I'm planning to study for my MCAT and decided to buy EK and Berkeley Review. Here are my questions:

1. Why is it that EK website (7th Edition) Examkrackers Complete MCAT Study Package for $174 while on Amazon its for $110. This one is selling it for $110. http://www.amazon.com/Examkrackers-Mcat-Complete-Study-Package/dp/1893858499%3FSubscriptionId%3D1KMMY7PDAEAN0EBZ84G2%26tag%3Dwholehogbookstor%26linkCode%3Dxm2%26camp%3D2025%26creative%3D165953%26creativeASIN%3D1893858499 I'm new to Amazon and not sure if its safe or anything.http://www.amazon.com/Examkrackers-...=2025&creative=165953&creativeASIN=1893858499

2. Where do people buy Berkeley Review study guide??? Is this is the only website where people actually buy it??? http://www.berkeley-review.com/ Is it safe since you have to send in money order etc.

​

Thanks

Both are safe. BR's website is just completely unprofessional. Some people also buy their books through the For Sale section on here: http://forums.studentdoctor.net/forumdisplay.php?f=230

Amazon is the largest online retailer in America. Very reliable, and I've been using it for years.

And I've yet to hear any significant complaints about TBR. Yes, it looks like they hired a 5th grader to make their website using HTML 1.0... but they are reliable and their products are second to none.

Why is it that amazon is selling EK product soo much cheaper than the EK themselves???

Amazon buys in bulk and sells many more copies than EK. Also, sometimes stores buy and sell through amazon and they're just looking to clear their shelves. Amazon is really reliable though as is the TBR website. The TBR website and process is a headache and you have to order a month or two before you start studying but they will make sure you end up with what you ordered.

Hope this helps,
