I really recommend you guys getting the MCAT Physics book by Garrett Biehle.

It will cover any physics topic on the MCAT ensuring a 10 if not an 11+ score. It also has very high marks on Amazon, go check it out. It's also fairly cheap.

The questions it goes over are both conceptual and number crunching but much more MCAT like sometimes... especially vs. Kaplan. I used this book, then bothered with Kaplan physics which is babyish in comparison.

what about the examkracker books? does anyone have experience with them?
 
I used EK Physics and thought it was pretty good. I felt lost in some places because they assume you have a good understanding of the basics (which I didn't have b/c I took Physics over 5 years ago and had forgot a great deal of what I learned). I think using Audio Osmosis in addition to the EK Physics book helped also. Physics is an intimidating subject for me and I should have spent more time reviewing it. I think if you've had physics in the past year or two, and did fairly well, then EK Physics would give you good results. I started out with Kaplan, which is good also, but it goes way more in-depth.
 
from what i've heard, some book called "Thinking Physics" is supposed to be really good.
