What does everyone think of the Khan Academy MCAT materials? Are they comprehensive enough to use as a major study tool or should they just play a small role?

100% disagree with #2. I used the new MCAT videos for virtually all of bio. Went from a 10 to 14/15 on AAMCs, but part of that could have been the effects of practice. The lower scores were after I used TPR. I thought the Khan videos were wonderful. There's more detail than necessary, but they* make it all VERY intuitive.1. The information itself is very good.
2. The presentation of the information could hardly be worse*. I'd love to see an SNL skit of that guy (he's so slow).
*My understanding is that he just released a bunch of new videos. Hopefully, those have improved presentation-wise.
I think khan and chads videos are fantastic for content review in the sciences.

Nah, it's more of a "you get what you pay for" type of situation going on.Khan = free
Therefore. Khan >>>>>>>>>>>> chad
How did you end up doing on the MCAT?I used Khan academy to teach myself all the MCAT material since I hadn't taken a science class since freshman year. Of high school. Once I understood the material, I used more traditional MCAT materials to refine/reinforce. Overall, this let me reduce my total career change/post-bacc and gap year time from 2-3 years to ~9 months.
Graduating med school in May. I'm a big fan of Khan's work.

* there's a number of different presenters now besides sal.
Edit: should also say that the PS videos are even better. They're what I used when learning the concepts the first time around in my classes. Didn't really need to do any content review for PS after learning from those.

Ok so when you don't agree with people you accuse them of lying to get money for endorsing a product. Nice.Heh, no. Chad is crazy expensive. Watched the majority of Chad's videos. The vast majority of his examples are dead easy to solve. People must be getting paid to preach for Chad, because his video's are worth half the price.
How much are the Chad videos for mcat?Ok so when you don't agree with people you accuse them of lying to get money for endorsing a product. Nice.

I have not opened my physiology book this semester, waste of 80 bucks. Instead, I just study the slides and watch Khan videos.Khan is great and I am really enjoying studying from it as opposed to getting back problems from reading books
Hi! I'm on the sameish boat, I haven't taken science courses in 6 years, though I was a science major. I just started khan, and the way I'm doing it, I'll finish the mcat course in 5 months . I was wondering approximately how long it took you to finish reviewing all mcat material on khan?I used Khan academy to teach myself all the MCAT material since I hadn't taken a science class since freshman year.

As my study prep for the MCAT, I looked at the khan academy videos exclusively and recieved a 517. I hadn't taken chem in a while and hadn't taken biochem or psych ever.
Do you guys have a link to this "course" or content review videos. Whenever i go to their site under MCAT, its only practice problems for each section.
Thanks
