I just purchased the book: Exambreakers Complete Study Pack online for $4 (it is originally $110), I got it on half.com. I was wondering if this is a quality product, regardless I didn't spend a lot on it so I'm not too worried, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience with this product. Thanks for your help.

I personally took the Examcrakers course and believe that it will definetly help you , in addition to your studying I would try to get your hands on as many full lenght practice exams and take them under test conditions....
Good luck

That is an incredible deal- did you get a really really old version? The 6th edition just came out and retails for $179. The 5th edition is still good too. They are acutally worth a lot on ebay and go for over their retail value sometimes- especially the 5th edition since amazon.com is backordered for them.

I wouldn't recommend using anything earlier than the EK 5th edition to study for the MCAT.
 
Its 5th edition, the guy got into med school apparently and is trying to sell all of his stuff off, either way I was really shocked, becausae I searched on Amazon for the same book and it was up in the $100s.
 
I personally had two full copies of the 5th edition study books, used. I sold each on ebay for around $140 very recently. I was amazed at how much I got.
 
Ok, its the 6th edition, I just checked my account status or whatever to review what I ordered. It said it came with the CDrom stuff, notecards, etc.

If you got the new full 6th edition EK study set for $4, that is an incredible deal. It retails for $179 from the EK website. Congrats!

I just checked myself and saw that this is most likely an error on the sellers part. You can clearly see in the item description that he/she is intending on selling this for $100+shipping, not $5.
 
hmm i haven't had an email sent to confirm the order yet, maybe he knows he goofed up, who knows.
 
$4 would be amazing. I liked the exam krackers alot. If you need any kaplan or aamc practice tests lemme know. I have them all in PDF format.
 
I thought exam krackers was very good. It was very easy to understand and interesting to read. My only problem was that some topics were not covered at all and others were not covered in, what I thought was, enough detail. That's easily solved by google. =)

Overall, I was happy.
