Hey guys, I am sorry if you have already discussed it 100 times.
I was going to buy some EK books and can't figure out which.
I understand that EK verbal is great and Bio and G-Chem.
So, should I buy this book (does it cover all subjects)
Examkrackers McAt: Complete Study Package (Examkrackers)
http://www.studentdoctor.net/bookstore/index.php?mode=Books&item=1893858367

or would I be better off with buying for each subject separately:
Examkrackers 101 Passages in MCAT Verbal Reasoning (Examkrackers)

http://www.studentdoctor.net/bookstore/index.php?mode=Books&item=1893858243

and
Examkrackers 1001 Questions in MCAT Chemistry (Examkrackers)
http://www.studentdoctor.net/bookstore/index.php?mode=Books&item=1893858227

So, my question is should I just buy and Complete Study package and the books for each subject separately or just Complete Study package would be just fine? Or may be subject books will be fine without the complete study package.
Thank you 🙂

P.S. Also, what is Audiosmosis? I have already ordered one, because I have heared it was good. Does it teach just formulas?
 
My suggestion is:
complete Study Package
EK 101 passages in verbal
AAMC exams


This is all you truly need unless you find you have some problems with a topic/subject.

The other 1001 passage books are nice if you have the time but not truly necessary.

thanks again for your answer

e-mcat.com
3R is free
4R-6R can be purchased in a package
7 and 8 are both sold seperately
AAMC say #9 will be out early 2006

R=revised. I think it means that they revised the test by changing number of questions to reflect current changes such as number of verbal questions dropping to 60 from 65 a few years back.

Are you taking the April 2006 exam?

So, as I understand subject EK 101 is better than subject EK 1001?
What is the difference?

There is only one EK 101 book and that is for Verbal Reasoning.

The other books are EK 1001 ones, which are for each of the 4 sciences.
 
Teerawed, thank you very much for your answer.
Also, EK complete Study Package does it consist of 1 book or few books?
I was trying to order it on ebay and looks like some offer few books for $175 and other sellers show just 1 book for 95$.
So, it is kind of confusing 🙁

Here is what I found:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/18...102-1161985-4396107?s=books&v=glance&n=283155
$110
and
http://product.half.ebay.com/Examkrackers-McAt_W0QQtgZvidetailsQQprZ30217779QQitemZ12545950668
$175

which one do I need?
They seems both EK complete Study Package...
 
Get the brand new one from amazon. If you are still taking basic sciences you should look at the relevant chapters to become more familiar with the book.

As of now there is AAMC 3R,4R,5R,^R, 7, and 8. So 6 AAMC exams. You should be able to find AAMC 9 soon to make 7 exams which is more than enough for a 10-12 weeks study program.
