I have 2 complete sets of different MCAT study packages for sale. I've gotten into medical school and am looking to pass these on to someone else. All of my books are practically brand new with no writing or highlighting. I knew I would be reselling them and thus wrote my answers on separate sheets of paper. Further, I ended up not having anywhere near enough time to study for my MCAT last summer so I didn't even touch most of the books for sale below. These books look brand new!
-Examcrackers: All of the study books in every subject + 1001 series in every subject (including 101 Verbal passages)+Audio Osmosis $250 OBO
This company is thought to provide the most concise and effective prep among all the major prep names out there. I'm sure you have heard about them if you're at all serious about studying for this beast of a test. The 1001 series will get you ready for nearly everything. 101 Verbal Passages by Examcrackers is almost unanimously considered the BEST materials for the verbal section and I have to agree.
-SOLD! The Princeton Review Hyperlearning 2010 Ed. includes all lecture books + exercise books in physical science/biological science/verbal. It's the whole package that one would get if they were to take the TPR prep course. $250 OBO
Princeton Review have the most detailed lecture books of all three. While the Examcrackers lecture materials mostly give you a quick review of the most important points, TPR Hyperleaning books are about as detailed if not more than your college textbooks. We can debate whether this is necessary but their practice books provide good questions.
If you're going to buy computer-based practice exams, I would say the online tests sold by the Berkeley Review are most similar to the real MCAT difficulty-wise, almost as realistic as AAMC #8,9,10 and now #11. I think some of the TBR online practice exams (which you'd have to purchase directly from the company and they are quite expensive!) are even harder than the AAMC practice exams.
For those pondering Kaplan, let me stop you there. It's the worse company when it comes to MCAT prep. Don't take their course and don't buy their books. Their exams are also not representative of how the MCAT will be. Save your money on more effective material. If you're going to waste a ton of dough to take a course, take The Princeton Review or Altius. I have heard nothing but good things about them. Although, I would recommend buying the books and just study on your own pace.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me. Btw, I will not sell any book out of its own bundle. You must take every book in the package you're interested in. I may consider selling Audio Osmosis separately.
