Does anyone know if the Berkeley MCAT Reveiw books are good?
lakersfan said:No, they are garbage. Way too detailed. I took PR for last April's test and bought BR books in Feb (2 months before the test). They are an absolute waste of 250 bucks...especially the verbal which is nothing like the MCAT verbal. Try out the Examkrackers 101 passages book if you need help in verbal. If you need help in the sciences PR is just fine and then you can try out the EK books .

Did your scores go up 6 points from thr BR exams or from AAMC exams? I am taking the BR exams now for the April MCAT, and even though their scales are pretty lenient, I still am getting around 26-28 on them. I would love to break a 30 on the real thing...
