Good review books / tutor for the MCAT

[jhol16]

HI,
I've been studying for the MCAT since early June. I started out with a 17 and have not gone above a 24. I am scheduled to take the MCAT in mid-August, but I just don't see how I will be able to take it then. I've been taking a Kaplan's class but I dont feel like it is helping me and their methods seem completely worthless to me. Does anyone have any tips for books or tutors in NYC?? Or any tips on how I should be studying?

thank you so much. Do any of you know of any books that have tons of questions because I think it would help me to have access to more questions than kaplan provides.

EK 1001 Bio provides 1001 questions with both passages and discretes.

EK 101 Verbal offers 101 verbal passages.

The BR books contain around 100 or more passages per book set (i.e. all of BR Chemistry has around 100 passages).

I have all the review books I need. What I need are tons and tons of questions to practice with... Are there any books with 5,000 questions/passages or a similar book?
