You are most likely to create strategies of your own.
I thought Examkrackers was EXCELLENT at both teaching the material and teaching how to take the test. I ONLY did EK, and I did very well. There are many on the boards here who have similar stories.ExamKrakers is great at teaching the material and Kaplan is good at teaching you how to take the test.
I WOULD recommend using only EK...and lots of practice tests. Kaplan's strategies were useless and only slowed me down. (I was in the class but dropped it.)I would NOT recommend only using examkrackers to study since really doing well on the MCAT comes down to how well you can read that paragraph and use the information they give you to answer questions.
They just break it down for you and teach you how to take verbal from the ground up (starting with how to sit). It's very thorough and simply works. Get the book and see for yourself.Some of the Kaplan Verbal stuff DOES help(not necessarily mapping) but could someone tell me exactly what is so great about Exam Krackers in this respect that would warrant me getting that book to improve my score?

You're willing to shell out all that money for Kaplan but you won't buy a cheap book that could really help your score?
And for all the money it costs, Kaplan OUGHT to have at least SOMETHING useful to offer you. It's laughable that people even have to say that.

Whatever works for you. As long as you find something that increases your score.i think that sitting crap is BS. i sit curled up on my seat and do just fine.
i also hate kaplan though. i am an equal opportunity hater.
one thing i did take from kaplan was mapping out by paragraph in 3 words or less, just to help me actively read... i NEVER(rarely) look back at my map when answering questions. its just a method for me to keep my mind on the material.
Thanks man. It's funnier for people who know what Propofol is.Dude I love your name Milk of Amnesia aka propofol
Uh, money, time and effort. Is it at all practical for me to spend my time learning a whole new strategy.They just break it down for you and teach you how to take verbal from the ground up (starting with how to sit). It's very thorough and simply works. Get the book and see for yourself.
