I've used the EK review books and my text books as my primary review source and the big Kaplan book as sort of secondary, except for in ochem. I've noticed that, for bio at least, often times EK tells you flat out to not worry about the details of such and such but when I read the corresponding Kaplan material it goes into greater depth than EK did with explaining such details. Is EK too brief in bio or just right in giving you what you need?
 
Awesome, thanks guys. Yeah, I use my old texts quite a bit; I'm always big on getting a broader understanding even if it does involve reading more than I have to and takes more time. I'm using mainly EK and the aamc tests too so it's good to hear you were pleased with your prep. 🙂
 
I would not trust EK if you feel weak in any particular area tested on the MCAT. However, if you are confortable with all the sciences and reading comp. then EK is great for review.
