Does anyone have the Examkrackers 10th Edition that just came out? If so, is it drastically different from the 9th edition and worth buying?

I remember the 9th edition telling me not to memorize the amino acids...

So is the Examkrackers 10th edition vastly different? Would you recommend buying it?

If you already have the 9th edition, save your money. Examkrackers likes to give its test-taking strategies but at the end of the day, books are only good for cramming that information into your head. Anything in the book, whether or not they tell you to focus on it, you should know like the back of your hand. Test-taking strategies are best learned through experience such as taking the official AAMC material or through private tutors. It's very difficult to teach techniques through books so any attempt any book tries at teaching technique, it's like learning to do surgery because you read Wikipedia. If you need a reference for a good, inexpensive private tutor in the NY area or through videochat, PM me.

Of course not! Use the 9th, check their website for errors, there are a few and memorize your AAs. Also, get a set of TBR old is fine. Use the sticky study schedule that puts it all together.

But will the 10th edition update the psych/soc and biochem section since those are newer? I'm more worried about getting more info in those subjects that are concise to study from.

I don't believe it has changed much if at all. I logged on and looked at the 10th edition on their web site and it is exactly the same as 9th. If you can get the 9th for free don't buy the 10th.
