If you plan to study on your own for the MCAT, I just did that and used the Examkrackers MCAT materials...they have a separate book for Inorganic, Organic, Bio, Physics, and Verbal/Math. They also have additional books that are 1001 questions in selected areas (Bio, etc.) I didn't use it, but they have a special CD for people studying on their own that is called Audio Osmosis and is essentially fun but informative lectures on the material. Check out their website (and bulletin board) on <a href="http://www.examkrackers.com." target="_blank">www.examkrackers.com.</a> I don't work for them, I promise...I really fell in love with these books. They were a great review (I hadn't taken sciences at all since bio last summer because I am taking a year off after college and needed to work on my major) and they cover everything and teach you HOW to take the MCAT, which is more important than you might realize...it's all about how you approach the test (once you know the basic science stuff). The two guys who run this program (Jordan and Jon) actually run classes in the NYC area (and are doing summer weekend workshops in DC and Philadelphia THIS SUMMER!) and are very supportive and answer any questions within 24 hours if you post them on their bulletin board site. It's a really great way to study on your own and have access to resources. I bought the Complete MCAT Study Kit off Barnes and Noble.com and purchased all the AAMC practice tests and felt totally prepared. Study on your own actually rocks because you get to focus on the areas you have problem with, fit it into your schedule, don't have to deal with annoying pre-meds (no offense, guys...you know pre-meds are too high-strung sometimes), and save TONS of money. Good luck!
