Hi guy, retaking MCAT.

I been using ExamCracker 101 passage for verbal, and ExamCracker for biology, and self-study chemistry and physics.

I think I can get more help with verbal (I got a 9), and might want to at least boast a point on my biological and physical science (13, and 12).

do you guy recommend Kaplan study material? I have a lot of friend who signed up for Kaplan, but I lacked the money to pay 1500 cash for the entire review course. Do they sell the practice material separately? or I have to buy it from someone else?

The stuff you can get at Barnes and Noble etc. is pretty much the same review material.
When students take the Kaplan course, I think they sign some paper stating they WILL NOT resell their books. So technically, you can't but many people I know resold.

Right. And Kaplan is serious about that; the paper states that the books technically still belong to Kaplan. They are free to reclaim them at any time, though they never do as far as I know unless former students try to sell them.

Anyway, OP, get the home study books from your local bookstore if you want more materials. And please don't post threads on SDN asking to buy or sell proprietary materials from any of the test prep companies (including the AAMC). to you. 🙂
