I have an account and bought the tests, but hate the annoying popup solution pane. Is there a way to print the solutions so I can also view them offline?

You first have to use Mozilla Firefox rather then Internet Explorer. Then you have to cut and paste each individual solutions page from the pop ups on to MS Word. Then convert it into pdf if you want the file to be more readable without the weird boxes that show up on Word. It takes 4 hours or more to do all that per test.

If you are willing to waste time doing that then yes there's a way to print it. Otherwise, no you can't directly print from e-mcat.
you've actually done this, guju? hardcore :laugh:
 
4 hrs. wow. that just might be too much work for me 😛 thanks for the advice 🙂
 
Oh my god, it's way easier than this: you'll need acrobat (not acrobat reader). Just print to PDF. (ctrl-p and then choose save as PDF.) You'll have to go through each passage so it's pretty tedious, but the nice thing is you save all the solutions per passage. Perfect for bathroom reading! Also, this way lets you avoid Word altogether so it keeps the formatting (wysiwyg).
My access to e-mcat expires on the 30th... maybe I'll do this for test 3R-8 if I get bored.

good call. i was going to post that (printing to pdf). do you know a way to put all the pages together into one pdf after you print the one for each passage? i don't know a way to do it without purchasing the full version of adobe acrobat, which is like $600. i guess i could place each pdf into indesign and then print that document to pdf. does that make sense?

huh?? Please explain I'm confused about what you are saying about acrobat vs. acrobat reader. I'm really not computer savy like that.

i think you meant to hit reply to my post, but i'm not sure...

in any case, most people use adobe acrobat reader to view and print PDFs; it's free and readily downloadable/installable from the web. however, adobe acrobat reader won't let you create or modify a PDF. the full version of this product (just called adobe acrobat, no reader in the name) allows you to create and modify your own or other PDFs. it's VERY expensive though (around $600), so people usually only get it if they really need it.

i was just trying to think of another way to put all the solutions together into one single PDF (for the easiest printing), b/c i hate viewing them on the screen, and i wouldn't want to save and then print a separate PDF for each passage, as the previous poster had suggested.

I'm actually using a mac. Macs can make PDFs natively (without acrobat). I never thought about putting them in one file (I'm all about wasting limited resources). I'm sure it could be accomplished, but I don't have the desire or fortitude to do so.
And Adobe Acrobat is available for free on the internets. *cough*bittorent*cough* You know, in case you wanted it.
