What books do you recommend? I've heard Nova Physics and Physics as a Second Language

khanacademy.org or check out his youtube channel

He has MIT electrical engineering degree and a MBA from harvard and has spoke twice on CNN about the housing/banking stuff. He's a philanthropic guy who is trying to singlehandedly record youtube clips to bring America up to par with the rest of the world on science education.

I could not have mastered physics without his youtube vods.

Biology: 1. EK Bio + EK 1001 Bio, non-detail oriented 1. BR/TPR Hyperlearning, detail oriented 3. Kaplan

Physics: 1. BR 2. Nova 3. TPR Hyperlearning 4. Kaplan

Verbal: 1. EK Verbal + EK 101 Verbal 2. TPR Hyperlearning 3. BR 4. Kaplan (Avoid if possible)

Organic Chemistry: 1. BR, by far 2. TPR Hyperlearning 3. EK/Kaplan

General Chemistry: 1. BR, by far 2. TPR Hyperlearning 3. EK/Kaplan

Get TBR.

I just watched a couple of his videos, those are great! Thanks for the great link!

why is it that kaplan VR should be "avoid if possible". I have tons of passages from them and Im planning to practice with them, and I also have EK 101. You think is a bad idea to do to many kaplan VR passages?

I've heard that Exam Krackers is good...?

I agree, thanks for the link. Bery good website. I never heard of it, wish I had it before I took the MCAT, ha!

 

[jscarpachio]

I just want a book that covers all the topics. Not necessarily prep for the MCAT.

No, I still think Kaplan is good review. It helped bring my Verbal score from an abysmal 4 or 6 (don't remember which anymore) to where it's at right now, hovering around high 10 low 11's. I think it's harder than AAMC exams, but it's still good practice. Just don't take your percent score to seriously, because they are oftentimes low.

YES! 👍👍👍 GREAT link! Hopefully it will help me...😛

Any book suggestions for a COMPLETE physics review? I need something basic that covers all the stuff I need, but not a textbook.

I don't understand why you keep asking this. The Berkeley Review's Physics book is a complete review that covers everything you need for the MCAT in much more depth than Examkrackers. If you're not looking for an MCAT book, I'm not quite sure why you're here.

I have BR for Physics. It's not what I'm looking for. I'm here for more suggestions.

I think you're looking for this...

I vote for NOVA. The example problems cover ALL of the possible setups that you can see on the MCAT and beyond. It is time-consuming, but you shouldn't see a Physics problem you couldn't tackle after using the book.

I prefer BR over Nova.

Hey guys. I'm one of those "I have too many prep books" people. I have just about everything except BR, but I am not willing to buy it because I have soooo many other books. ***Unless someone wants to do some trading?***

Anyway, I see most of you think Nova is better than TPR for physics, but what about G-Chem? I have both TPR and Nova, but I only want to use one bc I don't want to feel overwhelmed with material.

 

[AWhitehair]

FYI- I also have EK and Kaplan.

I had EK, PR, and BR books available to me. I tried a few chapters in each book and did some passages from each. After a few weeks (and the realization that I'd never finish at that rate) I switched to BR exclusively. I am so glad I did, because they are much better than both Ek and PR (for physics and chemistry at least).

Even if you are overloaded with books, it's a waste to spend time on materials when you know there's something better out there. You should trade all of your physics and gen chem books for the physics and gen chem books by BR.
