Hi everyone,

I am looking for MCAT books or CDs, software etc that contain lots of sample exams (not just one or two).

I don't really need the theory on Physics, Chem, Bio etc just want to practice questions.

Thanks

For only practice Q's: The TPR Science Workbook is a favorite of mine, but it's tough to get a hold of unless you know someone who has taken the class. The EK 1001 Series is pretty good too--however the Gchem, Physics, and Ochem don't resemble the passage-based questions you'll see on the MCAT. It's essentially just a bunch of discrete questions that help you hammer down formulas and concepts. The Bio EK 1001 is all passages though. I also think that Kaplan has a pretty large question bank that you can purchase access to for around $200.

Practice Tests: The best source is AAMC and all of their practice tests--check out their website for access. Next, Kaplan, TPR, BR, and Gold Standard all have pretty solid CBTs; some are better than others.

If you decide later that you need content review, there is a materials list that the SDN community has voted on at the top of the MCAT Discussion page under Sn2's 3-month strategy.

The most passages and questions anywhere are part of the BR books. Granted, they have review, but within the review are several questions. I'd say there are about 1200 questions for general chemistry, 1000 for physics, 1200 for biology, and 1000 for organic chemistry within the books. And they all have detailed expalanations with tricks.

Absolutely. Even if you don't want content review BR has the most realistic (and best written) questions around in my opinion.
