EK. A lot of the prep books are too detailed.

From what I've heard the organic aspects on the mcat account for ~30% of the BS section and the mechanisms they cover are all pretty basic.

So, assuming this is true, then a basic review book or short concise book like the EK series would work quite well.

Others might have better suggestions, but I've heard that it's best not to get too wrapped up in minutia.

I agree, there's enough details in EK alone. It's great to understand the concepts, but there's enough to memorize in there itself. However, I supplement with Kaplan, for anything mentioned in EK that's just a one-liner, seems like they threw it in as an afterthought, but is much more developed in other ochem review books.

i also like the EK organic book (the manual, not the 1001).
