequentially went down two...

Hey guys, I'm taking Kaplan's full length #2 as part of my course this Saturday. Can anyone comment on what's it's like, how predictive it is, and their experiences? If it's any use, I got a 501 on the diagnostic.

Hello all, I am currently in a postodoctoral position at a top tier university. To say the least, it's in a completely new field, but am doing well. I am interested in taking the MCATs within the next year. Has anyone ever tried this? I Is there any advice out there? Things to know about...

Hello everyone, I am preparing to take the MCAT at the beginning of 2017. I have one more semester to take a couple extra classes. To anyone that has taken the NEW MCAT, or anyone who has good info, what are the best courses besides the required courses. I am deciding between a physiology course...
