Hi, I have worked through Examkrackers 101 passages and consistently scored a 7 on almost all of them 🙁. I have also worked through all of princetons reviews material. Does anybody have any suggestions for what book or material I can buy for additional practice? Please.

Thank you

I've never heard of Berkeley Review and MCAT Achiever. Are they really good to prepare you for the MCAT?

How many passages are in the book in total?

The EK book has 14 tests which is 101 passages. I did a total of about 25-30 verbal tests before my exam and raised my score from a 6 to a 9. Its possible!

i got a 6 on the EK practice exam i took (1h i think). scored 8-11 on the AAMC ones available on e-mcat.com. got 12 on the real deal. i wouldn't put too much stock in EK's benchmark.

Moving to the MCAT forum.

I finished the EK book AND the princeton review material. But my score keeps fluctuating from a 7 to a 9, even on the AMCAS tests.

Maybe you're not thinking hard enough about the questions in the passages. Before I was reading the questions as how they were and not catching the details they ask in accordance to the general idea of the passage themselves. Or it is possible that you are not fully understanding why you got some of the answers wrong. I was consistently getting 8's or so on my practice tests and hoped that during the MCAT I could pull off a miracle and just "get" what was going on. My how wrong I was. Got a 7 and was not happy 😡.

Going to retake soon. I am doing the 101 Book and seeing my improvement by seeing the questions for what they are really asking. Go back to the strategies they say to use. I was depending on Kaplan's method and it def. did not work.

Good luck.

I really preferred TPR Hyperlearning Verbal to EK 101. If anyone needs the TPR book let me know! I'm selling it!
